What role does memory analytics play across the platform?
Short answer: Memory analytics is the foundation everything else is built on. It is the sensor and analytic source feeding all behavioral modeling — data protection, identity protection, and FortressAI alike. Every decision those capabilities make rests on kno...
Why does Cyber Crucible operate at the kernel level?
Short answer: The kernel is the deepest, most privileged layer of the operating system. Operating there lets Cyber Crucible see and control all system activity, identify a malicious process's intent, and stop it in milliseconds — and it makes the tool far hard...
What does it mean that Cyber Crucible is independent of Windows libraries?
Short answer: Cyber Crucible does not rely on the Windows system libraries it is protecting. It was deliberately decoupled from them, so that when attackers compromise, crash, or hijack those libraries, Cyber Crucible keeps running, keeps enforcing, and keeps ...
Does Cyber Crucible work offline or in air-gapped environments?
Short answer: Yes. All analysis and enforcement happen locally on the endpoint, so Cyber Crucible provides full protection with no internet connection, no cloud service, and no signal of any kind. It is suitable for air-gapped networks, OT and ICS environments...
Why does Cyber Crucible respond by suspending a process instead of shutting down the system?
Short answer: Suspending only the malicious process — sometimes called a Selective Freeze — neutralizes the attack while everything else keeps running. There's no full-system lockdown, no reboot, and no interruption to legitimate work. The problem with lockdow...
What is FortressAI?
Short answer: FortressAI is Cyber Crucible's generative-AI data protection product. It enforces policy at the operating system's deepest layer, checking data access on the device and blocking, redacting, or safely allowing information before it can reach ChatG...
What is Shadow AI, and who inside my organization is creating the risk?
Short answer: Shadow AI is employees using AI tools that IT hasn't approved or doesn't know about. The risk isn't limited to rank-and-file staff — privileged administrators and compromised accounts are often the larger exposure. Three sources of exposure Empl...
Why do DLP, AI firewalls, and private LLMs fail to stop AI data leaks?
Short answer: Each addresses part of the problem from the wrong layer. DLP can be bypassed, AI firewalls sit at the network edge and are blind to activity on the device, and private LLMs are expensive while doing nothing about employees using public tools anyw...
How does FortressAI protect data in a web browser?
Beta capability. Browser-based AI usage detection and enforcement is currently in beta. It is functional and in active use, but evaluate it in your environment before depending on it as a control. Short answer: FortressAI monitors browser activity from the k...
How does FortressAI know an AI tool hasn't been tampered with?
Short answer: Before granting any AI tool access to data, FortressAI assesses whether that tool has been tampered with — checking the integrity of its process and loaded libraries through the same memory behavioral analytics the rest of the platform runs on. A...
Can I control which AI tools my organization is allowed to use?
Short answer: Yes. FortressAI provides per-tool assessment — granular control over exactly which AI tools are authorized and which are blocked — and location-based enforcement, so policy can be tied to where sensitive data lives rather than to individual appli...
Which FortressAI capabilities are generally available, and which are in beta?
Short answer: Core kernel-level enforcement — blocking sensitive data from reaching AI tools, per-tool authorization, and location-based data policy — is generally available. Browser-based AI usage detection and enforcement, Microsoft Purview/MIP sensitivity l...
How does FortressAI help with compliance and audit?
Short answer: FortressAI prevents the leak rather than reporting it afterward, and provides straightforward records of who accessed what and where leaks were stopped — evidence you can show an auditor. Prevention as a compliance posture Most compliance exposur...
If an attack is prevented, do we still have to report a breach?
Short answer: Generally no. When an attack is stopped before execution and no data is accessed, altered, or exfiltrated, there is typically no breach to disclose. Disclosure obligations are usually triggered by unauthorized access to protected data — not by an...
How does Cyber Crucible support HIPAA compliance in healthcare?
Short answer: All analysis happens locally at the kernel level, so protected health information never leaves the endpoint for security processing. That avoids the HIPAA exposure created by security tools that upload sensitive files or keys to third-party cloud...
How does Cyber Crucible support FERPA and student data privacy?
Short answer: FortressAI checks data access on the device, so student records and family data can't reach a public AI tool by accident. Cyber Crucible stops ransomware autonomously without requiring a 24/7 security operations center — which most districts and ...
What does data sovereignty mean for Cyber Crucible deployments?
Short answer: Your data stays where you put it. Analysis and enforcement happen on the endpoint, and Cyber Crucible can be deployed fully on-premises — running in physically secured server racks rather than a public cloud, with no third-party platforms, no ext...
What compliance risk does encryption key escrow create, and why doesn't Cyber Crucible do it?
Short answer: Storing encryption keys centrally creates a single point of failure, a high-value target, and exposure to compelled disclosure. Cyber Crucible's prevention approach doesn't depend on capturing or escrowing keys, so there is no central key store t...
