Helios — The Transformation
Some of their statements made on their website are very revealing, and sound like game changers:
From Reactive to Proactive
The old Helios hardened your system and hoped for the best. That era is over. The new Helios hunts threats before they land, kills exfiltration before it starts, and undoes damage before you notice it.
The security industry reacts. We prevent.
The Firewall
That Thinks
Not a port blocker. Not a rule list. A decision engine that understands trust at a molecular level. Every process gets interrogated. Every connection gets judged. Nothing leaves your machine without earning the right.
600
600 indicators.
The firewall analyses each process across 600 distinct trust indicators — file provenance, signature chains, behavioural patterns, parent lineage, reputation signals — organised into 27 compound heuristic groups. It doesn't just look at what a process is. It understands what a process means.
600trust indicators per process
Wait — What Are Heuristics?
In plain English: heuristics are educated guesses backed by evidence. Instead of matching a known threat from a list (which only catches yesterday's attacks), heuristic analysis looks at how something behaves and scores it. Think of it like a border agent who doesn't just check passports — they read body language, notice inconsistencies, and flag suspicious patterns. That's what our 27 heuristic groups do to every process on your machine.
Connection reputation.
Every outbound connection is scored using our own proprietary heuristics plus intelligence feeds from the big dogs. Unknown server in a suspicious ASN trying to phone home? Blocked. Signed Microsoft binary reaching its known update endpoint? Cleared instantly. The result? Exfiltration doesn't happen.
The result?
Potential for data exfiltration — eliminated.
Three Engines.
Zero Mercy.
Cloud reputation is powerful but it's not enough. We're deploying three local antivirus engines — each with a different philosophy, each deadly on its own. Together with Nano Power and the cloud engine? Nothing survives.
Codename
Graphite
The softcore engine. Light, fast, low friction. Catches the obvious and the near-obvious with surgical precision. Minimal false positives.
Codename
Diamond
The balanced powerhouse. Harder than Graphite. Cuts deeper. The most precious engine — where precision meets aggression. The sweet spot.
Codename
Obsidian
Maximum aggression. Zero tolerance. Obsidian digs deeper than anything else in the stack — every heuristic cranked to the edge, every threshold lowered, every suspicion acted on. It doesn't assume guilt. It just doesn't give the benefit of the doubt. When the situation calls for scorched earth — this is it.
Behavioral monitoring, tracking, and correlation. Not just watching — understanding. And when something crosses the line, we don't just stop it. We roll it back.
Behavioral correlation.
If a process behaves suspiciously — memory injection, privilege escalation, unusual file access patterns — Helios correlates the behavior chain and undoes most of its actions. Dropped files? Gone. Registry changes? Reversed. Connections? Severed.
Connection-aware blocking.
If we don't like the connections that cuteKitty.exe makes — every file, it dropped gets blocked. Every process it spawned gets terminated. The entire chain of compromise, dissolved.
