Hewlett Packard Enterprise vs Xcitium

About Xcitium

Xcitium sells a zero trust cybersecurity platform that protects endpoints, networks and cloud workloads from zero-day threats by isolating unknown files until they are analyzed and given a verdict. Xcitium says it exists to ensure that people can embrace technology fully, without the shadow of insecurity hanging over them.

Xcitium describes its approach as zero trust auto-containment. Xcitium isolates unknowns at run-time until they are analyzed and given a verdict of good or bad. Unknowns are allowed to execute in virtual resources, where they cannot do any damage. Xcitium says its approach allows executables to run in virtualized containers where they cannot do any damage.

Xcitium contrasts this with traditional detection-based security. Xcitium says traditional security models only recognize and prevent known malware, leaving organizations vulnerable to unknown threats. Xcitium says there is always a lag when new malware is introduced before a solution can be created. Xcitium says the zero-day threat lag leaves systems unprotected during that window.
