ArmorX AI develops RansomArmor, a kernel-native preemptive cybersecurity platform that intercepts ransomware and cyberattacks before execution using Indicators of Attack (IOA) behavioral detection at the kernel level (Ring 0, Altitude 47750). Unlike traditional EDR/XDR solutions that operate in user space and react after compromise, RansomArmor resides below most other kernel drivers, making it immune to BYOVD (Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver) attacks and capable of blocking threats in under one millisecond. Co-developed with the NSA through a CRADA partnership and validated as an NSF SBIR Phase I & II winner (top 3% of applicants), ArmorX AI's patented IOA interception architecture requires no signatures, no hashes, and no cloud connectivity — making it fully offline-capable and suitable for air-gapped OT, ICS, SCADA, and classified environments.
Ransomware is projected to cause $30B in global damages, with 54% of attacks originating from infostealer credentials and AI democratization enabling machine-speed attacks. Existing EDR/XDR tools operate in user space (Ring 3) and fire alerts 4–60 minutes after encryption has already begun, and are rendered blind by BYOVD attacks that terminate 300+ EDR processes at the kernel level before any response is possible.
RansomArmor is a kernel-resident driver operating at Altitude 47750 (Ring 0) that intercepts ransomware IOAs preemptively — before any file is modified — in under 1 millisecond. It uses a multi-threaded behavioral engine with zero cloud dependency, no signature or hash requirements, and is immune to BYOVD attacks, zero-days, and fileless/LOLBin techniques, delivering true prevention rather than detection-based response.
ArmorX AI is an NSA CRADA Research Partner with a patented IOA kernel interception architecture co-developed with the NSA. They are an NSF SBIR Phase I & II winner, placing in the top 3% of all NSF applicants. Efficacy has been verified at 90% with EDR by a Verizon Red Team.
