There’s a new solution for cyber security threats in “edge territory” – the locations outside the perimeter of the network or on attached devices that other solutions can’t see – including the many IoT devices that now occupy homes, businesses, and government networks.
It’s called guardDog.AI, and it can stop cyberattacks in under two milliseconds.
guardDog.ai is rapidly gaining ground in the U.S. and worldwide thanks to its Autonomous Incident Response (AiR) technology, which uses artificial intelligence to detect cyber threats and instantly shut attacks down.
The company is also one of the newest winners of the ‘ASTORS’ Awards, premiering in 2021 as a winner in all three categories the company was nominated in: “Best Cyber Analytics Solution,” “Best Threat Intelligence Solution” and “Best Vulnerability Management Solution.”
In wired and Wi-Fi networks, guardDog.ai protects against threats in edge territory – the software service uses its Autonomous Incident Response (AIR) technology to automatically detect and respond to threats and recognize vulnerabilities that can be addressed before they can be exploited.
guardDog.ai accomplishes its work through a continuous cloud-based service that stays up to date on all the latest threats, such as ransomware, man-in-the-middle attacks, denial of service, and emerging novel threats, to protect networks and the devices attached to them.
The company’s “Fido” technology is currently delivered as a network overlay device users can simply plugin for an automatic connection to guardDog.ai Protective Cloud Services (PCS) to see and counteract suspicious attempts to enter the network with AiR technology.
With this protection in place, bad actors can be thwarted automatically before they can compromise privacy and security. IT providers and technology dealers can proactively protect their clients’ valuable assets across their entire network grid with guardDog.ai.
As part of the guardDog.ai program, registered dealers and MSSPs can become certified cybersecurity experts through the guardDog.ai integrator certification training program.
“After multiple years of testing and refining guardDog’s technology in private industry sectors, we are extremely proud to be increasingly invited to step up to the plate to protect some of the most important networks of all – the U.S. government agencies that protect our national resources and the security of our nation,” explains company founder and CEO Peter Bookman.
“Our greatest rewards are the ones we see every day on the live map that shows and counts the entry attempts the technology is thwarting all over the world.”
Simply stated, guardDog.ai uses patent-pending technology powered by machine learning and AI to pre-emptively recognize, expose, and shut down cybersecurity threats before an attack can happen.
The company’s software cloud service works together with Fido technology that is housed in a companion network device to protect networks and the devices attached to them by stopping and mitigating ransomware, man-in-the-middle attacks, and denial of service attacks.
Since the system is perpetually learning, it is continually updating its ability to engage with emerging novel threats, even before they are formally known.
A Trail-Blazing Innovation
guardDog.ai has developed a cloud-based software service with a companion device that work together to simplify network security.
The solution exposes invisible threats on networks in ‘edge territory,’ and the devices attached to them, with patented technology to address and prevent cybersecurity threats before they compromise network environments.
Available globally, guardDog.ai uses AI-driven network overlay technology to find and protect against attempted cyberattacks, fast.
The guardDog.ai Fido device and accompanying Protective Cloud Services make it possible for consumers, small business owners, and large enterprises to mitigate threats to their growing array of networked devices without having to hire dedicated IT support.
From the moment users plug their Fido device in, their network and devices are protected by guardDog.ai. Attacks are stopped, vulnerabilities exposed, and threats prioritized. Protection is easy and automatic.
The three most important functional features of guardDog.ai are as follows:
1. Coverage for “edge territory.”
-
guardDog.ai makes it possible to detect and proactively thwart the cybersecurity risks that device management isn’t able to see – the threats in the edge territory that require an overlay that’s as simple as “plug and protect” for consumers and businesses.
2. Access to a cloud-based AI database.
-
guardDog.ai has developed a cloud-based software service with a companion device (or a software plug-in) that work together to simplify network security.
-
The solution exposes invisible threats on networks, and the devices attached to them, with patented technology to address and prevent cybersecurity threats before they compromise network environments.
-
It uses a cloud AI database to see and thwart attempted exploits before they can enter the network and succeed in planting viruses, phishware, or ransomware attempts.
3. The ability to thwart attempted exploits in less than two milliseconds.
-
Every business, government, healthcare institution, home consumer, or other organization, is grappling to find security solutions that are adapting to this changing world.
-
guardDog.ai is pioneering innovations that can truly meet these new and perpetual challenges.
As organizations face increased risks due to the explosion of cyber-attacks, new regulations and compliance pressures, and the difficulty of finding and retaining cyber security resources, guardDog.ai is developing solutions that can autonomously detect and respond to threats and vulnerabilities.
guardDog.ai is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a mission to expose invisible threats on networks in ‘edge territory.’
The company offers solutions for homes and small businesses, and for larger distributed organizations and government agencies with features for managing multiple locations, networks, remote employees, and more.
