WhiteQubitMonitor
Watches what runs and who connects, right on the server.
Autonomous OS-level cyber defense
From reactive security to autonomous defense.
WhiteQubit lives on your Linux servers, spots an attack as it starts and contains it on its own. Every action can be undone, and every action leaves a record you can check.
What it does
One loop, running all night.
The same four steps run on every protected server, with nobody on call.
Detect
Recognises attack behaviour as it begins, before the damage.
Respond
Contains the threat in seconds. Every action is time-limited and reversible.
Verify
Signs a record of each action, so the history can be checked later.
Live model
Watch it respond.
A group of servers. One gets attacked. WhiteQubit spots it, walls it off, then lifts the block on a timer and signs the record.

Where WhiteQubit is today.
An honest view of the build: what already runs on real hardware, what we're working on now, and the research we want to take on next.

The build
What's done, what's moving.
Each part is marked by what's true right now, not by what we hope.
Server-level protection
Watches activity on the machine itself
Automatic response
Blocks an attacker, then lifts it on a timer
Self-protection
Hard to switch off once it's running
Tamper-evident records
Edits to the history show up
Decoy systems
Traps that record how attackers work
On-device threat analysis
AI that explains what happened, locally
Dashboard
One place to see every server
First pilot
Real-world testing with a partner
Research ahead
Questions we want to answer.
The open problems we're exploring beyond the prototype. Exploring, not shipping, yet.
Post-quantum
Security that survives quantum computers
Preparing the system's cryptography for a world where today's keys can be broken.
AI on the device
Explanations, not just alerts
Local models that tell a person what happened and why, without sending data away.
Deception
Decoys that adapt
Traps that change their behaviour to keep an attacker busy and visible.
Evidence
Proof you can hand to an auditor
Records that a third party can verify independently.
Footprint
Light enough to forget
Published benchmarks for running 24/7 on small machines.
Small details
The fine print we're proud of.
- Written in RustA language that rules out whole classes of memory bugs.
- Linux firstTested on current Linux kernels and real cloud hardware.
- Power-cut safeRecords written before a crash are still there after it.
- Undo by defaultEvery automatic action expires unless someone keeps it.
- Never locks you outAdmin access is protected from its own responses.
- Tested hardOver 700 automated tests, including deliberately broken code.

Founders
The two people behind WhiteQubit.
Two cybersecurity students from Karnavati University building the defender they wished small teams already had.

Sumit Kumar
Co-founder · Strategy and security research
Cybersecurity student at Karnavati University (UIT). Sumit leads WhiteQubit's research direction, partnerships and the business side, and is active in Ahmedabad's security community as a volunteer with The Hackers Meetup and Open Source Weekend.

Thakor Pavansinh
Co-founder · Lead developer
Cybersecurity student at Karnavati University (UIT) who writes most of WhiteQubit's code. Outside WhiteQubit he built RSBP, an eBPF-based reverse-shell detector for Linux, and Project IRIS, a threat-intelligence aggregator that maps findings to MITRE ATT&CK.

How we build
Three rules we don't bend.
01
Safe before fast
A defender that breaks your systems is just another attacker. Every action can be undone.
02
Show the work
If we claim it works, there's a test that proves it, run on real hardware.
03
Built for small teams
Colleges, clinics and small businesses deserve real protection without a security department.
