System Safety Monitor (SSM) is a host intrusion prevention system software. SSM protect your systems from various malware and spyware programs by monitoring all running programs behavior and blocking malicious or suspicious actions. SSM provides protection against attacks that can bypass traditional firewalls, anti-virus, and other signature based security tools that can only deal with known threats. Malware and spyware programs basically use similar methods to do their job (though the implementation details may vary). SSM controls applications behavior and access attempts to the local system resources according to the rules set by the user. SSMs main task is to discover and block malicious actions of any application.
