"Protecting Device Software from Zero-Day Attacks with TrustMS"

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), in partnership with Intelligent Automation, Inc. (IAI), developed a new technology called the Trusted Mobile System (TrustMS). This cybersecurity tool secures device software by preventing attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities, including those considered zero-day. TrustMS adds extra protection below the application layer. This technology monitors software as it launches to detect attacks at the lowest levels. Once threats are identified, TrustMS eliminates them. TrustMS protects against stack manipulation, buffer overflows, the execution of unintended code, and other exploits. Vincent N. Sritapan, manager of the S&T Mobile Security R&D program, said this technology will significantly improve the security of devices, apps, and embedded systems. This article continues to discuss how TrustMS secures mobile and embedded devices from cyberattacks, as well as the development of this technology and its potential use in different sectors to defend critical infrastructure and secure operations.
