Application Hardening with GuardIT®
Defend, Detect and React Guard Technology
Arxan protects applications against tampering, piracy, malware insertions or unauthorized use. GuardIT provides a unique protection against compromise of an application as it actively defends, detects and reacts against attempted attacks, providing durable and resilient security to today’s threat profiles. Many software-driven Global 500 companies are using GuardIT to successfully safeguard their software assets and preserve revenues.
Arxan’s GuardIT technology 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, or simply terminating execution. Power users can customize reactions to include phone-home functionality, altering of internal algorithms or forced renewal, making hacking an extremely difficult and frustrating process.
