Breach management
Accelerate the understanding and remediation of security breaches.
Given sufficient time and resources, hackers can often find a way breach your security, circumventing the defenses of even well-protected systems. Cloakware's Breach Management Services helps you prepare for, and respond to security breaches which may occur in the field. Whether you currently have a plan with built-in diversity, renewability capabilities for current deployed field operated devices or you need a countermeasure strategy, we can help. A Breach Response Management System is most effective when designed in from the start, and supported by ongoing monitoring and countermeasure development services. Cloakware has the expertise and technology to provide the required services and components.

Breach analysis
- Accelerate the understanding and remediation of security breaches on end devices.
- Scope is platform and breach specific (applicable to set-top boxes, PCs, handsets, portable players and other devices).
- Quickly respond to breach and protect against further attacks.
- Download, reproduce and analyze discovered circumventions of various types.
- Detailed reporting of techniques and tools employed; correlation to threat/risk analysis and attack trees; impact statement.
Countermeasure design, strategy and tactics
- Design, develop, harden and test countermeasures.
- Tactics for individual countermeasures (deployment timing and logistics; level of hardening; differential analysis impact; failure modes, red herrings).
- Strategy for overall countermeasures plan (architectural evolution to address weaknesses).
Countermeasure deployment
- Leverage patch or software update renewability mechanisms to address field deployments.
- Fast track countermeasures into new and upcoming releases.
- Works best with a well defined “Crack Response Agent” which:
- enables quick response to unforeseen and anticipated attacks;
- is well protected and easily diversified;
- is easily renewed;
- delivers critical functionality and cannot be neutralized without breaking solution;
- provides a good vehicle for delivering countermeasures; and
- implements an effective security check/response profile.
