A New Foundation: Redefining Security with Runtime Integrity
Before Invary, cybersecurity teams had to hope/assume the kernel remained secure after boot. But hope is not security, and a security posture cannot be built on an assumption.
The stakes are high because a threat actor with control over the operating system can circumvent controls and obscure its own activity, effectively neutralizing traditional detection and response mechanisms.
Invary‘s cutting-edge Runtime Integrity solution continuously verifies the foundational layers of a system to be in a known-good state and detects threats that subvert or modify intended functionality.
This is the infrastructure of trust itself. In fact, it is a crucial enabler of modern Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), where no layer is trusted without verification.
Runtime Integrity leverages Linux Kernel Integrity Measurement (LKIM) technology developed by the NSA’s Laboratory for Advanced Cybersecurity Research and exclusively licensed to Invary. It was designed to solve one of the most elusive and dangerous problems in cybersecurity: how to detect threats at the kernel and eBPF levels (and beyond), even detecting zero-day and previously unknown attacks.
The urgency around this is real, and growing. Attackers’ costs have plummeted, turning cyberattacks into a volume game, with every organization becoming a potential target for ransomware, data exploitation, and/or disruption.
Until now, the entire industry has used event-based security mechanisms that rely on behavioral indicators, logs, or known signatures. It’s a reactive model that leaves dangerous blind spots, such as assuming the kernel is secure at runtime, where attackers like rootkits, ransomware, and other stealth malware can persist invisibly.
Furthermore, once the core of your system has been compromised, your operations and even your existing security tools’ data can no longer be trusted.
Invary replaces that model with something fundamentally stronger: state-based verification. Rather than watching for events or known attacks, Invary continuously verifies the system’s integrity and detects any deviation in real time.
Malware is designed to blend in like a needle in a haystack, but Invary doesn’t try to identify the needle. We notice when the haystack itself changes. The result? When a system has integrity, every other control you rely on becomes stronger.
Powered by NSA-licensed technology, the Invary team has developed Runtime Integrity into a platform that is scalable, standards-aligned, and proven in high-assurance environments across enterprise, government, and defense systems.
From national security to critical infrastructure to the private sector, Runtime Integrity is now the foundation of cybersecurity.
