1stProtect.ai is a cybersecurity company focused on endpoint security through a unified, on-device enforcement platform. Their core offering centers on what they call the SIGMA engine — a single security engine designed to consolidate functions that would otherwise require multiple separate tools. Key platform characteristics: - The SIGMA engine hosts 22 distinct protection modules under one unified architecture, replacing what the company describes as six separate security engines - Enforcement operates entirely on the host device, with no dependency on cloud connectivity, enabling full functionality in offline, air-gapped, or cloud-connected environments - On-host AI forensics are executed locally on the device using what they term MCP AI forensics, rather than relying on remote processing - The platform is described as built on open standards The company positions its approach as a response to the limitations of legacy Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions, specifically citing the industry-reported average dwell time of 197 days for undetected threats. Their stated goal is to reduce this dwell time through real-time, autonomous enforcement at the device level. Target environments include scenarios where persistent cloud connectivity cannot be guaranteed, such as air-gapped networks and offline deployments, suggesting applicability in regulated industries, critical infrastructure, or operationally isolated environments. The company's vision centers on self-defending endpoints that operate independently of centralized cloud infrastructure.
