7 Key Factors for Software Protection

Arxan’s Guard Technology meets these 7 key factors required for successful software protection

1. Durable
   • Diversification to protect against BORE attacks
   • Randomized security so deterministic exploit cannot be constructed
     
2. Active and Dynamic
   • Static measures (e.g. obfuscation & encryption) good base defense
   • Additional defense layers to protect IP and comprehensively bind application components together
   • Dynamic protection to detect attacks and react to overcome threat
     
3. Resilient
   • Ability to quickly respond to potential breaches
   • Easily enhance protection to account for evolving threatosphere
     
4. Easy to Use
   • Build a solution customized to application needs and structure
   • Specify type of protections with appropriate localized or global scope
   • Augment protection easily over time (depth and breadth) as application grows and business needs change
   • Intuitive interface to quickly build customized protection scheme and command line interface flexibility to integrate protection into build scripts
     
5. Proven
   • Protection technology has been stress tested through existing deployments and stringent third party testing
   • Technology is constantly evolved so your security is one step ahead of hackers
     
6. Performance Friendly
   • Protection imposes minimal or no run-time performance impact, so entire application can be protected to necessary extent
   • Security does not invade end-user system
   • Minimal interference with field debugging and customer support
     
7. Development Friendly
   • Securing code manually is a costly and time-consuming process
   • Source- level security has high development and maintenance costs
   • Binary-based automated solutions offer lowest total cost of ownership
   • Solution should allow controlled testing and in-house debugging
