CHESS stands for Configurable Hardware Enforced Safety & Security. The CHESS platform developed by SecurWeave leverages virtualization extensions in the hardware and provides protection to systems from advanced threats of today. CHESS has two variants, CHESS-P and CHESS-E. CHESS-P is specifically designed for protection of systems from malware that has kernel mode attack vectors. CHESS-P is designed for protection of systems that host a single OS and does not have virtualized applications executing on the OS. CHESS-E targets emerging embedded systems where safe and secure coexistence of multiple Operating Systems are mandatory. Apart from the kernel mode protection features, CHESS-E also provides safety, mixed criticality and determinism.
