AI is making cyberattacks more sophisticated, creating situations where conventional detection-based security can no longer provide sufficient protection.
SHDOW LOCK™ does not perform detection. Instead, it builds an environment in which only authorized code can be executed, preventing damage from materializing even if an intrusion occurs.

How Conventional Security and SHDOW LOCK™ Operate
General Security
Which layer is it?
We have created a new layer:
“GHOST LAYER®”
“GHOST LAYER®”
- It does not detect malware, ransomware, or other threats, nor does it determine whether they are good or malicious. Unauthorized program files simply do not operate.
- By having privileges higher than the kernel, SHDOW LOCK™ prevents Windows Update from being executed without user authorization.
- After SHDOW LOCK™ is installed, update applications are not allowed to operate.
- Applications located outside designated storage folders are not allowed to operate.
- Applications are not allowed to change privileges, including privilege escalation.
- All applications on the PC, including the OS, are monitored.
- SHDOW LOCK™ protects the OS, and also protects itself.
- It enables continued use of Windows 10 within an even stronger security environment.

Ｑ１．
Do you recommend installation for general individual users?
Ａ１．
Yes, we do. However, SHDOW LOCK™ protects the entire system and allows only the programs and functions required by the user to run. Therefore, it is not suitable for games that progress by downloading programs on demand, or for environments used for software development.
Ｑ２．
If SHDOW LOCK™ is installed, is a firewall unnecessary?
Ａ２．
No. A firewall is still necessary. Please use existing functions for network-related security.
Ｑ３．
Where is SHDOW LOCK™ installed?
Ａ３．
It is installed on the SSD/HDD built into the computer.
Ｑ４．
What PC specifications are required to install SHDOW LOCK™?
Ａ４．
The requirements are as follows:
• Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)
• An Intel® CPU supporting Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT)
• SSD or HDD with at least 1 GB of free space
(SSD is preferred for performance reasons.)
(SSD is preferred for performance reasons.)
Ｑ５．
Which OS can SHDOW LOCK™ be installed on?
Ａ５．
The supported OS versions are as follows:
• Windows 10 version 1903 or later
• All versions of Windows 11
• Other OS environments are subject to separate consultation
Ｑ６．
What happens if SHDOW LOCK™ is installed while an attack program is already present on the SSD/HDD?
Ａ６．
SHDOW LOCK™ inspects and verifies all files on the SSD/HDD, but does not determine whether they are attack programs.
However, after inspecting and classifying each program based on its location, internal structure, and access privileges, SHDOW LOCK™ stops any program that violates the execution rules in protection mode.
Ｑ７．
How is SHDOW LOCK™ different from existing security solutions?
Ａ７．
It controls execution itself, rather than performing detection.
Ｑ８．
Can SHDOW LOCK™ respond to zero-day attacks?
Ａ８．
Even unknown code will not operate unless it matches the execution authorization conditions.
Ｑ９．
How does SHDOW LOCK™ address insider threats?
Ａ９．
Even if the user is a legitimate user, unauthorized code will not be executed.
Ｑ１０．
Can false positives occur?
Ａ１０．
Because SHDOW LOCK™ is not detection-based, the concept of a “false positive” does not apply.
Ｑ１１．
What is the relationship with existing systems?
Ａ１１．
SHDOW LOCK™ is complementary, not a replacement.
Ｑ１２．
What are the implementation risks?
Ａ１２．
Because SHDOW LOCK™ controls execution, phased deployment and verification are required.
Ｑ１３．
Can SHDOW LOCK™ support audit requirements?
Ａ１３．
Yes. Because the integrity of execution history is ensured, SHDOW LOCK™ contributes to strengthening audit capabilities.
