What kind of threats can DIANNA explain?

DIANNA provides real-time explainability for novel, zero-day threats, offering actionable insights into the attack's behavior and intent.

Is Deep Instinct compatible with our existing security tools?

Yes, it's designed to complement and enhance EDR and SIEM solutions, acting as an additional layer of proactive prevention.

Does the agentless deployment affect its detection capability?

The agentless architecture for cloud and NAS uses API/native integration for scanning, which provides visibility without endpoint installation but may have different control depth than an agent.

How does the deep learning model handle new, unknown malware families?

The model is trained to recognize fundamental malicious patterns and behaviors at a raw-data level, allowing it to generalize and identify threats it has never seen before based on learned abstract features.

What is the claimed performance for zero-day prevention?

Independent testing by Unit 221B reported a 99.78% prevention rate for unknown and custom malware attacks with zero false positives.

Deep Instinct DSX

Deep Instinct DSX is a preemptive cybersecurity platform that uses a proprietary deep learning framework to prevent zero-day and known threats across cloud storage, NAS, applications, and endpoints. It scans files at rest and in motion in real-time, stopping advanced malware and ransomware before execution. The platform includes the DSX Brain for proactive threat prevention and DIANNA (DSX Companion), a GenAI engine that provides real-time explainability of threats to enhance SOC efficiency. It is designed for enterprises needing to secure diverse data estates with a prevention-first, agentless approach.

Threat Prevention In Action | Carl Froggett

The Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is changing the way organizations approach cybersecurity by stopping unknown threats before they can land in your environment with the highest accuracy and lowest false positive rate in the industry. For your organization this means fewer alerts to chase, true prevention of ransomware and zero-day threats, and greater assurance that the attackers will not succeed. Play this video to hear about some of the use cases. https://www.deepinstinct.com/

Who uses it

Where it falls short

Primarily focused on prevention; may require complementary EDR for full response
Solution cost may be high for smaller organizations
Limited public technical documentation on deep learning model specifics

Technical limitations

Agentless approach may have limitations on certain endpoint actions
Effectiveness against highly obfuscated, fileless threats is less documented
Vendor lock-in risk with proprietary deep learning framework
