Firethorn™ uses revolutionary side-channel analysis and machine learning to detect ransomware in milliseconds
How it worksRead the Performance Whitepaper
Firethorn doesn't watch files or look for known signatures. Instead, it analyzes physical side-effects that ransomware produce at the hardware level.
When ransomware encrypts files, it creates distinctive patterns in hardware telemetry that can't be masked or evaded:
These hardware-level artifacts exist because of the fundamental mathematics of encryption. They can't be hidden without making the ransomware non-functional
Firethorn detects the physics of ransomware, not just the signature based behavior of malware.
Our patented approach combines real-time hardware performance counters across multiple architectures with trained ML models to identity ransomware activity.
Because we're analyzing hardware signatures rather than software behaviors, we can drill deep into common ransomware and detect zero-days that are not based on signatures or application level behaviorial rules.
Detection happens with near-zero CPU overhead.
Firethorn's detection capabilities are well-developed and undergoing continuous refinement with select partners. Our core technology has proven its effectiveness — now we're perfecting the full product experience.
As we perfect this core functionality, our focus shifts to the next phase: implementing mitigation and response techniques. These additions will transform Firethorn into an all-in-one, fully autonomous solution designed to thwart ransomware attacks. Even with these advancements, Firethorn remains the lightest and most efficient platform on the market.
While Firethorn is not yet commercially available, we're actively working toward production release. Organizations interested in early access or partnership opportunities are encouraged to reach out.
