ZeroDwell Containment — Zero Dwell Time

In short

What is ZeroDwell containment?

What it is

A kernel-level isolation technology that runs every unknown file inside a virtual container. The program works normally for the user, but with no real access to disk, registry or system memory.

How it works

Every executable is classified: known-good runs free, known-bad is blocked, and anything unknown is contained automatically. Verdict analysis runs in parallel, without slowing the user or exposing the endpoint.

Who it's for

Companies across Latin America that cannot afford ransomware dwell time: banking, healthcare, retail, manufacturing and government, with or without an in-house security team.

What problem it solves

It eliminates the window between malware execution and its detection — the 'dwell time' where encryption and theft happen. If it never touches the real system, there is no damage to remediate.

Capabilities

Containment by default, not detection by hope

Kernel isolationDisk-write, registry and COM virtualization for the unknown.

Cloud verdictStatic and dynamic analysis that resolves the file within minutes.

No frictionThe user works with no blocks or confirmation prompts.

Integrated EDRTelemetry and response on the same agent that contains.

Why it matters

What your operation gains

Ransomware neutralized at execution, before any encryption.
Zero signature dependency: zero-day attacks are contained all the same.
Fewer alerts to investigate: the unknown is already neutralized, not queued.
Integrates with the SGS 24/7 SOC and NOC for managed response.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does ZeroDwell replace my antivirus?

It replaces and integrates it: antivirus, EDR and containment in a single agent. Containment covers exactly what traditional antivirus misses — the unknown.

Does it affect endpoint performance?

The container is lightweight and transparent: the user perceives no blocks. Only the unknown is virtualized, not already-trusted applications.

What if an unknown file turns out to be legitimate?

It runs normally inside the container while the verdict resolves; once confirmed safe, it is released with no user intervention.

Does SGS manage it for us?

Yes. SGS deploys, monitors and responds from its 24/7 SOC on its own datacenter in Costa Rica, as part of Security 360°.

Zero dwell time. Unknown malware runs contained — never on your network.
