Endpoint Detection & Response That Weighs Less Than a Photo
A 9MB agent that runs on everything from Windows Server to ARM-based IoT devices. 242 MITRE ATT&CK detection rules, zero performance impact, and dual-active communications for resilient coverage.
Why This Matters
Traditional EDR agents are bloated — 200-500MB installs that degrade system performance, conflict with legacy applications, and fail on resource-constrained devices.
Most endpoint solutions don't cover the full attack surface: Linux servers, FreeBSD firewalls, ARM-based IoT devices, and legacy Windows systems are often left unprotected.
Air-gapped environments need endpoint protection that works without cloud connectivity. Foreign EDR products phone home, exposing telemetry to overseas servers.
ZShield EDR
ZShield is a 9MB cross-platform agent with 242 MITRE ATT&CK detection rules. It covers Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and ARM architectures with file integrity monitoring, vulnerability scanning, process monitoring, and network tracking — all with zero internet dependency.
Key Capabilities
242 ATT&CK Detection Rules
Comprehensive rule set covering Initial Access through Impact. Aligned to MITRE ATT&CK framework.
File Integrity Monitoring
Real-time detection of file modifications, additions, and deletions across critical system paths.
Vulnerability Scanning
Agentless and agent-based scanning. CVE matching with EPSS scoring for risk-based prioritization.
Process Monitoring
Track process creation, injection, privilege escalation, and lateral movement in real-time.
Network Tracking
Monitor network connections, detect C2 beaconing, and map lateral movement patterns.
Anti-Tamper Protection
Self-protecting agent with integrity verification and tamper-resistant configuration.
Dual-Active Comms
Two independent communication channels (Tentacles + ISP fallback) for reliable connectivity even under attack.
24 Binary Variants
Compiled for Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, ARM. Auto-selects the right binary for each platform.
Use Cases
Real-world scenarios where ZShield EDR delivers measurable impact.
Defence Endpoint Hardening
Scenario: A defence organisation needs endpoint protection across heterogeneous systems — Windows workstations, Linux servers, and ARM-based field devices — in an air-gapped network.
Outcome: ZShield deploys a 9MB agent across all platforms with dual-active comms, providing unified visibility without any internet dependency. FIM alerts on critical system changes within seconds.
Critical Infrastructure OT Endpoints
Scenario: A utility needs to monitor engineering workstations and HMI systems without impacting real-time SCADA operations.
Outcome: ZShield's lightweight agent runs alongside SCADA software with zero performance impact. Process monitoring detects unauthorized application execution. FIM tracks configuration changes.
Enterprise-Wide Vulnerability Management
Scenario: A bank needs continuous vulnerability assessment across 5,000 endpoints with risk-based prioritization aligned to RBI guidelines.
Outcome: ZShield's built-in scanner identifies CVEs across all endpoints. EPSS scoring prioritizes the 3% of vulnerabilities that are actively exploited, reducing patch cycles by 70%.

Why Choose ZShield EDR
9MB agent — 20-50x smaller than competitors. Runs on resource-constrained devices that other agents can't.
5 platform support including FreeBSD and ARM — true cross-platform, not just Windows/Linux.
Built for air-gapped operations with dual-active communications (Tentacles + ISP fallback).
242 MITRE ATT&CK rules — not generic signatures. Every rule maps to a specific technique.
