OPERATING-SYSTEM DEFENSE

Make attacks impossible by design.

ZMatrix re-architects the execution substrate with a microvisor that enforces invariants beneath the kernel. No signatures. No heuristics. No dwell time.

CAPABILITIES

Security that starts below software

Invariant enforcement

All syscalls and context switches are mediated with hardware-backed checks—no signatures.

Deterministic isolation

Immutable domains for memory, I/O and scheduling; lateral movement cannot originate.

Verifiable boot

Policies are data with proofs embedded at boot; trust is established before the kernel.

PROOF BY ARCHITECTURE

Microvisor below the kernel

ZMatrix mediates all transitions across privilege boundaries with constant-time, memory-safe guards. The kernel can’t violate what it can’t reach.

02 Immutable isolation domains for code + memory
03 Policy is data, verifiable at boot

THE PROBLEM

Traditional security operates too late

Detection happens after compromise. Response happens after exfiltration. ZMatrix eliminates the gap by making attacks structurally impossible.

OLD MODEL
Signature-based detection

Antivirus and EDR tools compare behavior against known threats. New exploits slip through until signatures are updated.

Zero-days have unlimited dwell time.

OLD MODEL
Software isolation

Kernel enforces process boundaries. But kernel exploits break all guarantees—root owns everything.

Privilege escalation defeats the model.

OLD MODEL
Trust after boot

Security policies load after the OS starts. Bootkits and firmware malware execute before any protection.

Trust is assumed, not proven.

ZMATRIX APPROACH

Structural prevention, not reactive detection

ZMatrix enforces security at the hardware layer. Policies are immutable. Isolation is guaranteed by silicon. Attacks that would compromise a traditional system simply cannot execute.

USE CASES

Deploy where security cannot fail

Critical infrastructure, financial services, defense systems, and cloud platforms demand security that's proven, not promised.

Critical infrastructure
Power grids, utilities, transportation

SCADA and ICS systems operate for years without security updates. ZMatrix locks down the execution environment—preventing attacks that exploit old vulnerabilities.

  • Immutable operational policies
  • Air-gap enforcement at hardware level
  • No signature updates required
💰
Financial services
Trading platforms, payment processors

High-frequency systems cannot tolerate detection latency. ZMatrix prevents exploits in real-time with hardware-speed checks—no waiting for analysis.

  • Sub-microsecond mediation overhead
  • Deterministic execution guarantees
  • Tamper-proof audit logs
🛡️
Defense & aerospace
Classified systems, embedded controllers

Mission-critical systems require provable security. ZMatrix's formal verification and measured boot provide mathematical guarantees—not probabilistic defenses.

  • Formally verified core components
  • TPM-based remote attestation
  • Zero trust from boot
☁️
Cloud & multi-tenant
Container platforms, virtualization hosts

Guest escapes threaten all tenants. ZMatrix isolates workloads at the hardware layer—even if the hypervisor or container runtime is compromised.

  • Hardware-enforced tenant boundaries
  • Per-workload policy domains
  • Transparent to applications
