  Asgent, Inc. (JASDAQ: 4288, President & CEO: Takahiro Sugimoto, located in Chuo-ku, Tokyo), a pioneer in network security, announces that Karamba Security (CEO & Co-founder: Ami Dotan, located in Israel) XGuard now supports hypervisors and applications in containers (Dockers and others). This will allow the protection to cover the entire hypervisor infrastructure including the domain controllers.

[Secure Domain Controllers]
  Automotive, enterprise edge, and 5G Telecom device providers are moving to an architecture that consolidates hardware platforms and promotes hardware-software separation in the domain controller architecture. Multi-domain controllers are prime targets for hackers, due to the heavy workload implemented on them and the connection between mission-critical applications and other virtualized guests on the shared hardware.

[XGuard2.0]
  XGuard is an autonomous security product that prevents cyber-attacks on connected cars and IoT edge devices. The support for hypervisors will now secure the domain controllers running on hypervisor platforms. The product adds automatically-generated control flow integrity (CFI) and binary whitelisting to hypervisor, enabling security between the guest applications and the host, and between guests. XGuard 2.0 also supports deployments of applications in containers that are considered simple to develop and deploy across various Linux-based systems. This allows XGuard to secure the entire hypervisor infrastructure including the host, the container infrastructures and guest applications. And this protection is added seamlessly, without developer intervention.
  “We are excited to serve our customers’ roadmaps to multi-domain edge and IoT devices and enable them to seamlessly secure their next-gen architecture”, said Ami Dotan, Karamba Security CEO and Co-founder, “with over 1 million devices signed for production, and over 50 completed projects in automotive, IoT and edge devices, the need to secure virtualized architectures on the edge device was raised in various industries and we are proud to enable runtime integrity for this architecture.”

[Integration with PikeOS]
  Karamba also announced an out-of-the-box integration with SYSGO’s PikeOS. PikeOS customers can now protect their applications against in-memory attacks, without requiring any developer intervention.
  “We are excited to partner with Karamba Security on their XGuard 2.0” said Jose Almeida, VP Automotive SYSGO. “When it comes to cybersecurity in automotive, PikeOS is a leading hypervisor choice with its EAL3+ CC certification, and our ability to offer Karamba’s award-winning XGuard as a built-in optional feature for PikeOS gives developers access to additional state of the art embedded cybersecurity that integrates seamlessly into the development process of advanced domain controllers.”
