Abstract: A method of enhancing security of at least one of a host computing device and a peripheral device coupled to the host computing device through a communication interface. Data is transparently received from the peripheral device or the host computing device, and the received data is stored. The stored data is analyzed to detect a circumstance associated with a security risk. If such a circumstance is not detected, then the data is transparently forwarded to the other of the peripheral device or the host. However, if a circumstance associated with a security risk is detected, then a security process, defined by a rule, is performed. Related apparatus are provided, as well as other methods and apparatus.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computer program product for protecting a computer-driven system from a security threat. The computer-driven system includes a processor host running an operating system in a virtualized environment in communication over a network with a plurality of electronic devices. A set of protocols governs communications over the network between the processor and the devices. The method includes receiving a driver call made to a specific driver, the driver call being generated by the operating system in response to a system call made by an application as well as interrupting transmission of the driver call to the specific driver; and performing a series of paravirtualization processes.

Abstract: A method is provided of enhancing security of at least one of a host computing device and a peripheral device. In the method, the host computing device is coupled to the peripheral device through a communication interface. The method includes transparently receiving data from one of the peripheral device and the host computing device, and storing the received data. The method further includes analyzing the stored data to identify a circumstance posing a security risk. If analyzing does not identify such a circumstance, then the method includes transparently echoing the data to the other of the peripheral device and the host. If analyzing does identify such a circumstance, then the method includes performing a security process defined by a rule. Related apparatus is provided, as well as other methods and apparatus.
