Welcome To Treacle Technologies
Who are we?
Treacle is a cybersecurity startup that was born out of the IHub program at FIRST, IIT Kanpur. Our prime focus is Defensive Security, ensuring that businesses stay safe in a constantly evolving digital world.
Our standout product is the AI-Based Proactive Defense System with in-built Deception. This service is designed to protect businesses even if their firewalls and defense layers have been breached. It works by tracking and analyzing attacker behavior in the early stages, then luring the attacker into a complex, containerized mirage network. This strategy keeps other systems safe and allows us to gather important data about the threat. This data is used to provide early warnings to SOC analysts, helping to prevent an attack before it takes place. The strategy we use is inspired by real-world warfare techniques, making it a crucial tool for organizations aiming to safeguard their critical networks.
We also provide a range of other services, including Customized Honeypot Solutions, Network and Host-Based Intrusion Detection Systems, Insider Threat Detection Systems, and OT Network Security Systems. Plus, we can conduct thorough Cyber Security Audits and help design effective security policies.
Our team at Treacle is composed of passionate professionals and experienced technical advisors who are committed to developing new and innovative cybersecurity solutions. With Treacle, you can be confident that your digital security is in good hands.
