  • Method and system to protect software-based network-connected devices from advanced persistent threat
    Patent number: 10333955
    Abstract: A method of protecting a network-connected device from an advanced persistent threat cyber-attack is provided. A network-connected device having an operating system, a memory, memory instructions holding executable program instructions, and being communication enabled, is protected from an advanced persistent threat by steps of detecting the advanced persistent threat due to the presence of rogue software in the memory instructions of the network-connected device and locking-down the communications of the network-connected device. The network-connected device may be provided with low-level routines that are correlated to the memory instructions. Detecting the advanced persistent threat may be comprised of authenticating the memory instructions of the network-connected device by using the installed low-level routines.
