Xcitium: Protecting against Undetected Malware by Eliminating Dwell Time

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Xcitium protects organizations from zero-day and other undetected malware attacks by leveraging AI to mitigate the effects of malware before it executes.

When malware is sophisticated enough to evade antivirus and other endpoint protections, it typically sits on the target network for some time before acting. We call this time dwell time.

Xcitium eliminates dwell time while also reducing the chance of false positives by identifying and sorting unknown presences on the network into benign, known malicious, and unknown categories. Xcitium then directs the small number of unknown entities to its human threat intel lab for analysis and possible mitigation.

Xcitium runs on Windows and Linux, with a MacOS version in the works. The product is a good fit for companies that need better malware protection than antivirus can provide but who don’t want to pay for enterprise-class endpoint detection and response (EDR).
