Our Mission
We believe cybersecurity should be autonomous, verifiable, and local. HELIX is building the future of runtime defense — from the kernel out — to protect critical Linux infrastructure without cloud dependence, third-party agents, or noisy alert fatigue.
Our Story
HELIX started as a hard technical question: “What if we could detect zero-day behavior directly from system calls — no agents, no signatures, no cloud?”
Founded by a CISO-BISO team with roots in incident response, embedded Linux, and machine learning. We built HELIX to spot what others miss: subtle runtime deviations, forked processes hiding in plain sight, and malicious logic embedded in signed binaries.
Our stack runs offline, at speed, and under load — delivering trust where it matters most.
HELIX is founded by a team of seasoned builders, security leaders, and operators with backgrounds at the frontlines of cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure.
-
Ex-Palo Alto Networks, Cisco — with hands-on experience building products that protect Fortune 500s, nation states, and hyperscalers.
-
Led incident response during live breaches, built agentless security platforms, and deployed kernel-level defenses in production environments.
-
From red teaming high-security Linux fleets to writing hardened Rust and eBPF code — we’ve done the work ourselves.
-
Previously scaled security products from zero to enterprise-wide adoption across regulated and air-gapped environments.
We're not chasing buzzwords. We're solving a real problem in a way no one else has — by securing Linux from the kernel up, with the developer in mind.
