CerberusNode: Total Detection and Response

Our next-generation detection and response platform, built on eight architectural commitments that make prevention measurable, language honest, and outcomes verifiable.

CerberusNode is a TDR platform — distinct from EDR (endpoint-only), XDR (correlation), and MDR (managed). Total means on-device gate-position protection where the OS exposes a gate, plus on-device forensics with dwell time collapsed to minutes — not days.

EDR vs. XDR vs. MDR vs. TDR

Each category sits at a different point in the attack timeline. TDR aims at the earliest one.

EDR

Endpoint-only. Catches things on the box but doesn't correlate across your environment.

XDR

Correlates alerts across endpoints, network, cloud — but most XDRs are reactive: they tell you about the attack after it ran.

MDR

Managed Detection and Response. A SOC team watching your alerts. Adds humans, not architecture.

TDR

Total Detection and Response. On-device write-blocking at gate position when the OS allows it. Dwell time collapsed to minutes. Honest outcome language enforced in code, not just copywriting.

What CerberusNode Delivers

Six customer outcomes drawn from our published architecture commitments.

01

Prevention at the gate

Where the operating system gives us a place to deny dangerous operations before they happen, we deny them. Damage = zero. Not 'we killed the process after it ran' — we stopped it before it ran.

02

Honest outcome language

We don't say 'blocked' when we mean 'killed it mid-operation.' When the outcome is ambiguous, we say so. Every report carries a precise verdict: prevented, interrupted, detected, contained, remediated.

03

Signed forensic reports

Every action CerberusNode takes generates a signed report with full chain of custody — what happened, when, what evidence was collected, what was repaired. Court-admissible by design.

04

Post-block verification

Every claimed prevention is verified before we report it. We don't trust the dispatch — we check the outcome path at multiple intervals to confirm the kill actually held.

05

AI as signal, not decision

AI augments human analysts and provides context, but never makes the sole microsecond decision. Deterministic policy owns the block/allow outcome. AI is one input, not the authority.

06

Optional deception

When the threat is high-confidence and customer policy allows, CerberusNode can serve a fake artifact to the attacker — extending dwell time inside a controlled environment. Deny by default; deceive by exception.

Pilot enrollment is open

We're selecting pilot organizations for CerberusNode's first deployments. If your security team is willing to validate prevention-first architecture against real-world threats, we'd like to talk.
