McAfee’s DeepSAFE technology was demonstrated at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. It was able to detect and stop a zero-day Agony rootkit from infecting a system in real time. The technology, which was co-developed with Intel, sits below the OS, provides the ability to fundamentally change the security game, according to the companies. It is expected to launch in products later in 2011. The companies are working on joint technologies to better protect every segment across the compute continuum from PCs to devices.
