Next-Gen Ransomware Defense to Stop Advanced Attacks
With Arms Cyber, ransomware attacks don't stand a chance. Inventor of the first patented Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD), Arms Cyber stops undetectable, in-memory attacks at runtime—without performance impact or extra staffing. AMTD seamlessly fortifies NGAV, EDR, and XDR solutions, delivering proactive security with zero friction.
Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) is a revolutionary, proactive cybersecurity technique that confounds threat actors by fortifying systems while also making them unpredictable environments. By dynamically morphing runtime memory, AMTD creates a shifting attack surface that attackers can't exploit. This advanced security technique neutralizes ransomware, zero-day attacks, and fileless threats. Sometimes referred to as Moving Target Defense (MTD), it employs system polymorphism to conceal operating system and application targets, dramatically shrinking the attack surface while cutting security overhead.
Even with skyrocketing cybersecurity investments, cyberattacks continue to cost businesses billions and the threat of ransomware persists. That's because traditional defenses—like next generation antivirus (NGAV), endpoint protection platforms (EPP), and endpoint detection and response (EDR and XDR)—rely on known signatures and behavioral patterns, missing the sophisticated, undetectable attacks causing financial and reputational damage. AMTD eliminates this gap by making attacks impossible. Recognized by Gartner, AMTD ensures prevention-first security, blocking advanced threats before they execute. Here's how:
To gain initial access, attackers often use Living Off the Land (LOTL) techniques, which establish patterns that deviate significantly from normal operating procedures. Arms' Zero Trust policies identify and block these abnormal patterns before an attacker can leverage them to breach the system. Integrating AMTD at various layers introduces a level of diversity and dynamism, making it nearly impossible for attackers to gain actionable intelligence about their target.
To be successful, attackers must be able to move through the target system without raising any alarms. To prevent this, Arms Cyber integrates strategically placed deceptive tripwires with broader entropy analysis monitoring, which, combined with AMTD's dynamic navigation surface, enables you to detect and stop attackers earlier in the encryption process, before damage can spread.
Arms Cyber goes beyond traditional backup approaches with a novel hidden stealth archival system to enable immediate recovery of corrupted data, should a ransomware break occur. With further anti-tamper protections, attackers never gain exclusive access to your data, accelerating recovery and restoring business as usual in no time.
The traditional cybersecurity model is reactive, relying on detection and response. AMTD shifts the paradigm to proactive security, stopping attacks before they start. Key benefits include:
With Arms, the benefits begin immediately. In addition to the general features of an AMTD system, Arms integrates with your existing tools, installs in minutes, and delivers peace of mind right away.

Traditional malware relied on identifiable executables, allowing security tools like NGAV, EPP, EDR, and XDR to detect known threats. But attackers have evolved. Today's advanced threats operate in system memory at runtime, hijacking legitimate processes without leaving traces on disk—nearly invisible to traditional detection-based security.
AMTD continuously randomizes runtime memory, disrupting attack patterns and preventing threat actors from exploiting the same vulnerability twice, even on the same system—using an ultra-lightweight agent that proactively blocks malicious activity without generating excessive false positives or impacting performance.
Automated Moving Target Defense adopts the same techniques that threat actors rely on and flips them against the attackers. Think of a high-security building with constantly shifting hallways: every time an unauthorized person enters, the layout changes, preventing the intruder from navigating toward valuable assets. Authorized personnel always find a clear path to their destination.
AMTD continuously alters the runtime memory environment, preventing attackers from mapping out vulnerabilities or reusing exploits, while legitimate processes keep running without disruption—a dramatically more secure system, with fewer incidents and lower operational costs.
Moving Target Defense (MTD) is a preemptive cybersecurity strategy that continuously morphs system environments, making it nearly impossible for attackers to locate and exploit vulnerabilities.
Arms Cyber gives you the power to detect and stop attackers earlier in the kill chain, providing a more effective ransomware defense than any solution on the market today. Contact us for a demo today, and defend your organization from ransomware tomorrow.
