Software security can be divided into 2 major categories: signature based and behavioral based. Both software approaches require a lot of human intervention to perform constant updating of the signature library, or to deal with complex configuration. But 95% of cyber breaches are often caused by humans. Moreover, the X-PHY^® SSD operates and detects in a very specific NVMe protocol, while software is detecting in external open environment where there are many attack vectors. Anti-virus protection is no longer enough and the X-PHY technology eliminates the need for human intervention and provides 24/7 threat protection against any new threats (known as zero-day exploits) with a 100% capture rate. It identifies and locks down any abnormalities in the data access patterns from the Host to the SSD. X-PHY can also prevent against the stealing of a drive and a temperature attack on the SSD drive.
