Flexxon addresses AI cybersecurity limitations by embedding AI-driven threat detection directly into the hardware and firmware of its X-PHY SSD. The drive monitors data-access and read/write patterns in real time, automatically locking protected storage when ransomware or suspicious activity is detected. This hardware-first approach adds an autonomous storage-level defence that reduces reliance on operating-system controls and delayed human response.
Why do cyberattacks continue to occur in spite of significant investments pouring into the industry and the use of AI? It lies in the environment in which it is operating, according to our CEO Camellia Chan in this interview with e27.
She shares that there are three main problems in today’s cybersecurity approach: It is mainly software-based, reactive and overly reliant on human intervention.
“Finally, current solutions still rely heavily on human decision-making. For instance, for the user to determine if a threat is real or not, to decide if an email is legitimate or malicious and so on. This is a huge problem, and in fact, humans are responsible for over 95 per cent of data breaches. Why? Because we cannot possibly determine if a threat is legitimate or not, and even making that one mistake can lead to huge ramifications.”
This is why we designed the X-PHY SSD to address all three gaps in one simple piece of hardware.
