The cybersecurity startup proactively detects threats based on the original malware family by successfully mapping the malware genome.
On October 6, 2016, ROMAD Cyber Systems is participating in Security Current’s next Security Shark Tank event in Cupertino, CA, a new addition to the Security Shark Tank signature series. ROMAD Cyber Systems is introducing its TrueProactive™ Threat Disruption platform, based on the company’s patented malware genetics technology. ROMAD is highlighting its unique approach to protecting against cyber attacks, which enables the company’s technology to disrupt entire categories of threats ahead of a breach. Security Shark Tank is a platform for security, privacy and risk executives around the world to improve how they collaborate in order to protect their organizations and their information.
Igor Volovich, CEO, ROMAD Cyber Systems, will be unveiling the company’s technology, which proactively detects and disrupts threats by targeting entire malware families, effectively eradicating the vast majority of malware before it reaches its target. By eliminating threats at the source, ROMAD is raising the costs for adversaries to wage an attack, and is disrupting the malware value chain on a global scale.
Mapping the malware genome - instead of chasing individual variants - allows ROMAD-powered solutions to reliably identify behavioral characteristics of malicious software as it attempts to execute, blocking only the attempted offensive action without impact to the system or benign processes. ROMAD’s technology does not depend on computationally expensive and often unreliable file-based analytics, prohibitively large cloud-based datasets, massive volume of threat intelligence data, or probabilistic mathematical models focusing only on the exterior attributes of inbound threats.
In the age of instant compromise and immediate monetization by cyber criminals, ROMAD eliminates the inherent lag between attack and eradication by targeting an entire malware family’s immutable genetic profile. This approach actively disrupts attackers’ compromise and monetization efforts, decisively impacting the criminal value chain. ROMAD helps security teams reduce the malware noise and focus on the complex threats that actually need their attention. ROMAD was built to disrupt – both in how cyber criminals act and the way the defenders react.
About ROMAD Cyber Systems:
ROMAD was built for one purpose: to eradicate the global malware epidemic. We set out to find a better way to deal with the root cause, rather than the mere symptoms of the problem. Our patented malware genetics technology allows ROMAD-powered solutions to reliably and sustainably disrupt entire threat categories, instead of endlessly chasing after the latest variants to sample and analyze. Our unique capability enables us to detect emerging threats before they exist. Ahead of the threat. Before the compromise. Turning 0-day into just an ordinary day. ROMAD makes it possible.
