Key Benefits of AppMoat

Cybersecurity Built for Defense Contractors: Stop Breaches Before They Jeopardize Missions

Seamless Augmentation of EDR Solutions

AppMoat fills gaps in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools by blocking unknown executable code before it runs.

AppMoat operates beyond behavioral analysis, immediately stopping malicious code while ensuring legitimate applications remain accessible.

Lightweight and Easy to Deploy

AppMoat’s small agent installs quickly on Windows desktops, laptops, and servers, including legacy systems like Windows XP.

Requires minimal maintenance with on-the-fly processing at endpoints, reducing IT workload and management overhead.

Cloud or On-Prem Flexibility

AppMoat Cloud handles threat validation seamlessly for organizations needing scalability across multiple locations.

AppMoat On-Prem provides local control for high-security environments requiring strict data sovereignty.

Legacy System Support

Protects outdated Windows systems (e.g., XP, Server 2003) still used in defense operations, closing critical security gaps.

Enables secure operation of legacy devices without requiring expensive hardware or software upgrades.

Why the Defense Industry and Government Contractors Are High-Risk Targets for Ransomware

Sensitive National Security Data: Defense contractors and government agencies handle classified information, making them prime targets for cyber espionage and ransomware.

Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Interconnected networks with subcontractors and suppliers increase the risk of malware infiltration through third-party access points.

High Stakes for Downtime: Cyberattacks can disrupt critical operations, delay defense projects, and compromise national security, leading to catastrophic consequences.

Attack Scenario: Compromised Vendor Credentials

Attack: Hackers steal a vendor’s VPN credentials, infiltrate a defense contractor’s network, and deploy ransomware on servers storing classified UAV designs and flight control systems. The attack threatens encrypted data loss, extortion, and delayed military project timelines.

AppMoat Mitigation: AppMoat flags the ransomware as an unknown unapproved application, halting execution immediately. UAV data stays protected, operations proceed, and compromised vendor access is revoked. Unknown = Unapproved
