🌐 Let's Innovate Together: Building a Digital World That is Safe and Secure for People and Enterprises! 🛡️
For nearly three decades, Mr. Ahmed Sallam, founder of DeepSAFE Technology®, has advanced virtualization technologies across every system layer — from hardware and firmware to hypervisors, operating systems, and AI infrastructure. His pioneering contributions have redefined how modern systems isolate, protect, and perform in both enterprise and consumer environments.
Mr. Sallam co-architected security-enhanced extensions to VMware’s virtualization layer, introducing CPU-, memory-, and file-system–level monitoring, control, and introspection — innovations that became the foundation for today’s trusted virtual machine introspection and containment technologies.
At Intel and McAfee, he invented and led the development of DeepSAFE™ technology, embedding protection directly below the operating system within Intel architecture. This included creating a custom-built micro-visor for the Windows kernel, capable of isolating and preventing kernel-level attacks even in compromised systems. His innovations in hardware-level extensions for hypervisor protection revolutionized how modern infrastructures defend against rootkits, bootkits, and kernel-mode threats, setting a new standard for below-OS integrity enforcement.
His discovery of hardware-level decelerations in Intel microcode further accelerated the evolution of scalable Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) virtualization — influencing global standards for secure, cloud-based compute environments.
At Citrix, Mr. Sallam initiated and led technology unification across virtualized devices, apps, and desktops — leading to the full implementation of Citrix XenClient, a type-1 hypervisor with full client I/O support and nested micro-visors such as McAfee Deep Defender and Bromium Browser micro-visors on Xen-based architectures.
Through these innovations, Mr. Sallam’s work has reshaped the global virtualization landscape, enhancing security, protection, efficiency, and scalability across industries. His vision directly led to the creation of the DEEPSAFE™ Platform — a fusion of virtualization, AI, and cognitive protection that delivers real-time awareness, self-defending resilience, and human-aligned design from chip to cloud.

In a world of escalating cyber sophistication, Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) has become essential to protecting modern digital ecosystems. At DeepSAFE Technology®, we pioneered the integration of hardware-assisted virtualization, below-OS isolation, and AI-driven behavioral protection — forming the foundation for resilient, self-defending systems.
Through the DEEPSAFE™ Framework, VBS extends beyond traditional containment — embedding safety, privacy, and ethical intelligence directly into the virtual infrastructure. Core Layers of DEEPSAFE™ Virtualization-Based Security:
1️⃣ Hardware-Level Defense: Secure Foundations in Silicon
Security begins where visibility is hardest — below the operating system.
DeepSAFE integrates Intel VT-x, AMD-V, and ARM virtualization extensions with cryptographic Roots of Trust, enabling verifiable integrity from chip to cloud. Combined with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Secure Boot protocols, this layer ensures every virtualized environment operates on a proven, tamper-resistant foundation.
2️⃣ Firmware-Level Protection: Trust Before the OS Loads
Firmware is the first battleground of security — and one of the most exploited. DeepSAFE deploys firmware introspection, UEFI Secure Boot, and runtime encryption to monitor, isolate, and verify the trustworthiness of each firmware component before higher-level systems initialize. This ensures continuity of trust from hardware initialization to operating system handoff.
3️⃣ Hypervisor and OS Isolation: Virtual Machines with Forensic Insight
At the core of DeepSAFE innovation is the micro-visor — a lightweight, below-OS introspection layer engineered to monitor CPU states, kernel memory, and system calls without interference. This architecture prevents rootkits, bootkits, and kernel-level exploits by enforcing privileged isolation and runtime attestation, even when the host OS is compromised.
4️⃣ Application and Workload Segmentation
We implement secure virtual containers and sandboxed environments that separate privileged processes from user-space operations. This segmentation prevents lateral movement, ensuring that even if one application is compromised, others remain fully protected. Through AI-driven anomaly detection, DeepSAFE continuously monitors execution patterns to flag malicious behavior before it escalates.
Credential Guard and Device Guard — Isolate credentials and enforce code integrity so only verified applications execute.
Virtual Secure Mode (VSM) — Create trusted enclaves for sensitive computations, cryptographic operations, and AI model inference.
Measured Boot and Attestation — Validate every stage of the startup chain, confirming system integrity before any component is trusted.
Below-OS Forensics and Recovery — Enable secure diagnostics, rollback, and restoration without depending on a compromised OS.
Each VBS element operates within the Six Pillars of DEEPSAFE™ — delivering multi-layered protection that bridges cybersecurity, cognitive safety, and autonomous resilience.
DeepSAFE™ VBS isn’t just about technical isolation — it’s a reflection of our core values:
Secure/Safe: Defense begins below the OS, ensuring integrity at every layer.
Autonomous: Systems self-diagnose, recover, and adapt in real time.
Futuristic: Designed for the AI-driven era, anticipating new vectors and threat models.
Ethical: Built transparently and responsibly, safeguarding user trust and privacy.
Through Virtualization-Based Security, we ensure that virtual environments are not just efficient — they are intelligent, ethical, and inherently safe. This is how DeepSAFE Technology® continues to redefine the future of trusted computing: from firmware to AI, from isolation to integrity.
Virtualization-Based Security is not an isolated layer — it’s the foundation upon which the DEEPSAFE™ Six Pillars Model operates. Each VBS component—hardware trust, firmware integrity, kernel isolation, behavioral analytics, and self-healing resilience—maps directly to the Six Pillars of DEEPSAFE™: Hardware-Assisted Defense, Below-OS Safety, High-Integrity Computing, Proactive Behavioral Protection, Dynamic Trust Boundaries, and Autonomous Self-Protection.
