DriveWare is unique in that it is malicious-activity-centric. Its focus is on blocking malicious activities of malware while maintaining ongoing system functionality. DriveWare is unique in that it operates in the drive-space, e.g. IO.SYS and ATAPI.SYS filter driver. In the (SATA) low layer, malware is limited in its ability to hide, maneuver or manipulate the system. Regardless of how sophisticated malware can be in the high layers (e.g. network / application), due to protocol standards, malware activity is simplified in the SATA layer, where DriveWare identifies and blocks it.
