Introduction and Overview

Overview: HeartSuite Core Secure enforces a default-deny policy — only explicitly approved programs can execute, access files, or make network connections. Any program not on the allowlist, including malware, is blocked at the kernel level before it can execute. The Dashboard guides you through a 7-phase journey from installation to Secure Mode, always showing your current progress and the suggested next step.
