HPE Labs VIDEO | How a Ground-up Approach Can Keep Data Safe

Mon, 10/23/2017 - 10:15

Labs researchers are developing ways to separate the part of a computer responsible for security from the main operating environment so it can monitor for signs of an intrusion. They’re also coming up with technologies for detecting anomalous behavior on the network, rapidly encrypting data even while it’s in use, and authenticating not just users and applications but also discrete processes.
