Imagine, Surfing the web with complete security

New Concepts in computer security:

Without FP T!ME, programs and data files are very vulnerable!!!

An attack can infect any software and spread to other software, and use other unprotected data files to spread the attack to the Internet, a local network of computers, and ALSO the peripherals!

Not many people know about the viruses harming hardware devices. They are described under the term CIH viruses which stands for "Causes Irreparable Harm". People have the wrong impression that software can only attack other software, this is false with the CIH viruses which seem to be the new trend. The blackworm viruses are spreading fast and are very destructive, they replace most data with garbage.

The diagram is showing a computer without FP T!ME, infected by a CIH virus which damages not only data and programs such as the firewall making it even more vulnerable, it also damages peripherals by deleting the content of microchips in scanners, printers, DVD drives, flash cards etc.. It can spread the damage on local networks and the Internet of course, and it can harm the motherboard irreversibly as well, unless you happen to be lucky and you have a motherboard with a system to reinitialize the BIOS chip on it! It can also harm the users at the keyboard in many ways too, by robbing their identity, spying on them, robbing their bank account details, credit cards information, or any private valuable information. In brief, the attackers are mainly limited by their imagination!

Conventional antivirus or antispyware programs are executable files which are going to be targeted first by the attackers and once disabled and infected, security software (which scans the hard drives) can be used to spread the infection wider and faster at the next scan of the hard drives or the backup drives.

The biggest damages are not necessarily done at the moment of the infection, in order to leave it for some time to spread, and give it a chance to collect valuable data from the users at the keyboard. Most users are not going to react to the attacks before noticeable damage has been done, because their security software has been corrupted during the attacks. The security software is then unable to update or upgrade itself nor detect the attack.

The firewall can be damaged by the virus and allow more intrusions and attacks. Some damages cannot be repaired and the cost in lost time and money could be hard to quantify.

A multi layers protection allows the users to protect data files and programs from all kinds of threats, detect attacks from all angles including other programs already installed.

Programs can be limited to only access specific data.

"Cages" can be build around the dangerous folders where most Trojans are likely to fall.

"Safe Rooms" can be built around the confidential data so it can only be accessed by the authorized programs, for example, a "safe room" around emails and email programs to prevent other programs to read emails and harvest email addresses, which is very common in an attack.

A "Freezer" prevents the modification of the existing programs and the installation of new ones. Confidential information, settings and backup folders are safe!

The flexibility and power of FP T!ME are very high, and the users are empowered to take the control of their computer's security into their own hands. They can enjoy surfing the Internet and connecting to other computers without worrying about the low security settings of their browsers and their vulnerabilities, without fearing an intrusion.

The users can save time and use their computers with optimal performances and peace of mind!

Imagine being able to surf the web securely and enjoy the experience..........without worry about security

New Concepts in computer security:

"Cages": Cages are Folders inside which all programs have only access to files inside the cage. Cages can also be "Read only", then a program located inside them cannot change anything inside the cage. Cages are fundamental for temporary folders where the majority of Trojans, viruses, spyware, worms and bugs of all kinds fall.

"Safe Rooms Systems": Safe Rooms are Folders which are only accessible by selected programs and/or selected users at the keyboard.
A safe room can be not only unaccessible but also invisible, in other words "fully hidden" to all unauthorized programs and/or unauthorized users.
Safe rooms are fundamental for:

• emails folders, otherwise  any  program can read  our emails!
• files containing passwords, even encrypted, otherwise any program can try cracking them!
• backup folders, otherwise these local backups are NOT 100% reliable!
• to prevent the robbery of private data, whatever the threat, local or remote, by the user at the keyboard, a local program or an attacker on a local network or the Internet!
• to prevent and detect attacks from an insider, data thieves.

They are IDS, "Intrusion-Detection Systems".

"Freezers": Freezers prevent the modification of existing programs as well as the introduction of new ones. Freezers also protect critical settings such as those monitoring the access to the Internet. Freezers also protect the "shortcuts" leading to the programs.
Freezers are fundamental to protect all programs including the operating system and all software, especially the software used to protect the computer. Freezers also prevent the installation of worms, viruses, spyware, dialers, key loggers, adware, bugs of all kinds.

"Setting Protectors": Settings protectors prevent unauthorized modifications of the settings of your programs. Settings protectors are fundamental to protect from Browser Hijacking, Fishing, many forms of hacking and great to detect attacks as well as most attacks interfere with Windows settings. 

"Anti-formatters": Anti-formatters prevent the unauthorized formatting of a hard drive.
Anti-formatters are fundamental to protect from a malicious formatting of a hard drive.

"Honey Pots and trip wires installers": Honey pots and trip wires are dummy folders which are visible but their access or the access of some files inside them triggers an alert, with a pop up warning window if needed. 
Honey pots and Trip wires are particularly useful for detecting intruders and attacks from an insider, but also viruses trying to harvest email addresses or spyware trying to rob some data.
 

"Program Monitors": Programs Monitors monitor the programs running by controlling the data they access and how.
Programs Monitors are fundamental for detecting attacks of all kinds.
 

"Application blockers": Application blockers prevent users from using protected applications. 
Application blockers are fundamental to restrict users of a computer to use only the applications that they are allowed to use.
“Computer program”, “computer code”, “software”, “task”, “process” are different names for “executable file”, which means “file containing data which can be considered automatically as lists of instructions to execute”.
An application uses generally several executable files and data files. 

"Email Protectors": Emails protectors are fundamental to prevent any program and any user of the computer to access emails, read or write private emails, without authorizations . They prevent any bug to do any damage in the emails folder. 
Emails protectors are fundamental to protect emails.

"Backup Protectors": Backups are great to recover from all kinds of attacks but how can we be sure that the back ups are safe to use?
Backups protectors are fully hiding the Backups folders, making them unaccessible and invisible to all programs except the backup programs and only during the backup sessions, and only with the legitimate users at the keyboard. Backups protectors are fundamental to protect backups.
