Closing the Malware Detection Gap

Rapid & Continuous Scanning
‍Crytica’s Probes use minimal system resources. They can run concurrently with full system operation and not negatively impact system performance. They are tiny (measured in kilobytes not megabytes), fast, and efficient. The Linux version of the probe has a footprint of under 80 KB. It can scan a system of a million files in under 20 seconds. Small size, rapid speed, and minimum resource use means that a Crytica Probe can operate continuously and repeatedly in its environment. In contrast, most other malware detectors must run only at prespecified times, typically during system quiescence.

Ability to detect the previously undetectable Most malware detection systems rely upon "history" and previously identified attacks to detect an attack. Crytica's detection algorithm does not rely upon history, and so it can detect the previously undetectable.

The Crytica detection algorithm is deterministic, not probabilistic. It is not plagued with the vagaries of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and heuristic algorithms. Therefore, Crytica’s Zero-Detection™ has no false positives. When Crytica issues an alert, there is a concrete reason for it.

Crytica’s Detection Engine seamlessly integrates with existing current anti-malware systems to provide timely “detected anomaly” data. The results of this integration include:

Crytica has the ability absorb the inevitable attacks upon it. Unlike traditional malware defenses which, when compromised constitute a “single-point catastrophic failure”, Crytica is designed to be resilient to attacks. Its resiliency features include:

Many Cybersecurity tools are designed to operate within version-specific OS environments. Crytica operates at a generic, flexible application level. The same version of Crytica's code can operate within almost all specific OS distros and versions. Running at the application level supports a high degree of tolerance for OS changes and updates.

Whereas it is difficult for many malware detectors to adapt to, or have versions for, very diverse operating environments, such as within small IoT devices, Crytica’s extremely tiny and efficient probes can be readily adapted to almost any environment, even those as constrained as many IoT devices.

Why is the Sine Qua Non of Detection Engines

There is currently no cybersecurity product on the market that has the speed, efficacy, and resiliency of Crytica’s Zero-Day Detection™. Despite the marketing claims of many vendors, the indisputable statistics, going back for at least six years, show that, even with fully deployed, top-of-the-line, malware detection systems, the average time to detect a malware injection is greater than six months. That is an unconscionably long period of time. In head-to-head demos, Crytica consistently detects malware that others do not and cannot.

“If you can’t detect, you can’t protect™”. Crytica’s Zero-Day Detection™ can detect so that you can protect. That is why Crytica is a must have as part of every cybersecurity stack. That is why Crytica is the sine qua non detection engine for all cybersecurity systems.
