An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
In the seemingly endless quest to keep up with an ever-changing cyberthreat landscape, Nyotron has taken an optimist’s path to securing endpoints against attacks: understanding exactly how valid end-user behaviors work, and only allowing these approved actions to occur with their solution.
“We’re not a gateway, and we don’t research attacks or threat techniques, which is a negative security model,” said Nir Gaist, CTO of Nyotron. “Positive security means we define ‘what’s good,’ and at a system-call level there are a finite number of legitimate actions and processes in an OS.”
The company’s Paranoid solution offers agent-based security embedded into Windows OS and other devices (Linux coming soon) for detecting and remediating irregular or unknown threats, and a control-room style security console for an enterprise-wide view of vulnerabilities and adherence to approved workflows.
