Hackers around the world have been blocked in their attempts to penetrate computers in the United States by a new technology unveiled today at the National Press Club.
“There is nothing else out there that compares.”
Well over two million attempts were made in the past two weeks to penetrate the technology which protects computer networks, according to speakers at the demonstration. All the cyber attacks failed.
The successful anti-hacker technology was demonstrated by a Virginia high-tech research firm, InZero Systems, whose advisory board includes General Wesley Clark and Rear Admiral Jay Cohen, former undersecretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Clark said that test after test had shown that the new hardware-based technology was a significant breakthrough for the nation’s national security. “This is what we need for both our government and commercial systems,” he said. “There is nothing else out there that compares.”
Cohen said the system was needed by all government agencies. “We are extremely vulnerable. This InZero system is years ahead of anything the government or private sector currently possesses to protect our computer networks from cyber attacks. It is particularly important in the area of homeland security.”
Louis R. Hughes, former president of Lockheed Martin and executive vice president of General Motors, a co-founder and CEO of InZero Systems, said the system can be attached to or embedded in any computer at very modest cost.
“This is essentially what Congress and the Administration have been calling for,” Hughes said. “It is not only vital for our national security, but is a very important development for the American economy and our major corporations, especially defense contractors,” he told the audience of corporate executives and government officials. “It will prevent theft of proprietary information and strengthen our competitiveness throughout the world.”
He explained that the system was developed and tested at no cost to taxpayers – and the equipment is available immediately.
