Throughout 2025 the criminal economy quietly adopted the same agentic AI tools as Fortune 500 R&D teams. The result: red-team frameworks like Mythic, Sliver, and Havoc are now driven by autonomous agents that rewrite payloads in seconds, pivot through cloud identities, and stay under the radar of every signature-based tool an SMB can afford. The asymmetry is no longer skill — it's tempo.
LLM-driven implants regenerate their own code on every beacon — defeating SHA256 blocklists, YARA strings written even an hour earlier, and the entire premise of "known-bad" detection.
↑ 312% novel implant variants observed YoYFrameworks like Mythic 4.x ship with agent operators that pick their own targets, dump their own credentials, and decide their own lateral path — without a human at the keyboard.

1 in 7 SMBs hit by AI-tailored phishing in the last 12 monthsThis is why we built IronCastle. Signature tools are losing to autonomous attackers. The answer is an AI defender that runs at the same speed — on your machines, in your cloud, with humans on top.
Full 2026 threat brief →Every capability below is live in production today — built for an attacker who never sleeps and never types the same payload twice.
A frontier-model-powered analyst reads every incident in plain English, maps it to MITRE ATT&CK, and recommends the next action — within seconds. Auto-contained alerts carry an 🤖 AI Guardian attribution so your team always knows who acted.
Every non-Apple-signed process gets scanned against a cryptographically signed YARA pack the moment it spawns. Catches in-memory toolkits like Mimikatz, Cobalt Strike, and Mythic implants before they finish loading.
The IronCastle agent ships with a kernel-level KeepAlive, watchdog heartbeat, and tamper telemetry. If an attacker tries to pkill it, launchctl unload it, or delete the LaunchDaemon, the agent emits a critical incident and respawns within 1-2 seconds.
Kill the process, quarantine the file, block the hash tenant-wide, isolate the host from the network — all queued automatically the instant a critical detection fires. SOC analysts pick up the cleaned-up incident, not the active fire.
One click captures the full process tree, network state, loaded kexts, and system metadata on the affected endpoint — then stores it forever next to the incident. Audit, replay, prove what happened.
Quarantined files move to a tamper-evident vault with sidecar metadata. The SHA256 is added to a per-tenant blocklist so the same payload is auto-killed on every other endpoint, before it runs.
Partners run their own SOC under their own brand on our platform. Super admin → partner → tenant hierarchy, with isolation enforced at the database row level. Built for MSPs, IT consultancies, and regional SOCs.
A "What we did for you" panel logs every analyst and AI action against your incidents. A 0-100 security score with 7-day trend lives on the home page. Plain-English answers — no jargon, no dashboards-only-an-MSP-can-read.
Catching the attack is half the job. Getting you back to work — and hardening everything around the endpoint — is the other half. These services wrap the platform so a breach never becomes a shutdown.
Immutable, ransomware-proof backups that an attacker can't encrypt or delete — paired with rapid restore so a bad day stays a bad day, not a closed business. Cloud or on-prem retention, your choice.
A tested plan to keep operating through an incident — not a binder that sits on a shelf. We design the failover, write the runbooks, and rehearse the recovery before you ever need it.
The day-to-day IT layer under the security layer — proactive monitoring, patching, and certified engineers on call. Annual maintenance contracts with on-site support across the GCC.
Most SMB breaches walk in through a flat network and an unmanaged firewall. We deploy next-gen firewalls, enforce who gets on the network, and segment it so one compromise doesn't become all of them.
Find the gaps before an attacker does. Vulnerability assessments, hands-on penetration testing, and a policy review that maps cleanly to the compliance frameworks your customers and regulators ask about.
Keep the data itself safe even when a device is lost or stolen. Full-disk and endpoint encryption, data-loss controls, and secure cloud storage — so a missing laptop is an inconvenience, not a notifiable breach.
Attackers count on certain businesses being under-defended — the ones with valuable data, thin IT teams, and no room for downtime. Those are exactly the businesses we're built for.
Deploy the agent and link your cloud, identity, and SaaS accounts. No re-architecture, no agents-on-agents.
Our AI learns your environment for 7 days, suppressing known-good signals so the noise floor drops.
24/7 detection, AI triage, and analyst response. You see only what actually matters — by SMS, email, or Slack.
Score climbs every week as we close gaps in MFA, patching, and identity hygiene — all without you logging in.
Three tiers, named for what they defend. Every tier includes the AI Guardian. Sparring and Edge Triage start on Keep. The full red-team programme lives on Citadel. Full breakdown on pricing.html.
We're audited, attested, and obsessed with showing our work. Customers can pull every control on demand from the portal.
It means the people targeting you are no longer hand-crafting payloads — they're driving frameworks like Mythic, Sliver, and Havoc with autonomous agents that regenerate malware on every connect, pick lateral targets without a human, and clone voices to social-engineer your finance team. Signature-based antivirus loses to this. You need a defender that runs on the same architecture: continuous behavioural detection, on-device AI, and humans on top for judgment. That's what IronCastle is.
Three things. One: enterprise EDRs cost $80-200/endpoint/month and ship without a SOC. You still need to hire analysts. Two: they're tuned for 5,000-seat enterprises, not 50-seat SMBs — false positives bury small teams. Three: we built IronCastle around an AI-first SOC from day one. The AI Guardian (latest frontier models) reads every incident before a human does — so a 30-person team behind the scenes can defend 2,400 customers without missing anything.
A signed, tamper-resistant Rust binary that runs as root with full-disk access. It streams process, file, and network telemetry to our collector, runs on-device YARA scans against a signed rule pack, kills processes that match the per-tenant blocklist, isolates the host on instruction (pf-based), and respawns itself within 1-2 seconds if anyone tries to kill it. Zero kernel extensions on macOS, zero performance drag on Windows. Two-minute install.
The AI Guardian triages in seconds, writes the verdict in plain English with MITRE technique IDs, and auto-queues containment — kill the process, quarantine the file, blocklist the hash, isolate the host. A named analyst reviews. If we need you, we contact you on the channel you set (Slack, SMS, phone) with one suggested action. You'll never get paged at 2am for a routine alert. Every action is logged in the "What we did for you" panel on your portal.
Yes. The portal exposes a SOC-grade analyst view with full event timeline, MITRE mapping, AI Guardian reasoning, forensic snapshot, and the live incident audit log. Owners see the simple view by default; admins can flip. MSPs get the partner portal — same view across every tenant they manage.
Customer data lives in the region you choose — UAE, AU, or EU — and never leaves it. Our parent, Permus Software House, operates from Dubai and Sydney, with regional data planes in each. We hold ISO 9001, 27001, and 42001 certification.
