Enterprise Endpoint Security
Real-time process injection and instant blocking via C++ DLL injection. Low-level Windows hooks deliver <1ms response time - nearly impossible to bypass.
Enterprise-Grade Windows Security
A comprehensive Windows security platform that provides granular control over system-level restrictions through C++ DLL injection and a modern cross-platform UI. Vertex allows administrators to enforce security policies with zero-latency blocking via low-level Windows hooks.
Performance Comparison:
AutoHotkey v1: 50-100ms response time, easily bypassed
C++ DLL v2: <1ms response time, nearly impossible to bypass
- Real-time WMI process monitoring with instant app blocking
- Hot-reload configuration - changes apply within 5 seconds
- MessageBox alerts for all restrictions (throttled every 2s)
