FROM ONE ALERT
TO THE WHOLE CAMPAIGN

Stairwell detects threats your stack misses, maps exactly where they spread, and gives you the evidence to close the case, not just the alert.

Built to catch

missed threats

Stairwell preserves every executable 
it observes. It detects threats without relying 
on another tool to flag them first.

Resistant to AI malware

by design.

Stairwell analyzes the files themselves, so new variants can surface even when
signatures and behavioral detections
have never seen them before.

Evidence that

never expires.

Detection is a single moment. 
Stairwell re-examines your full history 
as intelligence arrives, so a threat missed 
yesterday still gets caught tomorrow.

YOU'RE WINNING ON THE WRONG SCOREBOARD.

The industry optimizes for one thing: how fast you clear false positives.

Lower MTTR, more tickets closed, higher auto-triage rates.

It says nothing about the false negative still sitting in your environment.

Evidence Collection
Every executable file, alert, and piece of threat intelligence enters your private environment and is kept forever.
Independent Detection
Each file is analyzed using similarity, prevalence, signatures, historical context, and fresh intelligence.
Stairwell
Agentic Investigation
Backstory autonomously finds variants, scopes affected hosts, reconstructs the campaign, and explains every conclusion.
Evidence-Backed Remediation
Backstory delivers a complete report and concrete actions for containment, blocking, and cleanup leveraging your existing tools.
Continuous Re-Evaluation
As intelligence changes, every file is re-examined against it.

Every question your SOC couldn't answer.

Answered.

Autonomous detection

Stairwell continuously analyzes every new executable. Definitive verdicts in seconds, independent of your other tools. Files your stack overlooks still get investigated.

Instant & continuous retro-hunt

Every new piece of intelligence automatically re-scans years of file history. Dormant malware gets caught.

Blast radius mapping

Every copy and every variant (renamed, recompiled, mutated) across all hosts and all time: what arrived, when, where it spread, which machines are affected.

Recommended actions

Backstory closes each investigation with a full campaign report, mapped to MITRE, and concrete actions for your other tools: containment, blocking, cleanup.
