How It Works

AI-powered behavioral detection stops malware before signature updates exist. Traditional antivirus relies on known malware signatures, but Cybee analyzes behavior patterns to detect unknown threats.

Key Features

• Real-time Monitoring: Monitors file system, network, process, and registry activity
• Automated Response: Automatically quarantines suspicious files and kills malicious processes
• Low False-Positives: Machine learning models trained on millions of samples
• Ransomware Protection: Detects encryption behavior and blocks ransomware in real-time
• Fileless Attack Detection: Identifies memory-only malware and script-based attacks
• Rollback Capability: Can restore encrypted files if ransomware is detected early

Detection Capabilities

• Malware (viruses, trojans, worms, rootkits)
• Ransomware and crypto-lockers
• Spyware and keyloggers
• Exploits and zero-day attacks
• Suspicious PowerShell/scripting activity
• Lateral movement and privilege escalation
• Data exfiltration attempts

Troubleshooting

Agent Not Connecting

Symptoms: Agent installed but not appearing in dashboard

• Check internet connectivity (agent requires outbound HTTPS/443)
• Verify firewall allows connections to *.cybee.ai
• Check if corporate proxy is blocking the connection
• Restart the agent service/daemon
• Re-install with a fresh authorization code

Permission Errors

Windows: Run installer as administrator. Approve driver installation.

macOS: Grant Full Disk Access in System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Full Disk Access. Approve System Extension.

Linux: Run installation commands with sudo. Ensure kernel headers are installed.

Performance Impact

If you experience performance issues:

• Check CPU/RAM usage in Task Manager/Activity Monitor
• Exclude development build directories from real-time scanning
• Schedule full scans during off-hours
• Contact support if CPU usage exceeds 5% sustained

Compatibility with Other Security Software

Cybee can run alongside most security tools, but we recommend disabling built-in antivirus (Windows Defender, macOS XProtect) to avoid conflicts. Cybee provides comprehensive protection and additional AV is redundant.
