00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.659
Ransomware is a malicious piece of
software that once it lands on your

00:00:03.659 --> 00:00:08.040
computer will encrypt all of your files
to make it such that you can't open your

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:12.540
files anymore. So, your important
documents from taxes to

00:00:12.540 --> 00:00:17.640
let's say your photographs of your
family. They all are essentially taken

00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:22.230
away from you and unless you pay them a
ransom, hence ransomeware,

00:00:22.230 --> 00:00:25.830
you won't be able to ever get access to
those files again. These attacks are

00:00:25.830 --> 00:00:27.119
tailored and unique

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:31.859
every time that they get installed on
someone's system. These pieces of malware

00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:35.940
have never been seen before and
antivirus is really good at detecting

00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:39.930
and stopping things that have been seen
before. And that's where our solution is

00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:44.550
better than traditional antiviruses
because we're only looking at the

00:00:44.550 --> 00:00:49.020
changes that are happening in real time
and so if something that is benign

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:53.640
starts to behave maliciously
than what we can do is take action

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.660
against that so that we can stop, for
example, all of your pictures from being

00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:00.629
encrypted or all of your documents from
being encrypted.

00:01:00.629 --> 00:01:05.580
We have a working prototype that works
for Windows-based systems and we're

00:01:05.580 --> 00:01:10.650
looking for commercial partners to help
us turn that from a research concept into

00:01:10.650 --> 00:01:14.130
a commercializable asset.

00:01:14.130 --> 00:01:15.540
yeah
