Autonomous Cybersecurity

What is Oatmeal?

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, securing your organization’s assets requires constant vigilance and cutting-edge technology.

 

Our solution is focused on autonomous agents that are uniquely designed to identify vulnerabilities across two distinct attack vectors: external threats that come through your public-facing applications and services, as well as internal risks originating within your organization. 

Oatmeal uses autonomous technology

With the help of autonomous technology, Oatmeal can improve traditional honeypots immensely because it’s self-governing.

It redefines Honeypots with autonomous technology

Cyber threats are becoming increasingly more persistent and sophisticated in today’s digital landscape. Organizations and businesses are challenged with limited cybersecurity resources to stay safe and meet regulatory requirements such as the NIS2 directive. 

 

At Oatmeal, we are rethinking our approach to cybersecurity. That’s why we’ve developed an autonomous honeypot security solution. It elevates traditional honeypot systems with the help of artificial intelligence to defend against cyberattacks.

Cybersecurity challenge: balancing complexity, expenses and compliance

Cybercriminals today are more intelligent, faster, and more adaptive than ever. The security challenge is daunting for many organizations and businesses —especially those without the resources to invest in full-scale Security Information and Event Management systems (SIEM). Traditional SIEMs are expensive, complex, and require dedicated expertise that isn’t always available, which leaves many companies exposed to the following risks:

Adding another layer of complexity, regulatory frameworks like the NIS2 directive demand continuous rigorous logging, monitoring, and reporting. Achieving such compliance can seem impossible for small and medium-sized businesses. 


There is a clear market need for a turnkey, affordable solution that enhances security and meets regulatory compliance requirements.

Introducing Oatmeal: the autonomous honeypot security solution

Traditional honeypots have long served as traps within an IT environment that lure in and analyze attackers. However, today’s hackers can usually identify them because of their static nature and predictable configurations. 


Oatmeal represents a significant evolution in the way honeypots work. That’s because it mimics all of the activities we usually see within a company environment using AI.

How Oatmeal works: the basics

1. Plug-and-Play simplicity

One of the most compelling aspects of Oatmeal is its ease of deployment. It’s designed to be a plug-and-play solution, meaning that it is:

 

  • Executed through a SaaS application: This ensures a quick implementation and seamless integration.
  • On-premise ready for large deployments: A lightweight software component installed directly within an organization’s local network or data center.
  • Automatically adapts to an environment: It detects an existing network infrastructure and configures itself using AI.

2. Multi-service emulation

Attackers often rely on identifying high-stake assets from decoys. Oatmeal mitigates this risk by emulating a broad range of services, including:

 

  • SSH, Telnet, HTTP(S), FTP
  • SMB, RDP
  • MySQL, Redis
  • Kubernetes API, Active Directory
  • More to come

 

By mirroring high-stake assets and services, Oatmeal creates an incredibly challenging environment for hackers. The system’s dynamic interaction levels—ranging from low to high—ensure that the engagement with each potential attacker is carefully managed, maximizing data collection while minimizing risk.

How Oatmeal works: the deep dive!

1. Autonomous technology

With the help of autonomous technology, Oatmeal can improve traditional honeypots immensely because it’s self-governing. This way, it can regulate and manage itself according to internal rules and protocols, which:

 

  • Increases speed and real-time response
  • Can scale for any business size
  • Reduces human error
  • Adapts to evolving threats
  • Has a proactive approach
  • Learns on its own based on data and information
  • Lowers the financial barrier for adequate cyber security

 

These key features can lead to many advantages that businesses and organizations of all sizes can benefit from. One of them being:

 

  • Interaction monitoring: Captures every move made on a dynamic decoy asset, from brute-force attempts to lateral movements within the network.
  • Analyzes attack behavior: Uses machine learning to correlate behavior patterns and detect anomalies.
  • Provides Actionable Insights: Translates raw data into insights. This way, security personnel can make informed decisions that enhance incident response and long-term threat mitigation.

2. Oatmeal ecosystem

We don’t just protect businesses and organizations. We connect them. When one company encounters a new hacking attempt, we share Its hacking pattern in real-time across our entire network of users. It benefits everyone in real time, strengthening security for everyone.


Instead of facing threats alone, businesses become part of a self-learning defense system that adapts as attacks evolve. The result? Stronger protection, faster response, and a more innovative way to stay ahead of cybercriminals.

3. Compliance module

Our built-in compliance module automatically tracks activity and records sessions. It automatically generates reports so businesses don’t have to do it manually. This means that companies can:

 

  • Continuously meet NIS2 requirements
  • Simplify audits for compliance checks

The road ahead: roadmap & future enhancements

At Oatmeal Autonomous Security Solutions, we want to stay ahead. That’s why we’re committed to continually evolving our solution. Here’s a look at our roadmap:

Short-term (1–3 months)

  • Beta launch & pilot programs: We’ll roll out a beta version to select SMBs and enterprise partners to gather real-world feedback and fine-tune our solution.
  • Deploying core features: Our priority will be finalizing the plug-and-play installation, dynamic service emulation, and real-time logging.
  • API integration: We will build a robust integration with existing security tools and legacy systems to ensure a smooth experience.

Mid-term (4–12 months)

  • Enhanced AI capabilities: We plan to further develop our machine learning models to provide even better threat analysis.
  • UI/UX optimization: We will refine our dashboard based on user feedback to improve It’s usability and experience.
  • Expanded service emulation: We will add support for additional protocols and emerging technologies.

Long-term (1–2 years)

  • Advanced incident response: We will explore features that enable automated containment and remediation actions.
  • Community-driven intelligence: We will build a secure data-sharing framework for collaborating better with industry peers, cybersecurity researchers, and regulatory bodies.
  • Ecosystem integration: We will form strategic partnerships with MSSPs and technology providers to integrate all Oatmeal users into our connected ecosystem.

Final thoughts

Cybersecurity today is a necessity and as such businesses need security that adapts, evolves, and simplifies compliance.

 

At Oatmeal we will combine AI-powered intelligence with clever deception tactics and help businesses of all sizes to protect their data and stay compliant. 

 

Whether you’re an SMB navigating NIS2 regulations or an enterprise looking to strengthen your security operations we’re here to help with and innovative solution that will be scalabile and easy to use.

 

We’re looking for early investors, strategic partners, and cybersecurity pioneers to join us in reshaping digital defense. Let’s build a safer, more resilient online world—one decoy at a time.
