Ryzome provides runtime security and forensics for virtualised environments by using hypervisor‑level instrumentation and virtual machine introspection to monitor guest activity without agents. The platform captures real‑time system calls, process and memory activity, correlates events with MITRE ATT&CK and threat intel, and stores immutable forensic evidence for rapid detection, response, and compliance. It offers a tamper‑resistant, out‑of‑band monitoring layer that integrates with existing security stacks while leaving no footprint inside the VMs.

Problem
Traditional security tools for virtualised environments rely on agents inside VMs or periodic, network‑based snapshots, which can be detected, disabled, or provide incomplete visibility. This leaves workloads vulnerable to stealthy, kernel‑level or fileless attacks that evade or tamper with existing defenses.
Solution
Ryzome Security Monitor delivers runtime security and forensics for virtual machines by instrumenting the hypervisor and using virtual machine introspection (VMI). Operating entirely outside guest VMs, it provides continuous, real‑time monitoring of system calls, process execution, memory access, and other low‑level activity without any in‑guest footprint. The platform correlates events against MITRE ATT&CK techniques, threat‑intel feeds, and custom rules to generate high‑fidelity alerts as soon as malicious behavior is observed. Collected evidence—including command histories, executed binaries, and encryption keys—is stored in an immutable, external database for forensic analysis and threat‑intelligence enrichment. Integration APIs allow the telemetry to feed existing security stacks, enhancing detection, response, and compliance while remaining invisible and tamper‑resistant.
Target Audience
Primary customers are security teams in enterprises and service providers that run critical workloads on virtualised infrastructure—such as cloud operators, data center managers, and managed security service providers—who need stealthy, real‑time detection and forensic readiness for their VMs.
Features
- Hypervisor‑level instrumentation (Ryzome Exovision™) provides agentless, out‑of‑band monitoring that cannot be detected or disabled by in‑guest threats
- Real‑time capture of system calls, process execution, memory manipulation, and kernel activity with high‑fidelity telemetry
- Continuous threat detection using MITRE ATT&CK mapping, third‑party intel feeds, and customizable detection rules
- Automatic collection and immutable storage of forensic artifacts (processes, command‑line history, executables, TLS/SSH keys) for incident response and threat hunting
- Kernel integrity monitoring to detect exploits and privileged‑access attempts with low false‑positive rates
- API and integration framework for feeding data into SIEM, SOAR, and other security tools
- Zero deployment footprint inside guest VMs, reducing management overhead and ensuring full VM coverage at scale
