AMEOT is Change - Embrace a New Era in Cybersecurity

It’s time to rethink security. Don’t be misled by providers who think threat hunting is proactive. Selling threat hunting as proactive action is the same as claiming that looking for unreported car crashes is a proactive means of decreasing the number of car crashes. It doesn’t make sense. They use the term proactive as a gimmick. Anytime you are looking to stop something that is already present, you are late! You can't be proactive if you are the last one to the party.

Outside of AMEOT, cybersecurity solutions as an industry have been running on the same methods as traditional law enforcement: respond to the infraction (detection), identify the criminal (threat), state the charges (threat vector), and remedy the situation (try to undo the damages). When law enforcement sets up something to lure criminals into a controlled space to catch them before any crime can be committed, it’s called entrapment. This is generally frowned upon because now a person is punished and branded as a criminal though no real crime has been committed.

But what if we could use a form of entrapment to prevent crimes rather than to prosecute would-be offenders? Imagine stopping cybercriminals before they have a chance to strike by letting them think they are in your system, when, really, they are not. This is precisely how AMEOT operates.

Cybercriminals know that traditional security measures only detect them after the damage is done. According to a 2020 report by IBM, the average time to identify a breach was 207 days, with an additional 73 days to contain it. This means that cybercriminals often have over six months to inflict damage before being detected.

At AMEOT, we look for evolution. The more threats our customers encounter, the more items we isolate, the smarter and faster our intelligence grows, all while our customers remain safe. We don't wait for you to return exactly as you came before; we catch you the first time and while you evolve! Our proactive approach ensures that our clients don’t fall prey to new and emerging software-based threats.

Traditional cybersecurity solutions have significant limitations. For example, despite the use of backups, ransomware protection has continued to rise, with a 62% increase in 2021 compared to the previous year, according to a report by SonicWall. Simply put, backups don't stop ransomware attackers from stealing and selling your data. And while detection minimizes the overall scope of an attack, it still relies on the damage being done before any action can be taken.

Our technology has been installed on over 85 million devices with zero reported losses to ransomware. This impressive track record is due to our unique approach. We don't need to know what a threat is to stop it. If we recognize a known threat, we can choose to delete it before it runs by stopping it from being copied, downloaded, or installed in the first place. If we don't recognize it, we virtualize it and run it in isolation, ensuring it poses no threat to your systems and data.

Imagine if we could homogenize our society and spot offenders simply because they were different. AMEOT does that with traits on data, websites, and applications. We look for traits found in things we deem safe and build profiles. If something doesn't have those traits, we consider that suspect. Being suspicious isn't against any law, but to AMEOT, it means isolation. In isolation, threats are either proven innocent and released, proven guilty and deleted, or sentenced to an eternity in isolation. Meanwhile, our customers stop seeing the effects of cybercrime.

This approach has led to a significant reduction in spyware, malware, and ransom attacks for our clients, while for the rest of the world it has increased. For instance, a 2021 study by Cybersecurity Ventures predicted that ransomware damages would cost the world $20 billion by the end of 2021, up from $11.5 billion in 2019. By preventing unknown software from running in our customers’ computers, AMEOT saves its clients millions in potential losses and downtime.
