About

Here's the Hybrid Detection Engine description at ~250 words:

The Hybrid Detection Engine™ is Varist's flagship cybersecurity technology — an AI-scale malware detection solution built to counter the growing threat of AI-generated and agentic malware. Unlike traditional signature-based tools and sandboxes, which struggle with the volume and sophistication of modern threats, the Hybrid Detection Engine scans and simulates every file in real time, at hyperscale.

Performance at Scale

Built on proven technology performing more than 500 billion file scans per day, each detection instance processes approximately 500 files per second, analyzing suspicious files in under nine milliseconds. The engine maintains a false positive rate below 0.001 percent, ensuring security teams are not overwhelmed with noise while genuine threats are caught with precision. It simulates threats 1,000 times faster than conventional sandboxes, at a fraction of the cost.

Privacy by Design

The Hybrid Detection Engine operates entirely within a customer's own infrastructure — sensitive files never leave the environment. This on-premise, privacy-first architecture gives organisations full control over data sovereignty and compliance, making it particularly well suited for regulated industries and public sector deployments.

Intelligence-Driven Detection

Drawing on a malware dataset exceeding three petabytes, the engine uses behavioral simulation to assign automated risk scores, helping security operations teams prioritize investigations and respond faster to real threats.

Easy Integration

Varist's flexible OEM model allows hyperscalers, SASE providers, and cybersecurity vendors to integrate the Hybrid Detection Engine within hours, enabling rapid deployment at scale.
