how can I make money off my ultimate security solution for servers GrapeGhost 04-16-2007

I want to sell a security solution that I have designed, it makes a server
completely immune to viruses, security vulnerabilities, hackers and it fixes
100% percent of the current security problems with windows operating systems.
I fully expect that in a few years every important server in the world will
be using some variation of my design.

This is not just my opinion, I have shared this design with my friends who
are network admins and IT professionals and they have spent weeks trying find
some flaw in my system. All of them agree, this is truely a awesome
security solution.

I am a computer geek and I don't know the first thing about business, now
that I have a awesome security solution, I don't know what to do with it. I
only know that I want to make some serious money. If someone can help me
cash-in on this, I would gladly share some of the profits.

I have been working as an IT specialist and a government contractor for 12
years. In my free time I have designed a bullet-proof solution that makes a
windows server completely unhackable. This solution uses off-the-shelf
software and will run on any modern system.

Just imagine how much money the federal government could save by never
having to patch servers, purchase anti-virus, or maintain servers in any way
ever again. My design basically turns a windows server into a network
appliance.


Thanks!

You can do one of several things

1. Go to venture capitalists and try to convince them to give you money
to set up a real live corporation and do the dev/marketing with that
money and company's sales staff.

2. You can set up a web site and sell the software as some sort of
shareware solution. If your solution really is this amazing, I expect
you will blow Winzip and thousands of other large applications that
started out this way.

3. You can go to a company that specializes in security or Windows
infrastructure apps and try to sell the idea to them. Get NDA agreements
signed with them when you show it off so they can't run off with your idea.

4. Go to Microsoft and sell the idea to them, it is there OS and you are
claiming that you can make it bullet proof where none of their billions
of R&D dollars can't.


Not to throw too much cold water on you, but I expect you don't have
what you think you have. You might have something but the likelihood or
odds of you having the panacea of Windows security isn't very promising
given the billions spent on R&D for it from so many different companies.
I know another guy who basically thought he had the answer to the
world's security issues well at least a smaller part than you say you
have an answer to and here we are a couple of years later and he still
hasn't put anything useful out the door.

Regardless, good luck.

The problem is that you have to balance security with usability. It's
possible to make a 100% secure system which passively defends against
attacks originating online, local user elevation, and physical attacks.

All you need is a little concrete.

In general one will find that options 3 and 4 are not practical, as
one will not find companies willing to place in jeopardy what
they may or may not already have thought of and/or underway by
granting what is effectively a blanket NDA to cover what they
have not yet seen. One might be able to get a company to talk
but I blieve it usually does not play out that way.

Patent it. If it does as you think, you should secure your
interest in it before risking loss of your rights.

I am skeptical of the claim in your first statement
"fixes 100% of the current security problems"
as in my experience a high percentage of these are actually
human errors on the part of those administering the systems.
