authorized and verified mission computing environments.
On non-authorized, instrumented or modified hardware,
the software remains fully-protected against exposure and
reverse-engineering attacks.
▪ Technology Protection – The Crucible Security Suite is
uniquely designed to shield sensitive software technologies
from unauthorized access, theft, or reverse engineering.
These protections are in place at rest, during boot, and
throughout system operation. In addition to TrueBoot,
Crucible provides runtime memory protection, mandatory
access controls, and anti-debug capabilities to protect
sensitive applications and data at runtime.
