Proactive cybersecurity with Gradiant: AnonymiX and Honeypots

Gradiant presents its AnonymiX and Honeypots solutions to stay ahead of threats and strengthen digital resilience

With an innovative approach, Gradiant is committed to technologies that transform data protection and attack detection

In highly sensitive sectors such as defense, healthcare, or finance, protecting critical data is no longer just a legal obligation—it is a strategic priority. Medical records, GPS traces of operational units, or high-value financial transactions have become prime targets for cybercriminals. To address these threats, Gradiant offers an innovative proactive cybersecurity approach that anticipates attacks and maximizes the protection of digital assets.

Security and Privacy: The Core of Technological Innovation

Gradiant leads the development of technologies that protect both data and infrastructure, integrating advanced capabilities that cover the entire cyber defense lifecycle:

Identity and Privacy Technologies
We apply advanced anonymization techniques, differential privacy (PETs), and privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML), enabling the secure use of personal data without compromising its analytical value.

Security Data Analytics
We integrate machine learning models, multi-agent systems, and Large Language Models (LLMs) for anomaly detection and real-time coordination of defensive strategies.

Threat Protection and Intelligence
We use advanced honeypots, predictive analytics, automatic alert classification, and confidential computing technologies to anticipate, record, and understand cyberattacks before they affect real systems.

AnonymiX: Smart Anonymization to Protect Privacy

AnonymiX is Gradiant’s solution for personal data anonymization, specifically designed to comply with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA without sacrificing the analytical value of the data. Its risk-based dynamic configuration automatically selects the best anonymization technique for each dataset and adjusts the protection level according to re-identification risk.

Key features:

• Optimized anonymization evaluated using utility and privacy metrics.
• Advanced algorithms such as randomization, generalization, shuffling, and Hexanonymity to anonymize GPS data with minimal information loss.
• REST API for real-time anonymization on data streams (integrable with Apache Kafka).
• Compatible with both cloud and on-premises environments, and available through Web, Desktop, and CLI interfaces.

AnonymiX enables organizations to safely share, analyze, and leverage sensitive data, enhancing trust and reducing risk in regulated and critical environments.

Honeypots by Gradiant: Intelligence to Anticipate Attacks

While AnonymiX protects the data, Gradiant’s Honeypots protect the network. These are decoy systems that simulate vulnerable services to attract attackers and record their techniques, tools, and goals without compromising real infrastructure.

These honeypots can:

• Respond realistically to scans such as Nmap (TCP SYN, -sV), avoiding detection as fakes.
• Simulate real services like databases (MariaDB, PostgreSQL), web servers, SSH connections, and OT systems with industrial protocols like Modbus and OPC UA.
• Clone active TCP/UDP services using the Clonepot module, adapting the decoy network to adversarial scenarios.
• Automatically classify and label attacks with algorithms such as DBSCAN and KNN, and export data to analytics platforms like OpenSearch or Wazuh.

Thanks to these honeypots, organizations can monitor and understand attacker behavior in real time, generating actionable intelligence to adapt their defenses accordingly.

Innovation in the Service of Security

Gradiant will present these solutions, alongside other cutting-edge technologies such as Prophet—its advanced electromagnetic spectrum monitoring system—and innovations in Cloud and Edge Computing, at FEINDEF 2025, the International Defense and Security Fair of Spain. This event will be the perfect showcase to demonstrate how technological innovation can enhance digital resilience and protect critical infrastructure.

In a context where security has become a strategic priority, proactive cybersecurity is no longer optional—it is a vital requirement. With AnonymiX and Honeypots, Gradiant offers key tools to anticipate risks, protect privacy, and understand the adversary before it’s too late.
