I don't know much about this capability -- in fact I heard of it for the first time yesterday.

PARANOID - OS Centric Positive Security Solution | Nyotron
PARANOID—the first-ever OS Centric Positive Security solution—provides infallible endpoint protection. Reach us now for more.

Go Ahead, Get Paranoid: Rethinking Endpoint Security - Journal of Cyber Policy
In Dr. No, James Bond is about to leave his hotel room for some martinis (shaken, not stirred!) but he wants to make sure that no one peeks inside Her Majesty’s secret briefcase, which he leaves in the room. Being that it’s 1962, his best option is to sprinkle some fingerprint powder on the...
