It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Cynet is an American cybersecurity company for businesses.
It offers an anti-malware solution based on machine learning (NGAV), protection against attacks (JS/PowerShell, etc.), and EDR.
In this video, we'll take a look at it and test it out.
Let's see!



Cynet cannot be rated because the program does not offer an interface. It is an agent that is entirely controlled by the online dashboard.
Overall, the product performs well. Detections are good, effective, and above all, it defends itself well.
I am quite surprised that Cynet does not offer any analysis, apart from a full scan by right-clicking on the agent icon, but does not indicate what it is doing.

In terms of defense, Cynet performs well and has successfully resisted several attacks.
Unfortunately, the machine is infected, Cynet has a lot of trouble stopping certain attack techniques (you can see KVRT reporting that a process in memory is infected) and does not quarantine, but only renames the infection.

Overall, it is effective, but it is not my favorite product...

I wonder how it would compare to the current version of Deep Instinct?

How is Skynet resource load and usage? PC responsiveness (uninfected)?

Quite light on the PC's performance.

The PC can be disinfected; many scripts have been detected and there are a few remnants of infection (the process in memory comes from a script).
 
I never heard of this name. At first I thought it's related to Cyren but it's not after googling.
It's been kicking around for years. It was originally awarded a DHS S&T innovation of the year award and I think that was 2015? Then they got bought by BlackBerry; most of their original staff quit etc etc etc
 
This is the first Skynet I've known since childhood. Early days of AI
