I'm interested in what Bromium has been working on. I don't understand how this will affect computer security. Will this reduce the number of exploitable vulnerabilities in common operating systems? Will the only path in be to exploit the VM itself? BlurbMarketing blurb from theirBromium's website below.

"Bromium vSentry transforms information and infrastructure protection with a revolutionary new architecture that isolates and defeats advanced threats targeting the corporate endpoint through web, email and documents. vSentry protects desktops without requiring patches or updates, defeating and automatically discarding malware, and eliminating costly remediation.

Traditional security solutions rely on detection and hence fail to block targeted attacks which often use zero day exploits. Bromium uses hardware level isolation to stop even “undetectable” attacks without disrupting the user.

How will microvirtualisation change the security field, if at all?
