Simbiota
open-source IoT nano agent
SUMMARY
This nano agent detects and blocks malware on IoT devices. This is possible because it has a radically small memory footprint - under 10MB - and minimal computational overhead. Simbiota runs as a background process and finds 98% of known malware, therefore it immunizes your IoT platform against potential threats.
​
Raspberry malware protection is now available for everyone with Simbiota. Our mission is to make it available on all IoT and OT platforms.
Features
lightweight
Simbiota uses so little memory and CPU that it doesn't interfere with the normal operation of your device. The size of database updates is also small, making bandwidth consumption minimal.
98% true positive
It provides considerable detection capability. It detects every sample that has been seen by the antivirus company and beyond.
no false positives
In our experiments, we did not experience any false positives yet, so it will not quarantine files that are necessary for operation. However, you can still set exception folders that are not checked.
scientific research
This product is based on several years of research, the results of which, together with metrics and data, are available here >>
similarity-based detection
Simbiota can detect previously unseen samples that happen to be similar to a known sample.
thorough
Malware is checked every time you access a file for reading and execution.
no cloud comm
Your privacy is guaranteed, because all detection is done locally, there is no cloud communication (except for the database updates).
opensource
You have the opportunity to check what you install on your device.
commercial license available
