Symantec Project Hood: new name, old news
Symantec for more than a year has been developing a virtual security appliance for Intel's vPro platform.
The appliance will run isolated from the main operating system, allowing it to scan for security threats without any interruption from viruses and other malware.
In fact, it does exactly what vPro was designed to do: run
management software independent from the main operating system, allowing
IT administrators tighter control over the software.
The product wasn't known by any code name. So when Reuters dug up a "Project Hood" code name for some mysterious virtual security appliance, it failed to connect the dots.
Symantec was quick
to confirm that the only news here is a code name.
