Hypervisor aims to secure both embedded and IT systems
The LynxSecure hypervisor has been designed to offer military-grade protection for the latest generation of laptops, desktops, servers and embedded systems, helping protect these connected devices from malicious cyber attacks. With its small footprint, high performance and flexible virtualization support on the latest generation of Intel multi-core processors, LynxSecure brings the benefits of virtualization to users that have not had the opportunity to use virtualization before because of size or security issues. It offers a secure multi-domain platform for users to have separate virtual machines for browsing and corporate functions on endpoints, and also gives the ability to securely host multiple tenants on a single blade for cloud and server implementations.
It includes new key features such as focus-based processor optimization, a new secure console for user interaction with the secure platform, and new virtual network support for increased inter-virtual machine communication. LynxSecure 5.1 is also the first version of LynxSecure that supports the 3rd Generation Intel Core Ivy Bridge processor family.
"We believe that the latest version of LynxSecure brings secure virtualization to a wider range of users,” said Robert Day, vice president of Marketing for Enterprise Security at LynuxWorks. "The wide range of use cases for the LynxSecure 5.1 platform include securing endpoints, thin clients, multi-level workstations, and also server, appliance and cloud implementations in data centres."
