Green Hills Software Puts Windows in a Padded Cell
Embedded systems vendor
Green Hills
Software today announced
Padded
Cell, a secure virtualization technology that provides virtualized operating
systems such as Windows with provable protection against external attack.
Padded Cell makes use of Green Hills' INTEGRITY embedded OS and its expertise
in secure software to block all unauthorized access to Windows or other popular
operating systems.
Don't count on buying retail copies of Padded Cell for personal use, however.
Green Hills is in negotiations with several processor and system vendors to
make this technology broadly available in computers you buy in the future. If
this happens, you may never have to install another security patch again.
Do you think secure virtualization is the answer to malware and system hacks?
