Vali Cyber, Inc. was founded in 2020 with the mission of addressing the specific security needs of Linux. Based on DARPA-funded research from MIT and CMU, we created ZeroLock™, a security product that provides comprehensive lockdown capability and unparalleled threat detection efficacy while consuming a mere fraction of the resources required by legacy Linux security tools. Our approach is built to put our clients in control—by automating the time-consuming (and error-prone) tasks of securing systems against attack, using state-of-the-art behavioral and AI/ML techniques to detect and stop threats, and automating recovery from attacks. Imagine detecting and fully remediating a ransomware attack in milliseconds… that dream has become reality.
