Unhackable version of Windows being developed

that they have created a version of Windows that “randomises all the memory” for specific Windows applications.

That's all well and good - but if it's not for all of them then there will still be a potentially open attack vector...
 
Will not be possible. If they want compatibility with common Windows apps, then they will have some security hole.

Best to throw that baggage away and focus on a totally new OS from scratch without the ability to run apps from other platforms... because that's the way security vulnerabilities can be introduced.

And while they're at it, why not code it to be default-deny?
 
question; what does the NSA computers run?

if its windows 10, then you have your answer right there; they "rebranded"it

or maybe they got a contract from the NSA/microsoft to build a secure version of win 10 for govt/security/PMC use;
might have even got the source code? so they plug all the gaps in windows;

isnt the first time the Yanks asked the Jews to write a software for them;

That is a policy concern, the onus will be placed on third-party developers. The implementation is to guard the system core and critical system applications.

The only possible way to secure an environment is a layered approach which is actually stated in the article.

MorphiSec uses a patented technology to provide an unbreakable security layer around core, mission-critical systems.

The company protects Windows against zero-day attacks, where an attacker exploits a security vulnerability which is still unknown to the vendor and has therefore not been fixed.

However, zero-day is zero-day, this will require multiple unique layers. This is possible with hardware (appliance approach), a costly exercise, but an application approach is questionable.

Then again, as already said in this thread, a physical breach can bypass any appliance and the application is always vulnerable to zero-day. Also to note, MorphiSec will need access to their security mechanism... that is a window.
 
Take it to Blackhat / Defcon and I am sure it will be hacked within the week.
 
virtually impossible <> unhackable

Clickbait heading should be hacked!
 
Anything a man creates a man can break.... and I mean ANYTHING
