U-THWART

Watches your files and puts them back when something starts eating them.

Local-first endpoint defence: file healing, honeypots, script sandboxing — with nothing leaving the machine.

Some nasty programs sneak onto a computer and scramble every file so you can’t open them, then demand money to unscramble them.

U-THWART leaves out a few fake files as bait. Nothing should ever touch them — so the moment something does, U-THWART knows a thief is in the house, stops it, and puts back the files it already got to.

Why this one is different

Every mainstream endpoint tool phones home. “Local-only, nothing leaves the machine” is a real position for privacy-bound buyers — and it’s a promise that can be verified with a packet capture, which is the kind of claim worth making.
