Data security product leverages mission critical background in aerospace & defense to meet the most stringent security requirements
San Jose, California - March 30, 2021 – Lynx Software Technologies, an innovator in modern platform software technologies, today announced the availability of LynxSafe, a family of products that now allows enterprise IT teams to apply Lynx’s long-standing expertise in secure mission critical systems to end-points. The first LynxSafe product, which is focused on secure laptops, creates isolated partitions that can run multiple security functions and secure operating systems. This enables architects to create products that deliver different levels of security for business and personal domains, which remains vitally important as people continue to work remotely and in zero-trust environments.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the security of the enterprise and IT worlds have faced a crisis of unprecedented proportions as people continue to work remotely. According to a Lynx study conducted in Q1 2021:
As employers continue to offer remote and hybrid work options, LynxSafe provides a proven alternative to perimeter-based security, answering the unprecedented challenges of extended, fragmented workforces on top of the mounting threats IT teams were already facing.
“Organizations must deliver a failproof way to secure end-points such as laptops, edge servers, networking cards and other devices in a work-from-home, zero-trust environment,” said Pavan Singh, VP of Product Management at Lynx. “Effectively, what LynxSafe enables is the ability to extend the company firewall to the place where you are working, be that a house, a coffee shop, or an airplane. Lynx has a long history of securing mission-critical applications onboard vehicles for companies including Airbus, Collins Aerospace and NASA, where application failure is not an option, and we’re confident in LynxSafe’s ability to emulate this success for IT organizations.”
Unlike other enterprise-class hypervisors, which typically create a software abstraction layer between the hardware and the virtual equipment that runs on it, the LynxSafe works by using a separation kernel-based approach. The LynxSecure separation kernel is inherently more effective for creating secure end-points running multiple isolated functions, including domains for different security and classification levels. Two variants of the product exist:
Other features and benefits of LynxSafe include:
