![]() ![]() You’re quite correct - HIPS ain’t new - they’ve been around for years. HIPS pretty much seems like what DiamondCS’ ProcessGuard does now except CAVS added a known app whitelist but ProcessGuard added process protection (to prevent unauthorized termination of a process, like the anti-virus, anti-malware, or other critical processes).ĭoesn’t look like Comodo came up with some new fantastic means of regulating what can run into memory but instead borrowed from an existing scheme. In System Safety Monitor ( ), they called their technology “Host Based Intrusion Prevention System” (which could obviously also be abbreviated to HIPS). I remember looking at a couple app firewalls back around 2years ago called “Abtrusion” and “System Safety Monitor”. Like many programs, they could incorporate a whitelist of known good apps along with a user updated whitelist. An application firewall also regulates what can load into memory. ![]() Seems like Comodo is just wrapping an old technology under a new name, just like many other AV and anti-malware vendors want to use their own “special name” rather than identify as an existing technology.
