Quantum Ventura now has a wholly-owned subsidiary called MetaGuard AI (http://metaguard.ai/) to commercialise CyberNeuroRT. Srini Vasan, President and CEO of Quantum Ventura is also President & CEO of MetaGuard AI.
So it will technically be MetaGuard AI (and not Quantum Ventura as announced on the BrainChip CES 2026 website https://brainchip.com/ces-2026/) showcasing live demonstrations of CyberNeuroRT at BrainChip’s Venetian Tower Exhibit Suite in Las Vegas from January 6-9.

By the way, Lockheed Martin is not named as a partner for the government-funded CyberNeuroRT project, only Penn State is.
Instead, cybersecurity specialists from Lockheed Martin merely had an advisory role, cf. today’s Business Wire article above:
“Developed through U.S. DOE (SBIR Phase 2) and MDA (SBIR Phase 1) federal funding, CyberNeuroRT brings defense-grade AI technology to commercial enterprises through flexible deployment options and unprecedented transparency.

CyberNeuroRT
Real-Time AI-Driven Network Detection & Response
CyberNeuroRT is an advanced Network Detection and Response (NDR) platform designed to provide real-time visibility, AI-powered threat detection, and rapid response across enterprise and multi-tenant environments.By combining machine learning with neuromorphic spiking neural networks (SNNs), CyberNeuroRT enables security teams to detect known, unknown, and evolving cyber threats with low latency, high accuracy, and scalable performance.
CyberNeuroRT is built for organizations that require continuous network protection without increasing operational complexity.
Why CyberNeuroRT
Modern cyberattacks are fast, adaptive, and increasingly difficult to detect using signature-based tools alone. Attackers blend into normal traffic, exploit timing gaps, and evade traditional defenses.CyberNeuroRT addresses these challenges by focusing on behavior, timing, and intent, allowing threats to be detected as they emerge, not after damage occurs.
Key Benefits
- Real-time detection of active threats
- Behavioral analysis beyond static signatures
- Reduced alert fatigue through high-confidence detections
- Scalable, multi-tenant architecture
- Support for automated and analyst-driven response
What CyberNeuroRT Does
CyberNeuroRT continuously analyzes network traffic and applies multiple AI techniques in parallel to identify malicious behavior and operational risk.At a high level, the platform: 1. Observes network activity in real time
2. Applies AI-driven behavioral analysis
3. Correlates events across time and protocols
4. Delivers actionable intelligence to analysts
5. Supports rapid containment and response
AI-Powered Threat Detection
CyberNeuroRT uses a combination of supervised and unsupervised machine learning models together with neuromorphic SNN inference to identify threats that bypass traditional security tools.Instead of relying solely on signatures, CyberNeuroRT analyzes: - Traffic patterns
- Behavioral deviations
- Temporal correlations
- Communication intent
This approach enables reliable detection even when attackers modify tools, infrastructure, or techniques.
Threats CyberNeuroRT Is Designed to Detect
CyberNeuroRT’s AI models are trained to recognize a wide range of real-world attack behaviors commonly observed in enterprise networks, including:- Ransomware activity
Indicators such as anomalous encryption behavior, lateral movement, and command-and-control communication. - Credential and password-based attacks
Brute-force attempts, credential misuse, and abnormal authentication patterns. - Network scanning and reconnaissance
Probing behavior that often precedes exploitation and lateral movement. - Web application attacks
Including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and injection-based techniques targeting application-layer vulnerabilities. - Backdoor and persistent access mechanisms
Covert communication channels and unauthorized persistence behavior. - Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed DoS (DDoS)
Volumetric and behavioral traffic anomalies intended to disrupt services.
Detection capabilities continue to evolve through controlled model retraining and intelligence updates.
Neuromorphic AI for Low-Latency Detection
CyberNeuroRT integrates neuromorphic spiking neural networks, inspired by biological neural systems, to enable:- Ultra-low latency inference
- Energy-efficient processing
- Resilient performance under high traffic volumes
Real-Time Visibility & Analyst Experience
CyberNeuroRT provides a real-time analyst dashboard that enables teams to:- Monitor evolving threats continuously
- Investigate suspicious activity with context
- Access historical network data for forensic analysis
- Re-run analysis on stored traffic when required
Automated & Analyst-Controlled Response
CyberNeuroRT supports both automated remediation and human-in-the-loop response, allowing organizations to balance speed and operational control.Response actions may include: - Traffic isolation
- Blocking malicious communication paths
- Analyst-approved containment workflows
This approach enables rapid threat containment while minimizing operational risk.
Built for Scale & Multi-Tenant Environments
CyberNeuroRT is architected for enterprise and service-provider deployments, with strict isolation across tenants.Key design principles include: - Tenant-level data separation
- Scalable streaming and analytics pipelines
- Predictable performance under high load
This makes CyberNeuroRT suitable for large enterprises, MSSPs, and distributed organizations.
Security & Zero Trust Alignment
CyberNeuroRT is designed to integrate with Zero Trust architectures and modern security frameworks.Core security principles include: - Strong authentication and authorization
- Encrypted communication
- Role-based access control
- Least-privilege enforcement
This reduces attack surface and supports secure remote and hybrid access models.
Who CyberNeuroRT Is For
CyberNeuroRT is ideal for organizations that require high-confidence, real-time network defense, including:- Enterprise Security Operations Centers (SOC)
- Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs)
- Critical infrastructure operators
- Regulated industries
- Organizations adopting Zero Trust architectures
What’s Next
If you are new to CyberNeuroRT, the recommended next steps are:- Review the Installation guide to deploy sensors and services
- Follow the Usage section to explore detection and dashboards
- Refer to API Documentation for integrations and automation
- Use Troubleshooting for common operational questions
CyberNeuroRT is designed to grow with your environment — delivering continuous visibility, intelligent detection, and confident response as threats evolve.
