Our Solution
Passive-Defense
We use the same defenses and techniques viruses use against them, deceiving them into
believing they’re in a hostile or unattractive environment to attack…
For example, we make viruses believe they’re in a sandbox/virtual machine (VM) that are used to detect and analyze them...
Proactive-Defense
If viruses try to operate in our defensive environment, we’ll stop them by giving them the impression that their attack was successful even though we already thwarted it and the machine remains intact!
Prevents unknown and sophisticated threats
Very high prevention and detection rates
Real time detection & response
System-wide protection with pinpoint handling
Deploys in seconds & Easy to manage
Low resource consumption (CPU, memory & disk)
NO constant updates
Can operate as stand-alone
Can stop millions of viruses using only 1 evasion technique
High stability - operates in User-mode
Low to non-existing false positive rate
