Stop Ransomware Before the First File Drops

A lightweight Windows agent built for one job — terminating ransomware before encryption begins. Score processes on-device, kill in under 100 milliseconds, forward every alert to your SIEM in parallel.

Why procSniper exists

Ransomware Isn't an Alert Problem. It's a Milliseconds Problem.

Generic endpoint security was built to detect a broad class of threats. Ransomware exploits every millisecond of that compromise.

1

It moves faster than your verdict.

Cloud-dependent EDR can take seconds to return a verdict. Modern ransomware uses that window to encrypt thousands of files — and the alert fires after the damage is done.

76%

of ransomware attacks resulted in data being encrypted in 2024.

2

It walks past your signature engine.

Signature AV is blind to ransomware it has never seen. Novel families, rebrands, and packers slip through unscored — and there is a new one every week.

$2.73M

average ransomware recovery cost per incident — downtime, data loss, and IR combined.

3

It outprices your security budget.

CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Defender for Business carry per-seat costs and operational overhead that lean SMB, MSSP, and SOC teams cannot justify — yet small teams are exactly who ransomware targets.

32%

of all reported breaches in 2024 involved ransomware or extortion.

What's inside the agent

Precision Over Breadth.

procSniper is not a general-purpose EDR. It is a dedicated prevention layer engineered to catch encryption-stage ransomware in the milliseconds your existing stack needs to file an alert.

Built for the prevention gap

Local ML inference

A 14-feature behavioral vector is scored by an ONNX Random Forest model entirely on-device. No telemetry leaves the endpoint.

Sub-100ms process kill

Event capture to process termination in under 100 milliseconds — faster than any cloud verdict round-trip.

Behavioral detection

Catches novel and zero-day ransomware families by behavior, not signature. No reliance on known IOCs or vendor updates.

Canary file honeypots

Seeded decoy files across the filesystem trigger instant kills the moment ransomware touches them — before meaningful encryption.

Three detection modes

Run rules-only, ML-only, or hybrid. Start in audit mode, tune allowlists, then switch to protect — no pipeline changes required.

Wazuh & SIEM ready

RFC 5424 syslog drops straight into Wazuh, Elastic, Splunk, or any compliant receiver. Zero custom parsing or integration work.

Offline-first architecture

Runs fully air-gapped. No telemetry, no cloud check-in, no kill switch. Protection survives network outages and isolated networks.

Community-driven

Read the code. Audit the model. File an issue. procSniper ships in the open — no vendor lock-in, no opaque black box, and a community that shows up.

How it works

Monitor. Analyze. Respond.

A three-stage pipeline that runs entirely on the endpoint, with no cloud dependency anywhere in the critical path.

01

Kernel telemetry

Monitor

The agent taps Windows ETW and Security event logs to capture process creation, file I/O, registry changes, and network events in real time — all on-device, all without a kernel driver of its own.

02

On-device ML

Analyze

Each process is represented as a 14-feature behavioral vector and scored by a locally-loaded ONNX Random Forest classifier. No cloud round-trip. Verdict in milliseconds.

03

Autonomous kill

Respond

When the score crosses threshold, the agent terminates or suspends the offending process before encryption spreads — and forwards the alert to Wazuh or your SIEM in parallel.

Two minutes. One ransomware sample. The agent catches it, scores it, and terminates the process before encryption begins.

Better together

procSniper + Your EDR.

procSniper is a prevention layer, not an EDR replacement. It plugs in alongside the stack you already trust — and closes the gap that generic endpoint security was never designed to cover.

Catches what your EDR misses.

Generic EDR is built to cover a broad threat surface. procSniper is built for one — encryption-stage ransomware. The behavioral model is trained only on ransomware patterns, so it scores faster and catches families your EDR has never seen.

Runs in parallel, not in conflict.

No kernel driver of its own, no signature engine to collide with, no hook chain to fight over. procSniper coexists with Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Cortex — both layers watch different signals, and neither blocks the other.

Forwards everything to your SIEM.

Every score, kill, and canary trigger streams out as RFC 5424 syslog. Wazuh, Elastic, Splunk, or any compliant receiver picks it up alongside your EDR telemetry — one unified incident view, zero custom parsing.
