Predict → Prevent → Adapt
Multiple layers
one continuous loop
Each layer prevents at a different point in the attack, across the full ransomware lifecycle, and the AI layer now running alongside it.
Adaptive AI Defense
The continuously learning AI layer. It adapts runtime randomization, exposure insight and automated response in real time to stop AI driven and autonomous threats before execution. Three capabilities sit inside it.
- Neutralizes AI generated malware, compromised agents and zero day exploits with no signatures and no behavioural rules
- Blocks and disrupts AI driven attacks at machine speed, with no response delay
- Works alongside EDR and XDR to close the detection and response gap
Adaptive Exposure Management
Usage aware visibility that ranks the CVEs, misconfigurations and high risk software that actually matter. No scanning, no disruption.
- Vulnerability prioritization beyond CVSS, using contextual exposure, EPSS and CISA KEV
- Security controls validation: continuous assurance your security software is deployed and configured
- Security misconfigurations, software inventory, EOL support and privileged account risk
- Risk Analyzer: a single cyber risk score from business context and usage based insight
Infiltration Protection
Runtime memory protection stops the exploits and in memory techniques that start an attack, across the MITRE ATT&CK chain.
- Runtime memory protection against fileless threats EDR cannot actively stop
- Privilege escalation protection, blocking UAC bypass via registry and COM manipulation
- Credential theft protection for browser stored credentials and hash dumps
- Hacking tool protection: blocks PsExec, Mimikatz, Cobalt Strike and living off the land techniques
Impact Protection and Data Exfiltration Control
Stops encryption, destruction and the data theft that drives double extortion.
- Tamper protection, wiping protection and data encryption protection
- Backup integrity: prevents Volume Shadow Copy from being disabled or deleted
- Data Exfiltration Control: automatic blocking of ransomware driven theft, plus per tool policy governance
- Command and control disruption
Adaptive Recovery
Captures encryption keys in real time to restore files with no backups and no ransom, and preserves volatile forensic evidence.
- Data Recovery: restores encrypted files by intercepting encryption keys during ransomware execution
- Forensic Recovery: secures logs and attacker footprints in tamper proof storage

AI Security · AI Usage Control (AIUC)
AI Usage Control:
govern every AI on every endpoint
Morphisec AI Usage Control (AIUC) is the endpoint-native module that discovers and governs every AI tool, agent, LLM service, browser extension, and MCP connector running on your endpoints, including the shadow AI nobody approved. It runs inside the Morphisec Protector you already deploy: no proxy, no cloud relay, no new agent. And because it governs AI by behavior, not prompts, nothing your employees type ever leaves the machine.
Closing the AI Security Gap
Legacy controls fail AI in three structural ways. Morphisec closes all three by shifting from detection to prevention at the point of execution.
Visibility gap
No reliable way to identify every AI tool and agent on endpoints, or tell authorized from unauthorized use. Discover inventories it all.
Control gap
Even when AI is identified, there’s no runtime enforcement to define acceptable behavior or stop a risky process. Govern & Guardrails enforce it.
Prevention gap
Detection is reactive; AI completes its objective before alerts fire. Morphisec prevents before execution, at machine speed, deterministically.
AIUC Solution Comparison
The AI security field splits two ways.
Morphisec beats both.
Network and CASB tools only see routed traffic. Detect-and-respond platforms act after the fact. And make you adopt their stack. Morphisec governs AI where it runs and prevents the action before it executes.

Impact Protection · Data Exfiltration Control
Two layers. One agent.
No classifiers.
Data Exfiltration Control stops the data theft that drives double and triple extortion, automatically, and then by policy.
Governed exfiltration tools (add-on)
Extensible, additional tools are added through Morphisec Support.
| Capability | Traditional DLP | Morphisec Data Exfiltration Control |
|---|---|---|
| Decision basis | Content classification | Process context plus network destination |
| Time to value | Months of tuning, thousands of classifiers | Deterministic from day one |
| Dual-use admin tools | Often missed or over-blocked | Governed per tool, with allow rules |
| Deployment | A separate DLP stack | A module on the agent you already run |
| Incident output | Policy alerts to triage | Critical, MITRE-mapped exfiltration incidents |
Zero content inspection. Zero classifiers. Cross-platform on one agent, Windows, Linux and macOS.
The patented foundation
Automated Moving Target Defense
Morphisec morphs application memory at load time. Legitimate code knows where its resources are, malicious code does not. Exploits hit a target that isn’t where they expect and fail deterministically.
- No signatures and no prior knowledge, stops zero-day and fileless attacks
- Deterministic at execution. No dwell time, no detection window
- Less than 1% performance impact; complements (never replaces) your EDR
Capability Map
Five stages.
Prevention at every one.
Which layer acts, and when, pre-execution, during, and post.
| Execution phase | Attack phase | Morphisec capabilities |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-execution | Initial Access | Reduce the attack surface with Adaptive Exposure Management. Disrupt loaders and droppers with AMTD. |
| Pre & during | Recon & lateral movement | Block privilege escalation. Neutralize Cobalt Strike and Mimikatz. Disrupt OS-native commands (lsass, wmic, net). |
| During execution | Exfiltration | Stop ransomware-driven theft and govern dual-use tools with Data Exfiltration Control. Block command-and-control. |
| During execution | Deployment | Stop encryption. Protect backups (Volume Shadow Copy). Disrupt PsExec and GPO. |
| Post-execution | Extortion | Restore from hidden recovery points, recover keys, and provide incident response, backed by the Ransomware-Free Guarantee. |

