CodeArmor Intelligence Key Capabilities

  • Turnkey Threat Detection and Reporting - Provides an easy process to implement threat detection and reporting functions within software applications and includes the backend reporting infrastructure to lower implementation complexity and cost.
  • Flexible threat detection - Provides configurable tamper detection for application executables and DLL files as well as an interface for triggering reporting based on threats that the application itself can detect.
  • Configurable data collection - Once triggered, the reporting function can collect environment information and specifics about the threat encountered to help identify the individual or organization operating the software.

  • Software Development Kit (SDK) - Provides a flexible programming interface and utilities to enable software providers to embed threat detection, data collection, and reporting functions within application software.
  • Web Gateway - A Java Servlet application that is deployed in the software provider’s network and receives data from the CodeArmor Intelligence instrumented applications, processes it, extends the information, and securely post the data to provider's instance of Salesforce.com. The data is also stored in a XML data file to support integration with internal reporting systems.
  • CodeArmor Intelligence plug-in for Salesforce.com - A plug-in that enables software providers to organize collected infringement data into a format that can easily be filtered, reported, and managed. The plug-in provides initial workflow and notification rules as well as a piracy lead dashboard. Because the data is available through the Salesforce.com web interface; legal, product management, sales, and other compliance representatives within the software providers organization can easily access and export the data. Alternatively, the Salesforce.com APIs and partner infrastructure allow information to be directly integrated with internal CRM systems (e.g., Seibel, SAP, Oracle).
