Cloud-first security approaches
Cloud-centric AI
- Can analyze usage or file data server-side
- Often depends on cloud-based analysis
- Protection may be limited without a connection
- Behavioral data may be transmitted

What sets us apart
An AI that stays with you.
Privacy isn’t a feature for us. It’s the foundation.
Protectstar AI
On-device AI
- Learns from millions of anonymous threat patterns
- File contents stay on your device
- Deep Detective™ also works offline
- Only anonymous hashes reach the AI Cloud
The architecture
Three layers.
One shield.
No single AI protects perfectly. That’s why ours works in three coordinated layers — on-device, distributed, and in the cloud.
On-device
Deep Detective™
Heuristic protection right on your device. Detects unknown attacks before they become active — even offline.
Explore Deep DetectiveDistributed
AI Life Rules
Once a new threat is detected, it is distributed worldwide in seconds. No update required.
Explore AI Life RulesGlobal
AI Cloud
Neural networks analyze behavior. Millions of signatures in milliseconds. Anonymous. Precise.
Explore AI CloudDeep Detective™
Your silent guardian.Always one step ahead.
Deep Detective™ works like a firewall — only smarter. Every request to access your camera or microphone is checked before it happens. Its heuristics also catch what no one has seen before.
Detected before they become active
HiddenAds Fake Apps Joker BankBots FinSpy Ransomware ExploitsAnalysis runs directly on your device. No connection required. What’s on your device stays there.
130 M attack signatures · as of April 2026
Unique in mobile security
An AI that vaccinates itself.
When a device anywhere in the world discovers a new threat, the AI Cloud distributes a defense rule worldwide — in under 60 seconds. Detected once. Protected everywhere.
AI Life Rules
One vaccine.
For all.
AI Life Rules are our malware vaccination system. While the AI analyzes new threats, it creates detection rules in real time — and distributes them worldwide.
If new spyware is discovered on a device in Sydney, the AI Cloud sends the detection rule to devices worldwide within seconds. That means you’re already protected in São Paulo before the attack reaches you.
- No update
- No restart
- No action required
AI Cloud
Intelligence in milliseconds.
The AI Cloud is our intelligence engine in the background. This is where we analyze patterns emerging across millions of devices — and anticipate what comes next.
Three models work together: CNN, RNN, and Gradient Boosting. As soon as one device sees something new, the cloud distributes a defense rule worldwide — in under 60 seconds.
Only hashes and patterns reach the AI Cloud. No file contents. No identities. Everything else stays with you.
Your battery won’t notice. Neither will your processor.
Transparency
What leaves your device?
A clear answer to the critical question — no fine print.
Are file contents uploaded?
No.
Is personal data used to train the AI?
No.
What can go to the AI Cloud?
Anonymous hashes, threat indicators, technical patterns.
Does protection work offline?
Yes — Deep Detective™ runs locally..
What is cloud communication used for?
Matching, rule distribution, and global threat intelligence.
Ten years of AI
Our AI since 2016.
We’ve been building adaptive protection since others were still just talking about it.
- 2016
The beginning
Adaptive protection becomes part of Protectstar’s DNA. Anti Spy launches with the first adaptive detection rules.
- 2020
AI Cloud goes live
Neural networks analyze behavior in milliseconds. Threat Extraction becomes standard.
- 2022
Deep Detective™
Heuristics move directly onto the device. The silent guardian now works offline, too.
- 2024
Dual Engine & AI Life Rules
Two AI layers work in parallel. One detection — worldwide protection in seconds. No update. No restart.
- 2026
Now
99.8% at AV-TEST. Zero false alarms. Anti Spy revalidated under DEKRA MASA L1. Honored with the AI Excellence Award. 55,664 APT attacks blocked worldwide.
