Platform
Built for a Threat Class That Didn't Exist Two Years Ago
Deterministic detection. Customizable behavior models. 360° coverage in a single agent.
Architecture
Three Layers. One Agent.
Click each layer to explore how the platform is built.
Endpoint Agent
- Process + network telemetry collection
- Local deterministic rule engine
- Instant enforcement (no round-trip)
- Windows / Linux / macOS
Signal Flow
AI Sits at Step 4
Steps 1–3 are deterministic. Detection doesn't wait for a model.

Compatibility
Not a Replacement. A Force Multiplier.
Your investment in CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Microsoft Defender was the right call. Helixar.ai doesn't compete with them — it closes the gap they were never designed to fill.
Your existing EDR
Excels at
- Known malware signatures and file-based threats
- Vulnerability exploitation and kernel-level attacks
- MITRE ATT&CK coverage for traditional threat actors
- Compliance reporting and forensic investigation
- Firewall, DLP, and network policy enforcement
Helixar.ai adds
Fills the blind spot
- Autonomous AI agents using legitimate APIs and credentials
- Multi-step agentic chains with no malware signature
- Inbound prompt injection and plugin supply-chain abuse
- Real-time behavioural chain detection — not post-hoc log analysis
- Human-in-the-loop enforcement with full audit trail
Together, they cover the full threat spectrum.
Defender or Falcon handles known, signature-based threats. Helixar.ai handles the new generation of autonomous agent attacks that your existing stack was never designed to see. Two layers of defence, zero overlap — your security budget works harder.

Enforcement
Tiered. Reversible. Logged.
Every action is reversible. Every action is logged.
Alert
Notify the operator. No action taken.
Throttle
Rate-limit the process. Reduce blast radius.
Contain
Isolate the process. Network access revoked.
Terminate
Kill + quarantine. Full isolation.
Capabilities
Built Different
Deterministic Detection
Rules and thresholds that fire instantly — no model inference, no black box.
Agentic Attack Coverage
Built to detect orchestrated bots, AI agents, and framework-based automation.
Inbound Request Protection
WAF-level filtering and payload inspection at the endpoint — no proxy required.
Customizable Behavior Models
Policy-driven models you control. Not vendor-locked, not static.
Human-in-the-Loop
Every enforcement action requires human approval by default.
AI Advisory Layer
AI explains and suggests. Policy decides. Evidence always cited.
Full Audit Trail
SOC2-ready logging with policy versioning and export.
Self-Hosted Option
Deploy entirely on-prem. No data leaves your environment.
AI Layer
AI Explains. Policy Decides.
Detection works at steps 1–3. AI at step 4 is optional. Remove the model — detection still runs.
