Cyemptive Technologies Announces Their Recently Issued Patent That, For the First Time in History, Provides the Key to Successfully Defend Against Ransomware, Malware and Steganography

September 22, 2021/in Internet Security

SNOHOMISH, Wash., September 22, 2021–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cyemptive Technologies, Inc., a provider of pre-emptive cybersecurity products and technology and winner of the Department of Homeland Security’s national competition for most innovative border security-related solution in the market, today announced their recently issued patent that, for the first time in history, provides a patent-validated solution to prevent ransomware, malware and steganography assaults.

According to industry research, companies are succumbing to increasingly sophisticated ransomware and malware attacks at a cost of more than $7.5 billion in 2019. Even prior to the COVID pandemic, ransomware attacks have been growing by more than 20% year over year.

“Current processes such as big data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning, checksum technology, known signatures, API monitoring, and human intervention are obviously not working against ever-evolving, zero day ransomware variations,” said Bryan Seely, Cyemptive’s Senior Security Architect and well-known cybersecurity author and expert.

“This patent confirms the uniqueness of our solution and is a complete game-changer,” said Rob Pike, founder and CEO of Cyemptive Technologies. “This is a totally different methodology that actually identifies the fundamental structural design elements underlying any type of existing or new-variant ransomware attack and then pre-empts the attack from proceeding. We do not need or depend on AI, deep learning, signatures or other existing approaches that focus on post-intrusion analysis,” said Pike. “We detect the root characteristics of any type of ransomware attack and then pre-empt it.”

“Cyemptive has now patented the ransomware answer that Cyemptive currently deploys in our Enterprise Scanner (CES),” said Seely. “The next step is incorporating this technology at the kernel level, at which time ransomware will be solved.”

“Not only that,” said Jim DuBois, Cyemptive Chief Strategy Officer and former Chief Information Security Officer for Microsoft, “we provide financially-backed SLAs to support our pledge to preemptively detect and remediate problems, particularly when combining our…

Cloudflare rallies the troops to fight off another so-called patent troll – TechCrunch

April 26, 2021/in Internet Security

Nearly four years ago, we wrote about a battle between Cloudflare, the San Francisco-based internet security and performance company, and Blackbird Technologies, a firm that quickly amassed dozens of patents, then began using them to file dozens of patent infringement lawsuits against companies, including Cloudflare.

The suit was typical in every way, except how Cloudflare responded to it. Unlike many targets of similar lawsuits that opt to settle, Cloudflare fought back, asking very publicly for help in locating prior art that would not only invalidate the broad patent that Blackbird was using to sue Cloudflare, but to invalidate all of Blackbird’s patents. The public answered the call, and two years and 275 unique submissions later, the case against Cloudflare was dismissed and Blackbird’s operations were diminished.

One might surmise that given the stink that Cloudflare raised, other patent trolls might choose an easier target. Yet last month, Cloudflare was sued yet again, this time by Sable Networks, a “company that doesn’t appear to have operated a real business in nearly ten years — relying on patents that don’t come close to the nature of our business or the services we provide,” as says Doug Kramer, general counsel of CloudFlare.

Unsurprisingly, Cloudflare isn’t going to take this newest action lying down. This morning, after revealing the lawsuit publicly, it invited the engineering community to again “turn the tables” on patent trolls by inviting them to participate in a crowdsourced effort to find evidence of prior art to invalidate the “ancient, 20-year-old patents” that Cloudlflare says that Sable is is “trying to stretch . . . lightyears beyond what they were meant to cover.”

Cloudflare is also offering a $100,000 bounty to be split among entrants who provide the most useful prior-art references that can be used in challenging the validity of all of Sable’s patents, not just those being asserted against Cloudflare.

The idea is to deal a big enough blow to Sable that not only is its case against Cloudflare hobbled but also future cases against other entities.

“We feel fortunate that we didn’t run into one of these cases…
