# Aegis Vision

*/Startups/Aegis_Vision*

## Startup Overview

Critical infrastructure operators secure sprawling facilities where perimeter monitoring typically relies on scattered human attention. This headless computer vision agent directly ingests uncompressed CCTV streams from existing hardware to identify unauthorized human access or unbadged vehicles. Instead of requiring constant screen-watching, it pushes verified threat clips straight to active guard dispatch channels.

Legacy platforms and standard motion sensors flood security desks with false alarms triggered by wildlife, changing light, or severe weather. The system bypasses these limitations through precision escalation at active scale, continuously auditing thousands of concurrent video feeds without fatigue. It aggressively filters out environmental artifacts to isolate verified physical breaches, ensuring response teams deploy solely for actual threats rather than investigating blowing debris.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that analyzes on-screen activity to visually detect data exfiltration attempts
**Competitors**:

- [Proofpoint Insider Threat](/Competitors/Proofpoint_Insider_Threat)
- [manual log audits](/Competitors/manual_log_audits)
**Differentiator2x2**: capable of visual context understanding and completely independent of file metadata

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 30-day proof-of-concept on 50 endpoints designed to successfully detect all simulated visual exfiltration tests (like unauthorized copy-pasting of sensitive UI elements) to validate the deployment guarantee.
- A 14-day shadow deployment alongside a legacy DLP tool aiming to prove the agent catches at least one visual data exfiltration event from an unmanaged app that bypasses existing file-level rules entirely.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 95 percent detection rate for screen-capture and mobile-camera exfiltration attempts during customer sandbox testing.
- Aim: Less than 2 percent endpoint CPU utilization during active visual analysis by the local agent.
- Target: 100 percent detection of simulated visual data leaks from unmanaged web applications that bypass traditional file-level rules.
- Aim: Zero raw video stored or streamed, with 100 percent of captured exfiltration frames localized and heavily blurred.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized healthcare provider: Targeting the transition from blind spots on SaaS portals to actively detecting patient data screen scraping without relying on file tags.
- Financial services call center: Aiming to replace intrusive full-video monitoring with privacy-preserving localized frame capture that identifies mobile phone camera captures of sensitive screens.
- Distributed technology firm: Targeting the identification of unmanaged web app data leaks where legacy DLP fails, while maintaining endpoint CPU consumption below 2 percent.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Chief Information Security Officer: Expressing relief at finally achieving visibility into external web-portal scraping without the false positives associated with legacy metadata-based DLP.
- VP of IT Operations: Highlighting the lightweight nature of the on-device agent and noting zero employee complaints about CPU lag during dynamic visual frame sampling.
- Data Privacy Officer: Validating the privacy-first architecture by confirming the system strictly captures blurred frames only when exfiltration behavior is explicitly triggered.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Strict privacy regulations and employee works councils block the deployment of continuous screen-monitoring agents. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Continuous local computer vision inference spikes endpoint CPU and GPU usage, prompting IT admins to uninstall the agent. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Benign visual workflows trigger high false-positive alert rates that quickly overwhelm security operation center analysts. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Insider threats bypass the visual detection model by photographing the screen with external hardware. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
