We stop what AI Agents do
1stProtect stops credential theft, EDR killers and harmful actions by attackers, scripts and AI agents on the device, before they complete, online or offline. Start beside your current EDR, then replace it, and the tools around it, when you’re ready.
Free for 30 days on up to 10 devices. Nothing is blocked until you switch it on. Plans from $30 per device a year.
Online. Every decision is still made on the device.

“After comparing multiple EDR and endpoint security solutions … we decided to adopt 1stProtect.”
Control your AIs and LLMs.
Coding agents, copilots and local LLMs run with your users’ permissions. 1stProtect decides what each one may do on the device, action by action, whether or not anyone registered it.
Same login. Different actor. Different authority.

Start beside your EDR. Replace it on your terms.
Land without changing anything. Switch on prevention. Retire your EDR and the tools around it when the evidence is in.

See plansOthers observe. We prevent.
Most endpoint tools spot suspicious software and raise an alert. Newer AI-agent tools start by finding and naming every agent. 1stProtect asks a simpler question at the moment it matters: should this action happen at all? It starts beside the tools you run today, and replaces them when you’re ready.
Same attack. Three outcomes.
Detection tools report first and hope someone responds in time. 1stProtect prevents first, then reports.
| Protection | A script arrives in a phishing attachment and runs as the signed-in user. | It opens the browser password store and the saved VPN profile. | It copies the credentials into an archive in a temporary folder. | It uploads the archive to a file-sharing site. | The stolen logins open the VPN from another country. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gen 1AntivirusMatches known bad files. Anything new gets through. | Runs | Runs | Runs | Runs | Happens, unnoticed | Breach, and no alert. |
| Gen 2EDRWatches, alerts and responds, after the action has run. | Runs | Runs | Runs | Alert raised | Happens while the alert waits | The alert arrives after the credentials have left. |
| Gen 31stProtectPrevents first, then reports what it stopped. | Runs, nothing harmful yet | Prevented on the device | Reported, with the full story | Never happens | Never happens | Prevented first, then reported. Nothing to clean up. |
Step 1: Script starts A script arrives in a phishing attachment and runs as the signed-in user.
- Attack step succeeds
- Alert raised
- Prevented on the device
- Reported
- Never happens

Resolved on the device, long before it reaches the SOC.
Detection-first tools collect telemetry, raise an alert and wait for an analyst, anywhere from minutes to days later. 1stProtect resolves the threat inline, on the device, at the moment it happens. Its AI investigator then explains what was stopped, so your team reviews a closed case instead of chasing an open one.
- ActionAn attacker, script or agent acts
- TelemetryEvents are sent for analysis
- DetectionRules and models flag it
- Alert queueIt waits for an analyst
- ResponseTriage, contain, reset
Watch it stop a credential theft.
A script on a protected device tries to copy five kinds of saved credentials. Every copy is blocked before it completes.
- Watch every risky actionReading passwords and keys, starting programs, running scripts, opening connections.
- Decide on the deviceEach action and its target are judged locally by one on-host Sigma engine, with no trip to the cloud.
- Stop the harmful onesHarmful actions are blocked before they complete. Everything else runs as normal, and the console records why.
What happens in the video
The script goes after a password vault, browser cookies, FTP and VPN profiles and an SSH key. Each copy is blocked before it completes and the user sees a short notice. The console records each attempt with the full chain from device to file.
Real console, demo environment.
A dedicated engine for every step an attack needs.
One lightweight agent. Each engine stops one kind of harmful action.

LateralProtect
One agent that keeps growing.
Every release adds coverage to the same agent, with no new install. Teams use it to retire separate tools one at a time, so they manage fewer vendors, pay for fewer licences and run fewer agents on every device.
Fewer vendors to manage
One contract, one console and one support line instead of several.
Lower total cost
Retire overlapping licences as coverage arrives, instead of buying another product for each new need.
One footprint
One install, one update cycle and one policy model on every device.
Lighter devices
Fewer agents competing for CPU, memory and disk on each machine.
1stProtect covers 3 of the 4 tools you picked, today.
That’s up to 3 agents you could retire from every device, along with the contracts behind them.
1 more is on the roadmap, in the same agent.
Your EDR: start beside it, then retire it in stages once 1stProtect covers what you rely on.
Coverage means 1stProtect has an engine for that need. Compare features with your requirements before you retire a tool.
Starts beside your EDR. Replaces it when you’re ready.
Install beside the tools you run today, with no kernel driver to collide. Prove it on your own devices, then retire your EDR and the point tools around it, one at a time.
- AuditInstall on up to 10 devices in audit mode and get a report of everything it would have blocked.
- EnforceMove engines from Detect to Prevent, policy by policy.
- ConsolidateRetire the tools 1stProtect makes redundant. One agent replaces several.
Does 1stProtect replace my EDR?
Yes, in stages. It starts beside your current EDR and adds prevention at the moment of action. Once it’s proven on your devices, you retire your EDR and the overlapping tools.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Every prevention decision is made on the device, so protection continues on disconnected and air-gapped machines. The AI investigator needs a connection today.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $30 per device per year. The price depends on the bundle, device type, number of devices and term. See plans.
See what it would have stopped.
Run 1stProtect free for 30 days on up to 10 of your own devices. You get a report of everything it would have blocked, and nothing changes until you decide.
