Our Solution
Passive Defense
Deceptive Bytes uses 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, the solution makes viruses believe they’re in a sandbox/virtual machine (VM) that are used to detect and analyze them.
Proactive Defense
If viruses don’t check the environment before they attack or they don’t care about it, the solution stops them by giving
the impression that their attack was successful even though it was already prevented and the endpoint remains intact.
For example, the solution deceives and stops Ransomware that operates immediately, making it believe it succeeded encrypting the files as the solution safeguard them.
Behavioral Defense
Deceptive Bytes identifies legitimate processes being used for malicious operations and
prevents them before any damage is done.
For example, the solution will stop execution of powershell/command line initiated by word or excel files
used by attackers to download payloads prior to their malicious execution.
