Cyber Startup Frenetik Launches with Patented Deception Technology That Bets Against the AI Arms Race

Frenetik, a Maryland-based cybersecurity startup, emerged from stealth today with a novel approach to thwarting attackers by using cyber deception backed by a newly issued U.S. patent. The company’s Deception In-Use technology, covered by U.S. Patent 12,463,981 – “Systems and Methods for Counter-Reconnaissance in Cloud Infrastructure to Disrupt Adversarial Targeting” – continuously rotates actually used identities and resources across Microsoft Entra, AWS, Google Cloud, and on‑premises environments.

By depriving attackers of easily discoverable information, defenders stay informed while attackers rely on stale intelligence. Founder Hans Ismirnioglou described the approach as shifting away from a compute and analysis war toward exploiting information asymmetry. Frenetik’s concept is likened to musical chairs for hackers, where real resources move so attackers cannot reliably identify legitimate targets. According to CyberNewsWire, the company focuses on measurable security outcomes and offers a free community version at www.frenetik[.]us.
