Malnox
Antivirus for business

Antivirus for business, with an append-only audit log and SIEM export.

A business antivirus is not judged by how many threats it blocks, but by what you can prove to an auditor. Malnox writes every action to a log that cannot be edited from the application, exports events to SIEM over UDP or TCP in JSON or syslog, and runs local DLP policies for GDPR, PCI-DSS and HIPAA — without sending documents to any cloud.

What a business antivirus is usually asked for — and what we deliver on each point

Procurement requirements are predictable. The answer to each one has to be verifiable, not a slide promise.

  • Traceability: an append-only audit log with actions, actors and outcomes. It cannot be edited or deleted from the application; for compliance you export it periodically.

  • Access control: admin, analyst and viewer roles. Tokens are stored as SHA-256, never in clear text, and passwords use scrypt with a salt.

  • Integration: SIEM export over UDP or TCP, in JSON or syslog. Off by default — you enable it explicitly, with destination, protocol and format.

  • Resilience: the SIEM queue is bounded at 512 events. If the destination stops responding you lose old events, not process memory.

  • Offline operation: activation by file, with no outbound connection, for isolated networks and industrial environments.

Compliance: what the local DLP checks, with written thresholds

DLP policies run on the local file, with the bundled rule engine. There is no cloud classification service and no document is sent anywhere. Results show up in the dashboard as detections — DLP reports, it does not block business workflows.

  • GDPR: a threshold of 3 matches before reporting, so a single phone number does not raise an alert.

  • PCI-DSS: card numbers are validated with Luhn and marked critical only when they pass the check.

  • Secrets and keys: threshold 70, to cut the noise from configuration files.

  • HIPAA: threshold 62, on medical-data specific indicators.

  • Confidential documents: a separate category, disabled by default. Enable it only if you understand the noise volume.

Isolated networks, factories and offline environments

The package is fully offline: the runtime, the engines and the rules all live inside the installer. There is no step that needs the internet to complete.

  • Activation uses a file generated in the dashboard on a connected machine, then imported locally. The file is valid for a single device.

  • Intel packages are HMAC-SHA256 signed, with atomic staging and rename. Path traversal is explicitly rejected.

  • Signature updates are carried as files and imported locally. There is no “it fetches signatures from the server when it can”.

  • If the licence server does not respond, the product keeps running on the last confirmed licence with a 30-day grace period. Protection does not stop merely because a check could not reach the server.

The real cost, without “contact us for a quote”

One seat costs 3 EUR per year after the free first year. Prices are in EUR, VAT included, and billing goes through contact@malnox.com. There are no hidden volume tiers and no separate "enterprise" price for the same features.

  • One seat = one activated installation. It is not tied to hardware: move the licence to a new computer by deactivating the old device.

  • The first year is free for every new account, businesses included.

  • Licences activate online or offline, through an activation file.

What we are not, so you do not waste an evaluation

Honesty here costs us a few leads and saves us far more. If you need any of the following, Malnox is not the right choice today.

  • We are not an EDR with automated incident response. We do not automatically isolate a host from the network and we do not correlate attack chains across endpoints.

  • We are not MDR. There is no operations centre watching your alerts.

  • We do not yet have a multi-tenant central console for large fleets. Each installation has its own local console.

  • We do not have millions of signatures. We have 67 targeted YARA rules, our own signature engine and heuristics — plus an explainable verdict, which is useful in a different way than a big number on a slide.

  • Real-time protection watches Downloads, Desktop and Documents. For other volumes you start explicit scans or add paths in the configuration.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from IT teams

Yes, in the default configuration. We do not install a signed driver and we do not ask for global exclusions. Real-time protection is based on file write and close events, not on intercepting opens, which reduces conflicts with other resident products.
