Application Hardening
GuardIT and EnsureIT: Desktop, Server, Embedded and Mobile Software Security
Arxan protects applications against tampering, piracy, reverse-engineering, malware insertions or unauthorized use. Arxan provides unique protection against application compromise with GuardIT and EnsureIT to provide durable and resilient security to protect code integrity, intellectual property and revenue streams. Without changing the source code or the how the application works, Arxan’s software security for desktop, server and embedded platforms works inside the application to guard against hackers. Arxan Technologies' award-winning GuardIT® and EnsureIT™ offer proven and non-disruptive protections against code-based attacks over a broad range of application types. The protections are inserted into the application, so best of all, they go where the applications go!
- Native C/C++, managed .NET, interpreted Java and Mac OS X
- Web, desktop, server, embedded, thick client and thin client applications
- Windows, Linux, Mac and embedded platforms such as ARM
- 32-bit and 64-bit, and PowerPC
GuardIT – is a proven commercial software protection solution for that enables you to easily build and deploy unique security for your application. The GuardIT Family includes GuardIT for Windows, GuardIT for Microsoft .Net Framework, GuardIT for MAC OS X, GuardIT for Java and GuardIT for FlexNet Publisher. The GuardIT platform is the only binary-based application hardening solutions that spans the breadth of these platforms for desktop and server applications.
EnsureIT – delivers automated software security to protect the code integrity, intellectual property (IP) and authorized access to embedded applications. As embedded software is at the heart of most industries, ranging from digital media consumer devices, telecommunications, robotics, biomedical equipment, telemetry or to home appliances, software protection is needed to ensure business models, IP and digital right management (DRM) requirements are preserved.
At the heart of both GuardIT and EnsureIT is Arxan’s Guard technology, which empowers you to neutralize software threats through a combination of technologies that include:
- Defense Techniques - to prevent reverse engineering of native, managed and mixed mode code. These include binary level obfuscation, encryption, anti-debug and dynamic randomized execution of Guards.
- Detection Techniques - to prevent tampering and code-lifting. These include checksum verification (tamper detection), cross-component authentication and debugger detection. This arsenal set also includes pre-damage functionality, which prevents valuable or vulnerable code from appearing or executing if your application is under attack.
- Reaction Techniques - which provide customized protection, are invoked when any attack is detected. Reaction Guards can be programmed in many ways, such as self-healing of tampered code, signaling to other software components, termination of a program, phone home with information gathering techniques or simply terminating execution. This is all part of Arxan’s policy-based Guard reaction framework. In addition, power users have the option to customize reactions that alter internal algorithms or forced renewal, making hacking an extremely difficult and frustrating process.
