AppGuard, designed by and for the CIA and other 3-letter government agencies, is now being made available to corporations and organizations. AppGuard shuts down attacks at the kernel level by using AppGuard’s groundbreaking, patented, preventive approach to stop malware and zero-day attacks in their tracks before they can cause any harm, providing better security without the need for detection and response to incidents.
