Enterprise Software Security and Piracy Protection

Application Protection

Software applications are the foundation of today’s enterprise. As hackers target your applications to access confidential data and valuable intellectual property (IP), perimeter security is no longer enough to protect enterprises. Furthermore, the majority of targeted information security attacks today are launched by internal attackers such as current employees, ex-employees and partners. Applications are tampered with to bypass security measures, such as authentication and network policy enforcement to enable malicious activity such as data theft or compromise document signing.

Arxan’s technology protects enterprise applications against tampering by the most sophisticated attackers, even if they manage to obtain administrative privilege over your applications. Our application hardening solutions protect critical intellectual property, deeply safeguard data, and ensure that you remain immune against both internal and external threats.

Protection for .NET Applications
Enterprise applications today are largely written in managed languages such as .NET and Java, which are easy to disassemble and reverse engineer. Added factors such as rich internet application (RIA) development and Web 2.0, plus the increasing risk of insider attacks make safeguarding applications critical. Arxan technology prevents reverse engineering of managed and native software applications, thereby preventing exploits of vulnerabilities and theft of intellectual property.

Defense-in-Depth for Keys
Cryptography is the first line of defense in protecting data against theft and disclosure. However, the security of encryption, authentication and code-signing measures is wholly dependent on the confidentiality of secret keys and integrity of public keys. These assets are also the primary targets of attack by insiders and malware insertions. Arxan technology provides an in-depth defense for keys to secure the cryptography layer and the applications which use them, thereby providing a robust and reliable defense for data and corporate intellectual property.

Hardening Applications Against Malware
Compliance regulations like PCI mandate the use of code scanning tools to find security vulnerabilities in applications. The challenge all development teams face is limited time and resources to validate and fix every issue which the scan uncovers. Additionally, enterprises leveraging third party software such as internet browsers, email applications, word processors and VPN clients are dependent on the vendors for timely security patches. Arxan’s technology works directly on compiled binaries, with no dependence on source, to reliably harden all software against damaging malware and worrisome zero-day exploits.
