Virsec First Principles eBook
The world runs on software.
It's time we fully secure it.


Back to the Basics
The concept of First Principles is attributed to Aristotle who used the method to break down complicated problems into their most basic elements. Virsec applies this approach to solving complex cybersecurity challenges. In this eBook, we have outlined the first principles that form Virsec's Deterministic Protection Platform.
Eradicating
Cybersecurity Threats

Enables you to build and run your world securely.
Highlights of the First Principles Approach
The world runs on software.
It's time we fully secure it.
Based on the First Principles approach, Deterministic Protection eradicates software threats
like ransomware and supply chain poisoning by focusing only on the way the software was designed
from the inside out-the developer's intent-and instantly blocks any attempted deviations.
The Challenge

Failed Attempts
to Solve It
Anti-Virus, WAF look for
SIgnatures-no match for
stealthy attacks

Probabilistic approaches yield false positives

EPP

EDR

XDR

The Result:
Human Intervention
Tedious, Impractical, Bottlenecks

The Solution:
First Principles
Approach
Deconstruct the problem to its elements
- Vulnerabilities give attackers control
- Control can happen in different ways
- With control, attackers insert malicious code
- Malicious code cause deviations from developers intent
- That's when damage happens

All parts of the code
must be protected
All of the time

Virsec's Deterministic Protection Platform (DPP) maps and understands what your software is predetermined to do, and immediately stops what it is not - before damage can be done.

- Eradicate software threats in real time
- Protect against zero-days, evolving attacks
- Regardless of environment, application, or attack method
- Whenever, wherever.
The Result:
Full Application Protection
