Hello :)

From memory, no.
DeepInstinct is an enterprise product, but resellers also sell it to individuals.
HP on the other hand is the only brand where they have a white label software from DeepInstinct which is Wolf Security.

HP SureSense/WolfSecurity offers DeepInstinct's machine learning engine, which from the results appears to be locked to a minimum detection sensitivity. the official version of DI offers cloud PUA in addition to machine learning as well as behavioural protection, both of which are not available in HP's offering.

Is there a home version of deep instinct that's not tied to HP? Thanks
@Shadowra is correct, but to expand... the enterprise version is available from reseller in US, Cyberforce Security, and other resellers depending on your location. Cost is reasonable about $45/year. I am using Di on my home-office win10. A little learning curve in getting it configured but a few folks here know it well, and I found Cyberforce support helpful too.

I did the same as you. about $45 too. It seems great so far - very light on resources - and, most importantly, and totally the oppositve of Cylance, it is very easy to undo false positives, restore files and whitelist them. Good av.

You can run only one. Your system is going to slow down with two security suites fighting for priority.
I thought that DI was an augmentation to an AV. It is meant to run on top a d AV like MS Defender?

DI is really meant to run in place of MS Defender. If you install a third party AV, MS Defender automatically turns itself off.
Actually you can choose wether you want to register Deep Instinct in security center and disable Microsoft Defender or you can run it alongside it without registering. It's pretty cool but not necessary. Deep Instinct will offer great protection without any other real-time security suite. Just combine it with a web-protection extension and/or secure DNS and you will be fine.

Ordered a Z Elite from HP to tear apart and I can safely say that Wolf Security cripples any system I see it on.
This machine was damn near completely unusable until I reimaged it.
Their agent is decent, but absolutely destroys system performa

Wolf Security was also installed on my HP computer. It has always patronized me. I then uninstalled it. Now the computer runs without problems.
