Starting point is 00:00:00 This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. Cyber Startup Frenetic launches with patented deception technology betting against the AI arms race by Cyber Newswire. Bethesda, USA, Maryland, December 2nd 2025, Cyber Newswire. While most cybersecurity companies pour resources into AI models, massive compute, hoovering up all the data, and enhanced analytics to detect and prevent threats, Phenetic, a Maryland cyberstores. startup, is betting on something simpler, making sure attackers don't know what defenders know. The company emerged today with a fundamentally different approach using novel cyber deception and a newly issued U.S. patent to back it.
Starting point is 00:00:42 Greater than, the industry has turned cybersecurity into a compute and analysis war, said greater than founder Hans Ismirnaglu. Bigger models, more data, faster analysis, but you greater than can't out compute or out analyze an adversary forever. We're not trying to. greater than were exploiting information asymmetry. Traditional deception tools deploy fake systems, wait for attackers to find them, and hope they interact. Frenetics patented, deception in use, technology, U.S. Patent 12,463,981. Systems and methods for counter reconnaissance in cloud
Starting point is 00:01:19 infrastructure to disrupt adversarial targeting takes a different path. It continuously rotates actually used identities and resources across Microsoft Entra, M365, AWS, Google Cloud, and on-premises environments. The critical details of who changed, what changed, when, where, and how travel throughout of band channels accessible only to trusted parties, defenders stay informed. Attackers work from stale intelligence. Adversaries, especially AI-driven ones, build models based on reconnaissance. They assume the environment they mapped earlier as the environment they'll exploit today, Ismirnaglu explained. We break that assumption without needing a bigger GPU cluster by simply depriving them of easily discoverable information. Users can think of it as musical
Starting point is 00:02:07 chairs for hackers. By the time they figure out where to sit, everything has moved, and only defenders know which chairs are real and which have become traps. The technology transforms existing deception tools from passive traps into active ones. When frenetic rotates real resources, attackers following stale intelligence get funneled straight into honeypots and decoys, supercharging interaction rates with classic deception elements that previously only hoped to look real. Unlike solutions requiring extensive tuning or analyst oversight, frenetic works because attackers simply lack the information needed to know the difference. I want the adversary to have to continuously put a dedicated body onto every target they go after.
