Threat Protection Overview
NVIS AI offers comprehensive threat protection by addressing critical security vulnerabilities that can compromise data integrity, privacy, and system functionality. The platform actively safeguards against various attacks that could lead to unauthorized access, data leaks, or permanent service disruptions. With a focus on maintaining secure communications and protecting sensitive information, NVIS AI helps organizations stay one step ahead of cyber adversaries. Below are the vulnerabilities that NVIS can help safeguard against.
TunnelVision Vulnerability
TunnelVision allows attackers to bypass VPN encapsulation and redirect traffic outside the VPN tunnel via DHCP manipulation, leading to data interception by a third-party server. The VPN tunnel remains active, misleading users into thinking they are securely connected while their data is exposed
NVIS AI ensures no traffic leaks outside the VPN tunnel, maintaining data integrity and security
WebRTC Leaks
WebRTC exposes the user’s real IP address, even when using a VPN, through peer-to-peer connections. This leak bypasses VPN encryption and allows third parties to track and identify users despite VPN protection
NVIS AI ensures users remain anonymous and protected from WebRTC-related privacy threats
DNS Cache Snooping
Attackers exploit cached DNS queries to track and profile users, leading to privacy breaches, targeted attacks, and data profiling
NVIS AI prevents this by implementing DNSSEC and restricting unauthorized access to DNS caches
PDOS (Permanent Denial of Service)
PDOS attacks exploit software or hardware vulnerabilities to permanently disable systems, causing lasting damage and requiring costly repairs. These attacks exploit critical weaknesses to corrupt, destroy, or disable components
NVIS AI prevents PDOS attacks through continuous security testing, secure coding practices, and robust hardware and software defense mechanisms
Privilege Escalation
Privilege escalation is a serious security flaw that allows attackers to gain higher-level
access than they are authorized for. This can occur due to unpatched vulnerabilities,
misconfigurations, or weak access controls. Once exploited, attackers can steal
sensitive data, install malware, disable security defenses, or modify system
configurations, potentially gaining full control over the system
NVIS AI enforces strict access controls, continuous monitoring, and real-time
anomaly detection to identify and block unauthorized privilege escalation
attempts before they can cause harm
NVIS AI has significant security advantages vs Centralized VPNs (SSL and IPsec) as shown in the independent test of NVIS AI by Miercom Labs and certified in 2022.
