Notice of RTX64 Compatibility with Windows Security Features
IntervalZero understands that Industry 4.0 will transform the ways that machines and machine controllers are architected. Industry 4.0 seeks to disrupt manufacturing by implementing digital strategies that optimize production through collecting data, converting it to actionable insights and then having the factory adapt based on each insight. Success can be achieved by integrating and networking the machines in the factory together and to the cloud. However, networking machines to answer the call for Industry 4.0 functionality and benefits opens the door to increased security risks.
Ensuring that more robust security features are available mitigates that heightened risk. Microsoft invests heavily to offer world-class security to its customers. As part of their company’s value statement, Microsoft recognizes the privacy and security are their users fundamental right. Microsoft commits to their security by employing 3,500 security professionals and guaranteeing 24/7 defense operation to secure all data for each customer.
RTX64 transforms Microsoft Windows into a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)and the RTX64 architecture can benefit from the Microsoft security features without having to create much of its own security. Below are some key security features that RTX64 users can enjoy just from using RTX64 on Windows. Like Microsoft, IntervalZero is committed to ensuring world class security for all its users.
In the list below, we recognize that there are features that we cannot support since they require a hypervisor. From an architectural standpoint, the design philosophy behind RTX64 is that virtualization introduces jitter and latency so RTX64 avoids the use of virtualization in its architecture.
In summary, by capitalizing on Microsoft’s security features, RTX64 makes a significant contribution toward delivering on the promise of Industry 4.0 by relying on Microsoft’s security. Please read the list of key features that RTX64 supports below, and as always, get in touch with any questions.
