Introducing Shine:
At Shine we believe that mobile protection is a basic digital right.
That’s why we created a new kind of antivirus where unprecedented protection and graceful design meets and keeps-up with today’s threats and devices. We are in fact, a mobile-first antivirus company.
Shipping first on Android, once installed, Shine runs in the background detecting threats in real time.
By running an ensemble of Machine Learning, Deterministic and Predictive algorithms to analyze, forecast, and block threats, Shine stops viruses and other malware from inflicting damage on users’ devices.
What Are Shine’s Antivirus Innovations?
Detection & Blocking:
Our first innovation is in the way we approach detection & blocking:
Let’s say you wake up this morning with the flu. Well, you didn’t actually get sick today, you just realized you’re sick today. Were sensors placed across your physiology three days ago, we would have noticed that your temperature started rising by 0.1%, that you’re body started producing white blood cells at a higher rate, and that your muscles began to slowly, almost un-noticeably, ache.
Very minute changes, but ones that could be foretelling, of an impending flu. And that’s exactly how Shine instruments mobile devices.
Shine listens to each and every event, picking-up every minute change. Then, and in real-time Shine runs an ensemble of Machine Learning, Deterministic and Predictive algorithms to analyze, forecast, and block threats, before they actually inflict damage.
In simple terms, Shine fights fire with fire.. Instead of signatures, we use Artificial Intelligence.
We also put a lot of emphasis on UX to veil all the sophistication under the hood. Blocking malicious activity with Shine really is as gentle as blowing a dandelion in the wind.
Entity in Motion(™):
Our second innovation is in the way Shine watches over users holistically. For us there is no ‘Work John’, or ‘ Home John’. For us there is ‘John at Work’, and ‘John at Home’. There is only one John. If something suspicious is happening on John’ tablet at home, it absolutely has relevance to John’s work device.
Self-Healing
Shine’s third innovation is that we inject self-healing functionality into the OS. This means that once Shine is installed, the OS will be able to mend and regenerate damage caused by malware and viruses on their way to achieve their objective. This is literally like Wolverine’s Adamantium.
