Platform for Real-time Adversarial Characterization and Adaptive Software Protection Countermeasures

Cyber threats to information systems and cyber-based critical infrastructure are expanding and evolving in techniques that avoid being detected, altered, and reverse engineered. Traditionally an attacker would utilize known vulnerabilities and leverage commercial or open source tools. The next generation of attackers may carry out more sophisticated attacks such as firmware modifications, BIOS implants, and hardware exploits. These evolving attacks continue to plague systems and networks due to their inability to adapt over time. Most of these systems rely on outdated information, rules, and signatures to detect and stop attacks. Codebex proposes an innovative platform that provides a secure, extensible, and out-of-band system for detecting, adapting, responding to new and more sophisticated attacks.
