Cyemptive: Circuit-breaker-speed preemption of attack persistence

An Intellyx RSAC 2026 Brief

Cyemptive logo Intellyx BCI didn’t expect to meet Cyemptive at RSAC 2026, but I was engaged by how their novel solution to threat elimination completely turns the usual process of ‘inspect-detect-respond’ on its head, with a circuit-breaker speed response time that instantly isolates the attacker in their own OS bubble with no production network connectivity.

Everyone knows zero-day threats are particularly hard to spot, but according to the firm’s global track and trace research of hostile infrastructure patterns, there are subtle behavioral signals of hacker or agent reconnaissance and control attempts that warrant a quick pre-emption to a harmless zone for investigation, away from legitimate user and service traffic. 

They launched a new “Umbrella Fortress” at the show that leverages these learnings as an external privacy-first external threat intelligence service that can help customers further preempt incoming attacks and set a compliant external security posture.
