Deep Instinct DSX

What it does

Deep Instinct DSX is an Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) and preemptive data security product that blocks malware before it executes. Its DSX Brain, a discriminative deep neural network trained on raw file data rather than engineered features, returns a malicious or benign verdict in under 20 milliseconds without cloud lookups or threat feeds. The same engine that protects endpoints also scans files at rest and in motion across cloud storage, network-attached storage, and application file flows, so zero-day and ransomware payloads are stopped before detonation.

How it works

On endpoints, a lightweight D-Client agent applies layered engines: pre-execution deep static analysis of executables, documents, archives, and scripts; an AMSI-powered script engine and in-memory behavioral engine that stop fileless attacks and code injection on execution; and a post-execution suspicious activity engine whose alerts are mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Verdicts are computed locally, so protection continues offline. The cloud, network-attached storage, and application modules reuse the same brain to scan storage repositories and files moving through middleware or upload flows, and DIANNA, the GenAI DSX Companion, explains blocked unknown threats in natural language in under ten seconds.

Credentials and traction

Deep Instinct holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, and 27018 certifications, with Coalfire validating the platform for PCI DSS environments and GDPR requirements. Added to the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms, it scored 100 percent prevention in the 2022 MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations and was cited in the 2024 Gartner Hype Cycle for Storage Technologies. Customers include Seiko Holdings Group, Cyera, Yamada Holdings, American Express, Honeywell, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Carnegie Mellon.
