About indexengines

indexengines is a cybersecurity company specializing in ransomware protection through its flagship product CyberSense. The company focuses on data integrity validation and ransomware detection using AI-driven indexing and comparison technology. Its solutions are integrated with major storage providers including Dell PowerProtect, IBM Storage Sentinel, and Infinidat InfiniSafe.

What does indexengines do?

The company's primary offering, CyberSense, monitors files and databases to detect ransomware corruption through data integrity analysis. The platform performs comprehensive scans of backup data, creating point-in-time observations of files, databases, and core infrastructure. Through its indexing and comparison technology, CyberSense tracks file changes over time to identify potential data corruption. The system employs over 200 content-based analytics and machine learning models trained on ransomware variants to detect signs of malicious activity.

When corruption is detected, CyberSense provides detailed forensic reports that diagnose the extent of damage, identify affected systems, and locate the most recent clean versions of compromised files. The platform supports various data types including production databases, unstructured user files, and core infrastructure components like Active Directory and LDAP. Processing speeds reach up to 50 TB per hour per node when scanning comprehensive datasets.

What makes indexengines different?

A key technical differentiator is the platform's data validation approach. Rather than relying solely on traditional security measures, CyberSense analyzes the actual content and integrity of files and databases. This method enables detection of sophisticated attacks that might evade conventional security tools. The platform validates data in popular backup formats without requiring rehydration, which helps maintain efficiency during the scanning process.

The company provides a 99.99% service level agreement for ransomware detection accuracy, validated through testing against real-world scenarios. In testing conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group, the platform detected ransomware corruption with only three false negatives out of 94,100 infected samples. This capability extends to detecting infection in SQL database pages, which some competing solutions cannot identify according to third-party testing.

Another distinguishing factor is the platform's integration capabilities with major enterprise storage solutions. Through partnerships with Dell, IBM, and Infinidat, CyberSense integrates directly with these vendors' storage platforms to provide automated monitoring and protection of stored data. The solution supports both primary and secondary storage platforms, including backups, virtual images, and block-based environments.

Use cases and industries

The platform serves various sectors including financial services, healthcare, government, and education. For example, Founders Federal Credit Union utilizes CyberSense for iterative data analysis to ensure critical data integrity. The Gilbert Arizona Government employs the platform to monitor their data state and protect against cyber threats. Educational institutions like Moreno Valley Schools leverage the indexing and comparison technology for data protection.

Organizations typically deploy CyberSense as part of their cyber resilience strategy, particularly for protecting critical business data and ensuring rapid recovery capabilities after attacks. The platform supports enterprise-scale deployments, with the ability to process petabytes of data using a single node and support for multiple nodes in federated environments. Daily monitoring reports provide real-time insights into data security status, enabling organizations to quickly identify and respond to potential threats.
