Company Overview

Hyperwise built exploit prevention technology aimed at stopping advanced attacks before they execute successfully, with emphasis on runtime protection against memory-corruption and zero-day-style techniques.

The company was founded in Israel, raised venture backing, and was acquired by Check Point in 2015. Its technical focus aligned with enterprise demand for prevention-first controls beyond signature-based detection.

Dual-use relevance is high: runtime exploit prevention supports both commercial infrastructure and defense-adjacent systems where high-consequence compromise requires proactive mitigation.

Dual-Use Assessment

Runtime exploit prevention is dual-use for enterprise cyber defense and mission-critical defense-adjacent system protection.

Key Technologies

  • Runtime exploit mitigation
  • Memory attack prevention
  • Zero-day-style attack disruption
  • Host-level protection telemetry
  • Pre-execution threat blocking mechanisms

Use Cases & Applications

  • Blocking advanced endpoint/server exploits
  • Reducing zero-day exploit success rates
  • Strengthening host-level prevention controls
  • Supporting high-assurance cyber protection in regulated sectors
  • Improving defense-adjacent system survivability against advanced threats

Strategic Value to U.S.-Israel Alliance

Reinforces prevention-oriented cyber capabilities aligned with allied resilience against advanced adversary tradecraft.
