Wave’s solution: start with the device

The Wave alternative [2] relies not on superficial layers of software but on standards-based hardware: self-encrypting drives (SEDs) and Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), security chips that are already embedded in many of your devices. When you turn them on and manage them with Wave software you suddenly have a broad, deep view into the devices on your network. Among other things, you’ll know immediately whether any one of your devices—desktops, laptops, tablets—has been tampered with. But Wave is proactive too: you can block the kinds of behaviors that invite malware in. Wave Endpoint Monitor [3] provides early detection for attacks originating in the low level stack of your devices.
