With a headline like that you can’t help but, to shake your head.

From Electronics Talk:

The Padded Cell Secure Hypervisor and its EAL6+ compliant security policies enable breakthroughs for many of the world’s long unresolved security problems

Green Hills Software has released the world’s first secure hypervisor. The Padded Cell Secure Hypervisor supports the widest range of computing platforms, from embedded devices to enterprise desktop and server systems. It runs on top of Green Hills Software’s Integrity separation kernel. ‘Many people believe that hypervisors are the solution to security problems’.

‘But existing hypervisors actually make security problems worse by providing another avenue for attack’, said Dan O’Dowd, founder and Chief Executive Officer, Green Hills Software.

‘Everybody has become accustomed to the fail-first, patch-later mentality adopted by the world’s largest software organisations and products’.

‘The fact is that it is possible to build totally secure, hacker-proof software upon which critical computing assets and resources can depend’.

‘Our introduction of Padded Cell Secure Hypervisor continues to demonstrate this by pushing the envelope of applications that can benefit from our proven approach to safety, security and reliability’.

You know, I wish them well in this endeavour. I really do. I just can’t forget the Oracle “unhackable” campaign or Microsoft’s “more secure than the popemobile” billboards when Windows 2000 came out. It’s like they’re taunting the hackers. And, they will invariably rise to the challenge and smite them.
