  • Reference – add a link to a reference which identifies the person and/or highlights their notability

"The former head of Intel's advanced threat team, has published research showing that the Spectre CPU flaws can be used to break into the highly privileged CPU mode on Intel x86 systems known as System Management Mode (SMM)." [ZDNET, 18May2018]


founder & CEO of ECLYPSIUM

"Today, we are proud to announce a new approach to enterprise security that protects the firmware and hardware at the heart of our devices. For everything from laptops to servers to network devices, we find the areas where you are vulnerable and actively defend against attacks in the firmware. This is specifically the area where the most innovative attackers have been focusing recently, and until today, where defenders have lagged behind. This is an incredibly exciting time for the industry, and I would like to thank our investors Andreessen Horowitz, Intel Capital, Ubiquity Ventures, and our individual investors for believing in Eclypsium. In the next few paragraphs I’ll try to quickly explain what is driving us on this journey.

Hardware and firmware-level attacks that live below the level of the operating system are a glaring blind spot that is reshaping enterprise security. For the entire history of modern information security, the battle has largely been waged from the operating system up. Antivirus software and malware continuously battle for control of the host OS, and when an infection is suspected, the common response is to simply reimage the machine. This approach is blind to vulnerabilities in firmware or hardware, which live below the level of the OS and fails both at protection and remediation of an actual attack.

The main motherboard, network cards, management controllers, storage devices and dozens of other components at the heart of our devices all rely on firmware developed by different manufacturers and can be compromised. This is true for any type of device and OS ranging from laptops to the servers that run our applications in enterprise, to the network appliances that operate our network infrastructure, to industrial systems that operate our critical infrastructure. It is a large attack surface and devices can be backdoored in the supply chain before you ever pull it out of the box.

Most organizations don’t have the inhouse expertise to find vulnerabilities or firmware backdoors and implants. Worse still, most firmware is rarely updated and upgrades are often manual and tricky procedures. So if an attacker can compromise the firmware on the device, he is often beyond the reach of traditional security. He often will have fundamental control over the device and its data while remaining invisible and persistent enough to survive even a complete OS reinstall. The recent DHS alert of state-sponsored attacks targeting enterprise network infrastructure show that these threats have become mainstream and are an immediate issue for all enterprises.

And that is the point – these attacks are all about persistence. Unlike the countless variants of evolving malware, infrastructure-level attacks are about persistence of an advanced attack. They are more rare by nature than commodity malware, but they are likewise far more valuable to an attacker and costly to an organization.

This problem has been the central focus of my research from my days leading the Advanced Threat Research team at Intel to founding CHIPSEC, and has culminated in our work here at Eclypsium. We have built a new layer of security that defends an organization’s firmware and infrastructure and protects them from backdoors and implants. We detect devices that have vulnerable hardware or firmware, detect and isolate devices with implanted firmware, and protect your critical hardware from compromise or physical damage by an attack. We apply this approach both in the enterprise, in data centers, and within the hardware supply chain itself."

I have seen a brilliantly written article from Gilroy on page 4 the 16 November 1929 edition of The Clarksburg Exponent, Clarksburg West Virginia. The article urged new attitudes of kindness and love toward all racial groups. This article is as relevant today as it was in 1929. According to The American Missionary Volume 76, 1922, Gilroy took a tour of the South to get acquainted with the works of the A.M.A. and came back a profound believer in its value. Gilroy's articles were obviously still being published in the late 1950s as seen in the links below.)1 2 3 4
  • Enos Hitchcock - quoted in an Economist article as having said "The free access which many young people have to romances, novels and plays has poisoned the mind and corrupted the morals of many a promising youth."; may be the Enos Hitchcock (1745–1803) who was a well-known minister (not sure of denomination) during the American Revolution mentioned here
  • John Hunt (b. 1812) - A missionary to Fiji. He was born in England and was one of the first Methodists. He went to the Fiji Island, which was cannibalistic. He was the first person to write down the Fijian language. He translated the New Testament from Greek into Fijian. He died of a disease while on the island of Fiji but not before converting the entire island to Christianity and ending the cannibalism and human sacrifice. There are many books written about him including Rowe, George Stringer. A Missionary Among Cannibals; or, the life of John Hunt who was eminently successful in converting the people of Fiji from cannibalism to Christianity. New York: Carlton & Porter, 1859.; McLean, Archibald. Epoch Makers of Modern Missions. New York, Chicago [etc.] Fleming H. Revell company, 1912. Source of the image.
