Microsecond Threat Defense for
Resource-Constrained Edge & OT Systems
Traditional cloud EDR is too heavy and slow for the edge. AegisEdge embeds an ultra-lightweight, sub-10MB Rust security core running directly inside industrial PLCs, medical monitors, POS kiosks, and smart gateways—delivering <500 microsecond autonomous containment with zero inbound open ports.
Why Traditional Cloud EDR Fails at the Edge
Enterprise cybersecurity was built for high-spec workstations on high-speed fiber—not real-time edge controllers, factory PLCs, or cellular IoT devices.
Cloud-Tethered & Resource-Heavy
-
High RAM Footprint (250MB–1GB): Crashes low-power gateways and triggers OS Out-Of-Memory kernel panics.
-
Dangerous Cloud Latency (1–5s): Streaming all events to the cloud takes too long; edge ransomware encrypts flash in milliseconds.
-
Inoperable in Disconnections: Completely blind in air-gapped plants, mining sites, and cellular dead zones.
Autonomous & Featherweight
-
Sub-10MB Rust Core (<1% CPU): Zero Garbage Collection, deterministic execution for x86_64, ARM64, and ARMv7/v8.
-
Autonomous Micro-Containment (<500μs): Freezes malicious process trees (`SIGSTOP`) and isolates network sockets locally.
-
100% Offline Operational Defense: Local encrypted SQLite WAL ring buffer queues 14 days of forensics data during outages.
Engineered for Mission-Critical Edge Hardware
A single unified binary combining autonomous endpoint security, zero-trust remote operations, and industrial asset discovery.
Kernel eBPF & ETW Hooking
Zero-overhead runtime visibility into process execution, socket connections, and file modifications via Linux eBPF tracepoints and Windows Minifilters.
Microsecond Containment
Local process freeze (`SIGSTOP`), termination (`SIGKILL`), ransomware canary traps, and surgical network isolation dropping lateral traffic while keeping WSS control active.
Zero-Trust Reverse Tunnels
Outbound-only WebSocket Secure (WSS) reverse tunnels bypassing NATs, CGNAT, and firewalls. Full interactive PTY web terminal, file manager, and port forwarding.
14-Day Offline Buffer
Queues telemetry, alerts, and forensics locally in an encrypted SQLite WAL ring buffer during WAN blackouts. Syncs compressed stream automatically upon reconnect.
Safe Agentless Discovery
Passive broadcast sniffing & non-intrusive fingerprinting for unmodifiable legacy PLCs, SCADA hardware, and FDA-certified medical monitors without crashing controllers.
Intel AMT & Hardware OOBM
Out-of-band hardware power cycling, BIOS-level KVM remote desktop, and IDE-R remote re-imaging for bricked or unresponsive edge nodes via Intel vPro & Redfish.
Where AegisEdge Deploys
Select an industry vertical to see how AegisEdge XDR safeguards operational technology without risking uptime.
Industrial Automation & Critical Infrastructure
Protect plant floors, water treatment stations, and power substations where downtime is unacceptable. Passive discovery prevents packet overload on legacy PLCs while protecting against unauthorized ladder logic reprogramming.
- ✓ Zero-Crash Passive Discovery: Catalogs PLCs without active scan packets.
- ✓ Protocol Protection: Blocks unauthorized ladder logic writes on Modbus/TCP.
- ✓ Lightweight Agent: <10MB Rust footprint runs safely on RTUs and IPCs.
Healthcare & Medical IoT (IoMT)
Safeguard hospital networks, MRI diagnostic consoles, infusion pump gateways, and patient telemetry units. Third-party software cannot be installed directly on FDA-certified medical hardware.
- ✓ Gateway Fingerprinting: Passively catalogs medical devices at the router.
- ✓ Surgical EHR Isolation: Cuts off infected machines without dropping vitals.
- ✓ Merkle Audit Trail: Cryptographically proves HIPAA compliance.
Smart Retail, Self-Checkout & POS Kiosks
Defend thousands of distributed stores, checkout registers, self-service kiosks, and ATMs vulnerable to physical BadUSB dongles, payment binary tampering, and cellular dropouts.
- ✓ Kernel FIM: Intercepts unauthorized changes to payment executables.
- ✓ BadUSB Protection: Instantly blocks malicious USB keystroke dongles.
- ✓ Remote PTY & File Manager: Fixes POS software without costly truck rolls.
Connected Automotive, Fleet & Telematics
Protect connected vehicle gateways, autonomous delivery rovers, and telematics control units operating over erratic cellular/satellite links with strict battery conservation requirements.
- ✓ Dead-Zone Resilience: SQLite WAL ring buffer queues data offline.
- ✓ CAN-bus Visibility: Identifies anomaly bursts on virtual CAN (vcan) sockets.
- ✓ Bandwidth Saving: <5 KB/min idle traffic minimizes SIM data bills.
Edge AI & Computer Vision Workstations
Safeguard NVIDIA Jetson, Intel OpenVINO, and Google Coral TPU boxes running real-time video analytics, defect detection, and localized LLMs from model theft and cryptomining hijacking.
- ✓ Model Exfiltration Guard: Read-only lock on weights (.onnx, .engine).
- ✓ GPU Hijack Detector: Catches background cryptominers without slowing inference.
- ✓ Instant Process Suspension: Freezes rogue exfiltration scripts immediately.
