New Computer Technology Has “Incredible Implications”

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Only a device that can trap cyber attacks before they reach a computer can protect America’s vital computer systems, former NATO commander Wesley Clark said on the syndicated TV talk show White House Chronicle that will be aired nationwide this weekend.

Clark was referring to the InZero Gateway Computer developed by InZero Systems of Herndon, Va. Since last June, it has successfully blocked more than 25 million cyber attacks after InZero challenged hackers around the world to try to break in.

“This technology has incredible implications,” Clark told White House Chronicle Host Lewellyn King. “If it could be adopted, it could virtually shut down the idea of cyber war. This technology can block cyber intrusions and still remain open for communications.”

Clark, who serves as chairman of InZero’s advisory board, said the technology was developed by a Ukrainian scientist who realized that no amount of software patches could permanently stop cyber attacks.

It is essentially a computer within a computer, he explained. All messages coming to the host computer are first checked instantaneously by the InZero computer for malicious software. The InZero device traps anything suspicious before it can reach the host computer.

Government and business are spending billions of dollars on software solutions to cyber threats, Clark said, only to see cyber attackers defeat them to gain access to critical data and damage the host computer.

“We are under cyber attack every day,” Clark told King. “There are tens of thousands of people who try to enter people’s computers, steal their data, take intellectual property, disrupt systems. It’s already an ongoing battlefield.”

This edition of the White House Chronicle will be aired first in Washington on WHUT (Channel 32) on Friday at 6:00 p.m. In Washington, it also will be aired on WETA (Channel 26) on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. and again on WHUT Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

It also will be carried by Sirius XM Radio (Channels 110 and 130) nationally on Saturday at 9:30 a.m.

The show will be aired on more than 300 public and commercial TV stations nationwide, and will be carried by the Voice of America.

InZero Systems began operations in 2005 with the goal of providing organizations with a far more effective, yet fundamentally different approach to protecting sensitive data. Headquartered in Herndon, Va., the company is led by cyber security experts, entrepreneurs, and Fortune 100 senior executives and has grown to more than 60 employees.
