Solving the hacking problem

To avoid hacking and malicious alteration of the application, software companies are turning to new anti-tamper solutions that will protect the entire application, as well as maintain code integrity.

As software hackers adopt new and sophisticated methods of breaking code and stealing software, Independent Software Companies (ISVs) are scrambling to stay one step ahead of thieves in order to protect their intellectual property. Today, that is getting harder to do.

It is certainly more complex as traditional anti-hacking defenses are becoming largely ineffective against more sophisticated tampering tactics. In fact, hackers have become so good at what they do that Nintendo recently reportedly lost $975 million due to piracy. Microsoft also estimated that it lost $900 million in five years when a Taiwan company started to pirate 21 titles, selling them in 22 countries.
