HUBBIT has chosen the opposite strategy of the current antivirus players to deal with the increasing challenges from smart hackers:
– If you can’t beat them, contain them
All potential dangerous files (that can execute something; exe, dll, htm, scripts etc.) are contained in a box when they are installed. If the files are hacked with hostile code, the box security will detect unauthorized changes to the code and suspend execution.
– Only in a box
The same executable files (above) have to be started from a box. Freestanding files hidden around on your computer will not execute.
– Encryption
All files are encrypted when loaded into the box, and decrypted when unloaded. You have to be authorized to read the content.
