Case Study: Middle Eastern Government achieves application-aware runtime protection for critical systems with Virsec

Middle Eastern Government Achieves Application-Aware Workload Protection for Critical Systems

The Middle Eastern Government, a technology-forward nation facing a surge in persistent, targeted nation‑state attacks, was particularly vulnerable to advanced in‑memory “fileless” exploits that bypassed traditional security on hundreds of critical servers. To close this runtime blind spot, officials engaged Virsec and deployed the Virsec Security Platform to protect their critical application workloads.

Virsec implemented full‑stack, application‑aware runtime protection using its AppMap® technology to monitor and enforce correct execution at the web, host and memory layers, operating in process memory with no signatures, tuning, or learning required. After a Raytheon‑led proof‑of‑concept, the Virsec Security Platform detected and instantly stopped evasive memory‑based and zero‑day attacks, eliminated false positives and extraneous alerts, and delivered scalable, continuous protection and full visibility across the government’s critical workloads.
