Security ServiceDDH BOX
An Exit Safeguard That Prevents Data Leaks Through Unauthorized
Communication Countermeasures on Par with Government Agencies
Malware attacks have continued to evolve. It has been reported that nearly 1.2 million new types of malware emerge every day, meaning typical security measures cannot block 100% of cyberattacks. DDH BOX is not an “entry safeguard” service that detects virus threats and blocks intrusions, nor an “internal safeguard” service that detects and stops suspicious programs, but an “exit safeguard” service focused on preventing data leaks by keeping infections contained.
