Barrier1 Avoids Bait-and-Switch Attacks
Barrier1 is Designed to Avoid Bait-and-Switch Attacks
There is a growing awareness of a vulnerability in AV products that could potentially allow a “bait-and –switch” technicque. The issue is the use of Hooks or DLL. All products require some type of connection or integration to the OS. It is how it is done that can bring a security risk.
Barrier1 was designed to inspect, act (accept/reject), and then pass the packets on accordingly. This process is isolated from various hook into the OS. The second protection is that Barrier1 was designed with multiple security checks that only allows Barrier1 into the DLL or Kernel layers.
