Abatis® is an innovative endpoint cybersecurity software solution that protects nearly all operating systems. Developed as a military cybersecurity solution, Abatis was first deployed in 2005 to safeguard critical national infrastructure, government entities, and various high-integrity organisations. In 2022, the founder sold Abatis to a new organisation, which dedicated the following 18 months to enhancing the technology for a broader market. In January 2024, Abatis passed its final penetration tests and became available worldwide.
Abatis can stop malware and cyber-attacks in less than a millionth of a second on a standard PC, demonstrating that prevention is more effective than reaction. This proactive approach empowers users, which means they can trust that Abatis is constantly working to keep their systems safe. Unlike traditional 'detect and respond' models that react to threats after infiltrating a system, Abatis utilises advanced cyber engineering principles to prevent attacks proactively, giving users a sense of control over their system's security.
As a kernel-level (ring zero) filter technology, Abatis seamlessly integrates into the operating system's kernel, providing a robust defence against cyber threats. This robustness instils confidence, ensuring that Abatis can handle even the most sophisticated attacks. It operates independently of threat intelligence sharing, behavioural analysis, or heuristics, ensuring cyber sovereignty by keeping all data within the protected estate or operating system. This robustness gives users a sense of reassurance about their system's security.
Abatis effectively addresses the challenge of cadence patching, mitigating the risks associated with bad actors weaponising published CVE proofs of concept in under 10 hours. With a tiny footprint of less than 100 KB—comparable to a single sheet of A4 paper—Abatis presents a minimal attack surface compared to traditional solutions. Additionally, it has been shown to reduce energy consumption, decrease CPU cycles, and enhance network speed by over 50% compared to traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions.
Abatis protects against file-less attacks and blocks unauthorised software deployments that could compromise computer stability or drain valuable resources by preventing unauthorised code from entering an organisation's network. With Abatis, organisations gain a reliable, proactive cybersecurity solution that safeguards their critical systems against the evolving landscape of cyber threats.
