El Cubo

Intelligence

Decisions, not signatures.

A signature describes an attack somebody already suffered. El Cubo judges the thing in front of it, on the box, and tells you why.

ms

Verdicts in milliseconds

A file is judged while it downloads. The person waiting never notices, unless the answer is no.

0

Bytes sent away to be judged

The models live on the box. Your traffic is not shipped to someone's cloud to get an opinion back.

1

Sentence per verdict

Every malicious verdict comes with a plain-language reason. Not a hash, not a code. A sentence.

Files

It reads the file, not the label.

Executables, documents, scripts and archives are taken apart and judged by what they would do, not by what they are called. A renamed installer, a document with a loader inside, a program signed by a certificate that no longer deserves trust: each gets a verdict and a reason.

Names

It knows a name that was made by a machine.

Malware invents its own domain names to find its masters. The names look random because they are. A model on the box recognises the shape of a generated name and refuses it, before any list could have heard of it.

Zero-days

Day zero looks like any other day.

A signature is a description of an attack that has already happened to someone. Until it is written, every firewall that depends on it is blind. El Cubo does not wait. A file, a name or a flow that nobody has catalogued is judged by what it is and what it would do, so the first victim of a new attack is not one of yours.

Beacons

It hears a machine calling home.

A compromised device checks in with its controller on a rhythm. A model watches the rhythm of every device's traffic, recognises a heartbeat that does not belong to a person, and puts that device in quarantine while the rest of the network carries on.

Learning

It gets better on its own.

Signed model releases reach every box automatically. A box that is cut off from the world keeps deciding with the models it has, and takes a new release from a file when one is brought to it. The intelligence never depends on a connection to somebody else's data centre.

The attacker has AI.
Now the router does too.
