Humans have always wanted to know the future. Whether through oracles, tea leaves, knuckle bones, or tarot, trying to divine fate has been a constant endeavor throughout human history. Right now, the future seems clear—and the already Sisyphean task of protecting data in an ever-evolving threat landscape feels more like an exercise in preventing fate.
Except fate may be too strong a word—what you’re actually preventing is the outcome of a logical series of events culminating in the compromise of your data. Augury isn’t needed to see what’s coming next: advanced AI is being used to generate a higher volume of attacks at an accelerated pace and with an alarming degree of complexity. Cybercriminals are innovating at a speed that most cyber vendors can’t match. That leaves data vulnerable.
The Stacked Deck
Right now, the deck is stacked against defenders. The cards we have been dealt foretell calamity in one way or another—confusion, delay, and disaster. Legacy tools are ineffective, the buying process is bureaucratic and slow, and Dark AI is evolving faster than ever. Chaos abounds.
Past experience is no longer a guide either. Handcrafted attacks are dying out in favor of automation. AI has compressed the timeline of an attack: from the recon of potential targets to social engineering and malware creation, everything has been augmented, accelerated, and automated by dark forces (Dark AI tools) that enable bad actors to mobilize quickly and keep sustained pressure until they find an opening.
The tools we have traditionally trusted cannot keep our data safe. Signature-reliant systems are ineffective against rapidly mutating, AI-generated attacks, while new obfuscation methods have weakened heuristics. And, powered by AI, phishing tools have become so advanced that even trained professionals are routinely fooled. Without changing our approach to cybersecurity, organizations are fated to be breached. We are left asking when, not if.
Fighting Fate
In folklore, this would be the point at which the hero discovers a powerful talisman or mythical weapon that will allow them to fight their destiny. In tarot, a single card—or a combination of cards—can reveal a path that can change what seems predetermined. In cybersecurity, a similar paradigm shift is underway. While the threats ahead may seem foretold, new powers are emerging that can help organizations rewrite their security fate. This new approach is called preemptive data security, and right now, Deep Instinct holds two powerful cards you can play to avert catastrophe. These aren’t just tools, they’re talismans of transformation.
Preemptive data security solutions use advanced AI to detect and prevent threats before they can execute. They also equip security teams with critical information about prevented threats so that SOC teams can address vulnerabilities and complete investigations. Rather than reacting to attacks after they have commenced, preemptive solutions stop them before breach.
The Age of Dark AI
The rise of AI-powered attacks has rendered traditional reactive security relics of the past. When cybercriminals and hostile nation-state actors can generate thousands of unique malware variants in minutes, organizations need security that works at machine speed. This reality is driving rapid adoption of preemptive data security solutions—so much so that Gartner projects 100% of organizations will have some form of preemptive security capabilities by 2030. The prophecy has been written: adapt or be breached.
Data Security X (DSX) is Deep Instinct’s preemptive data security solution. DSX leverages the deep learning-powered DSX Brain, an entity unlike any other in cybersecurity, to detect and prevent unknown and zero-day threats with unparalleled accuracy and speed. Our deep learning framework is the only one in the world explicitly trained for cybersecurity. It recognizes malicious files without relying on signatures and without human-biased heuristics. Because it has been trained on tens of billions of data points, its ‘recognition’ of malicious files is nearly instantaneous—and exponentially more advanced than a simple machine learning framework.
Working in tandem with the DSX Brain to power preemptive data security is the Deep Instinct Artificial Neural Network Assistant, or DIANNA, our GenAI companion for both known and unknown malware explainability. DIANNA is your companion on the journey, your seer in the dark. DIANNA provides readouts in seconds that explain why a file was flagged as malicious and then quarantined or deleted. This is an essential capability of any preemptive solution because the volume and complexity of attacks are increasing daily. Human teams need resources that augment their ability to understand threats and their patterns.
It won’t be possible to hire your way past this darkness. You’ll need a guide.
Control Your Fate
Organizations need to fight AI with AI. And to win, they need better AI. Deep learning frameworks are rare, with only a dozen or so true DL frameworks in existence—and only one built from the ground up for cyber: DSX. They are uniquely capable of self-learning, an invaluable trait in the context of an ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. Our purpose-trained DL framework makes Deep Instinct the leader in preemptive data security. Because deep learning frameworks take years to craft and perfect, we are blazing a trail that legacy vendors cannot tread—unfortunately, future threats are here now.
The cards are on the table, and they paint a dark picture. But the future isn’t fixed. By conjuring a security posture built to fight advanced threats, organizations can change their fate—and protect their data from dark forces. Deep Instinct is the first and only deep learning-powered preemptive data security solution designed to detect and prevent the evolving threats that every organization faces. Our technology changes the fate legacy tools cannot avert.
