Detect Threat Signals
within Encrypted Traffic

No decryption · Earlier signals · Better visibility

The Problem

Encrypted by default

Most enterprise traffic is HTTPS. Payloads are opaque at scale, and decryption is often off the table for privacy and compliance.

Malware hides in TLS

Adversaries increasingly deliver malware over HTTPS/TLS to bypass legacy inspection.

Many modern attacks now operate over encrypted channels.

Slow detection hurts

On average, breaches still take months to uncover and contain, driving higher cost and impact.

Our Approach

Generative AI, not signatures

GAN-based models learn patterns from encrypted flow behaviour, generalise from limited malware samples, and support expanded family coverage as datasets grow.

Earlier signal, faster containment

Behavioural scoring surfaces suspicious encrypted sessions earlier, helping analysts accelerate investigation and containment across captured and monitored traffic.

Metadata, not payloads

We analyse SSL/TLS handshakes, ciphers, timing and flows without decrypting payloads, keeping content out of scope while preserving security signal.

Use Cases

Where BlackCrypt fits into incident response, threat hunting, lab evaluation and encrypted network visibility.

IR / SOC

Incident response & triage

Suspicious traffic: Get a fast AI-driven triage signal on encrypted sessions so you can decide how to respond.

Threat hunting

Retrospective analysis

Retrospective hunts: Review past captures to surface encrypted threat patterns your existing stack may have missed.

Lab / PoC

Lab & Evaluation

Lab testing: Evaluate encrypted-traffic detection on realistic traffic captures before you commit to a rollout.

Perimeter

Perimeter capture review

Internet-edge captures: Review north–south traffic captures for suspicious encrypted patterns at your perimeter.

VPN / Remote

Critical segments & remote access

High-value segments: Review VPN, DMZ and critical application traffic captures where payload inspection has limited TLS visibility.
