License management solutions are a necessary business tool to enforce licensing agreements and keep honest users honest. However, professional pirates can easily separate license management from your software. License management routines come down to a single yes-no point of decision -- this single point of failure is where the product can be compromised. These exploits are simple to find, easy to hack, and quick to disseminate over the internet.

GuardIT secures license management routines and binds them deeply into the overall application, eliminating single points of failure without complicated reengineering of the software or resorting to invasive security measures. The application is now secured from being reverse engineered, tampered or otherwise compromised.

GuardIT protection is transparent to the end user – it does not invade the user’s machine in any way and does not impact application performance.

Algorithms and proprietary routines in high value software are developed at an enormous cost to the software vendor and are critical to maintaining your business advantage and price point. Pirates will often reverse engineer your software to extract this valuable IP, thereby creating equivalent knockoffs that can erode your profits or undermine your business model altogether.

GuardIT provides sophisticated protection that makes it extremely difficult for a hacker to locate sensitive regions of code statically or to analyze these regions at run-time – supplementing this with features such as cross-module authentication and custom reactions.

Protection is tightly bound into the internal program logic and algorithmic implementations, forcing the attacker to not only be an expert in hacking, but in the program’s own algorithmic detail in order to subvert the protection.

DRM applications are required to meet one or more industry standard robustness rules. Non-compliance results in significant penalties, yet teams need to deliver maximum features and performance on aggressive schedules to be competitive.

GuardIT enables developers to quickly, effectively, and durably secure sensitive routines, allowing teams to focus maximum attention on user-oriented features. GuardIT’s anti-tamper, encryption, and individualization features are particularly valuable for DRM applications.

GuardIT provides the lowest total cost of ownership for DRM robustness through point-and-click closure of breaches and separation of security design and updates from core development.