What else Morphisec
gets hired to do
Three jobs that come up in almost every evaluation. And that a detection-first tool structurally cannot take on.
Reduce exposure under the zero-day clock
A patch you cannot deploy today is not a control today. Morphisec closes the window between disclosure and patch: AMTD prevents exploitation of the vulnerability at runtime whether or not it has been patched, so the time-to-patch clock stops being the thing that decides whether you are breached.
- Protection that does not depend on the patch being applied
- Adaptive Exposure Management ranks what actually matters, EPSS, CISA KEV, real exposure
- Bridges the gap for the patches you cannot ship this quarter
Protect legacy and operationally constrained estates
The machines that cannot take an EDR agent are the ones attackers want most: end-of-life Windows, clinical and biomedical devices, OT and manufacturing endpoints, air-gapped hosts. Morphisec runs in user space, needs no reboot, works offline, and costs under 1% CPU. So it deploys where EDR cannot.
- Runs on estates that cannot take a heavyweight agent
- No cloud dependency, local prevention works offline and air-gapped
- One of the few things Morphisec does that EDR genuinely cannot
Deliver security at scale as an MSP or MSSP
Morphisec is channel-led by design. A prevention-first agent means fewer alerts to triage per endpoint, which is the economics that make a managed service work: multi-tenant management from one console, deterministic outcomes instead of alert volume, and a Guarantee you can put in front of your own customers.
- Multi-tenant management in the Morphisec Security Center
- Fewer alerts per endpoint. The unit economics of a managed service
- Partner-led: GuidePoint, CyberOne, Fulcrum and a growing MSP/MSSP program
Peace of Mind, Proven in Practice
The 100% Ransomware-Free Guarantee
- 100% money-back assurance, full reimbursement of subscription fees if a ransomware breach occurs on a protected endpoint.
- Expert incident support. A dedicated Morphisec Incident Response team for containment, forensics and remediation.
Frequently Asked Questions
The platform, answered
Product, packaging and coverage. For what shadow AI is and why the prompt layer can’t stop it, see the AI Hub.
What is the Morphisec Preemptive Cyber Defense Platform?
What is included in the platform, and what is an add-on?
Infiltration Protection, Impact Protection (which includes the Data Exfiltration Control base layer), and Adaptive Recovery are included by default. Adaptive Exposure Management, Adaptive AI Defense (which houses AI Usage Control and AI Command), and Data Exfiltration Control policy governance are add-ons. Everything runs on one agent and one console, there is no second deployment.
What is AI Usage Control?
Morphisec AI Usage Control is an endpoint-native module that discovers and governs every AI tool, agent, LLM service, browser extension, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector running on your endpoints: including shadow AI. It follows a four-part model: Discover, Govern, Guardrails, and React. AI discovery, managed-vs-shadow classification, identity-aware governance, runtime enforcement, and audit-ready evidence are available today; granular runtime guardrails and local anomaly detection arrive in the second half of 2026.
Does the Morphisec platform map to AIUC-1?
Morphisec AI Usage Control maps to AIUC-1 controls across all six pillars, and is the direct control on the nine that land at the execution layer: A003, B006, B007, B008, D003, E009, E010, E015, F001. Morphisec is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified under AIUC-1. This is a capability mapping, not a certification.
What is Data Exfiltration Control?
Data Exfiltration Control stops the data theft that drives double and triple extortion. It works in two layers on one agent: an included, always-on layer that blocks ransomware-driven data theft across the top MITRE ATT&CK exfiltration techniques with no tuning, and an add-on that applies policy-driven governance to the dual-use tools attackers and insiders use to move data out, AzCopy, WinSCP, RClone, FileZilla, MegaSync, AWS CLI and more. It inspects no content and requires no classifiers: decisions are made on process context and network destination.
What is Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD)?
Automated Moving Target Defense is Morphisec’s patented technology that morphs application memory at load time. Legitimate code knows where its resources are; malicious code does not. Exploits and in-memory attacks hit a target that is not where they expect and fail deterministically, with no signatures, no prior knowledge of the threat, and less than 1% performance impact.
Which operating systems does the Morphisec platform support?
Morphisec protects Windows, Windows ARM, macOS, and Linux on a single lightweight agent, managed in the Morphisec Security Center. Windows and Windows ARM run the full prevention-first stack including AMTD runtime morphing. MacOS and Linux deliver prevention-first ransomware and data exfiltration protection.
Does Morphisec replace my EDR?
No. Morphisec adds a prevention layer beneath the EDR, NGAV, or XDR you already run: including Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Palo Alto, Bitdefender, Sophos, Trend Micro, and Arctic Wolf. It catches the attacks that bypass detection-based tools and protects their integrity so detection keeps working. EDR tells you what happened; Morphisec ensures it never does.
How disruptive is deployment?
The Morphisec agent operates in user space, deploys in days, and requires no reboot. It uses less than 1% CPU, has no signatures to tune and no constant updates, and its local prevention keeps working even when cloud connectivity or management systems fail.
What is the Ransomware-Free Guarantee?
Morphisec backs its prevention with a Ransomware-Free Guarantee: a 100% money-back assurance, full reimbursement of subscription fees if a ransomware breach occurs on a protected endpoint, plus a dedicated Morphisec Incident Response team for rapid containment, forensic investigation, and remediation.
