Short answer: For years vendors advised that local endpoint processing was obsolete and pushed lightweight agents that forward raw telemetry to cloud analytics. Modern in-memory attacks against core OS libraries have exposed that model — the agents keep runnin...

Short answer: Because it asks a narrower question. Signature and heuristic tools alert whenever something resembles a known-bad pattern and leave humans to sort it out. Intent-based prevention asks whether a specific program is, right now, doing something mali...

Short answer: It depends on whether the program is trusted and whether it has been compromised. A legitimate application that simply overreaches is given fake data or quietly denied. An unknown or compromised application is rejected or suspended. The real cred...

Short answer: A session token is the credential your browser or app holds after you log in, proving you're already authenticated. Stealing one is often worse than stealing a password because it typically bypasses both the password and multi-factor authenticati...

Short answer: A refresh token is a long-lived credential used to silently obtain new access tokens without the user logging in again. It's what "remember me" relies on. Because it can keep minting fresh access indefinitely, a stolen refresh token can give an a...

Short answer: Cookies are small pieces of data a website stores in your browser, and some of them are authentication cookies that keep you logged in. Stealing those is functionally equivalent to stealing an active session — the attacker can load them into thei...

Short answer: An API key is a secret string that identifies and authorizes a program — rather than a person — when it calls a service. A stolen key lets an attacker make requests as your application, often with no user interaction, no MFA, and no obvious sign ...

Short answer: In several predictable places — the Windows Credential Manager, browser password stores, VPN client configuration, and on domain controllers the Active Directory database (NTDS). "Predictable" is the key word: automated attacks rely on those loca...

Short answer: A wallet key is the private cryptographic key that authorizes spending from a cryptocurrency address. Whoever holds it controls the funds. Theft is effectively irreversible because blockchain transactions can't be reversed and there's no institut...

Short answer: Key-based authentication proves identity with a cryptographic private key instead of a password — used by SSH, many VPNs, and file transfer clients. A stolen private key grants access without any password or MFA prompt, and because keys are rarel...

Short answer: Because the theft happens in the space between a program requesting credential data and the operating system delivering it. Only a defense operating at the kernel — below the applications and libraries an attacker can manipulate — can see that re...

Short answer: Cyber Crucible operates under a Zero-Content Harvesting directive. It processes system operational telemetry — process execution paths, parent-child process chains, hardware execution indicators, and memory integrity states — analyzed locally on ...

Short answer: System telemetry describes how software is behaving — which process started which, what memory looks like, whether execution patterns are anomalous. Customer data is the content your business creates and holds — files, emails, database records, c...

Short answer: No. Cyber Crucible does not share, license, trade, or disclose customer information or telemetry to any third party, and customer data is strictly not for sale under any circumstances. The commitments Zero third-party sharing — no sharing, licen...

Short answer: Nothing in the categories that matter most, because it never holds them. Cyber Crucible does not harvest, store, or retain decryption keys, user credentials, or customer files — so there is nothing of that kind to produce to any private party, go...

Short answer: All agent-to-server communications enforce TLS 1.3. Operational data payloads additionally use JSON Web Encryption (JWE) with unique per-agent cryptographic key pairs, so payloads cannot be intercepted or manipulated in transit. Administrative ac...

Short answer: Yes. Cyber Crucible infrastructure can be staged so processing occurs geographically close to or within your legal jurisdiction, and a fully on-premises air-gapped deployment keeps everything inside your own network boundary with zero outbound te...

Short answer: Two. A fully air-gapped on-premises model where nothing leaves your network, and a hosted or hybrid cloud-assisted model with JWE-encrypted TLS communications to regionally staged servers. Both provide the same sub-200-millisecond local preventio...
