Overview
As cyber threats are growing at an exponential rate, modern cybersecurity solutions are reactive, outdated, and ineffective. Recent advances in AI-based threat protection are promising but are almost exclusively deployed to large corporate applications, placing the technology out of reach of the people who are most vulnerable to attacks. HEROIC.com is taking a new approach to AI-Powered threat protection. Utilizing big data, artificial intelligence, and the blockchain, HEROIC.com will power the next-generation of cybersecurity and make AI-based threat protection universally available. As users are intelligently protected against cyber threats, they are also compensated for seamlessly contributing anonymized threat data back to the network making everyone more secure. The HEROIC.com Ecosystem and the Heroic Token will become a new standard used throughout the entire cybersecurity industry to globally ensure security, privacy, and trust.

Nice project,
good Team and So many indian heare.

Google and IBM is partner ...................??

if yes.......it is very good for project.

fast-developing technology also reveals some security weaknesses. because it is done by man, intervention may be delayed.
it is difficult to protect personal and corporate data against cyber attacks. however, HEROIC artificial intelligence technologies can repel attacks like this. Good luck.

It looks pretty interesting. At least the project team drew attention to the sphere that is really important at the moment. Information security and personal data protection are of great importance for the modern world, I hope that the team will be able to offer a really good working decision in this regard.

It's also very cool that they use artificial intelligence to operate their software. This is an interesting symbiosis of modern tenology. I would like to see a ready-made solution.

I would like to clarify. "HEROIC.com uses a new approach to AI-Powered protection, using large data, artificial intelligence and block chain, HEROIC.com will provide a new generation of cybersecurity and make universal access to protection from AI." Is it an antivirus system like Kaspersky?

I agree. In the world of anti-virus programs for a long time there was no revolution, This sphere has not developed in any way for a long time. I hope this project can breathe life into this.

And why this decision can be considered excellent? At the moment, the market has a lot of anti-virus software products that are ready to ensure the security of your data. Is not it so?

The bulk of modern anti-virus programs work inefficiently, since they are helpless in the face of modern malicious programs. The work of these antiviruses is based on the old algorithm and is not suitable for modern realities.

So, it turns out to be a completely new product, whose algorithm is unique in its kind?

It turns out that exactly is. I have not yet met similar projects that would provide such opportunities.
Particularly interesting is the work with artificial intelligence, for analyzing threats and preventing new attacks, this one can become the very specialty of this project, which will make it popular.

Did the sales of the token start? Can I take part in this?

As far as I know at this point there is a stage of pre-sale of tokens and this will last until June 14. At the moment, a 20% bonus is available.
Then there will be a stage of public sale.

I understand this will be an open source software product, right? At least I read in white paper that third-party developers will have free access to the entire ecosystem of this platform.

yes i like this campaign i am doing. i am happy to see the good success of the project and the community boister i wish good health wishes to the admin and everyone here.

Thank you! We will be in touch!

Thank you for the kind words, Peao. Cyber attacks are increasing in sophistication and frequency at an alarming rate. Our goal is to use emerging technologies - specifically blockchain - to help build quicker and stronger threat detection with AI.

WOW. This looks really impressive. Partnership with Google and IBM, just wow. Very interesting project.

True cybersecurity requires layers of protection. Although important, antivirus (in the traditional sense) is just one of many layers to protect information and devices. The biggest downfall with antivirus is that it is often reactive and outdated because it relies on signatures. Our solution is introducing an intelligence that can learn from threat characteristics to detect and prevent attacks proactively before they execute on your personal data/machines.

I think this project will be a breakthrough in the communications between the real world and the world of crypto-currencies
egretia

You are correct in the sense that this project will be open to all individuals and organizations. However, anybody that has access to the ecosystem will participate (accessing data, building projects, etc) via HRO tokens. So the platform isn't entirely free, but it's drastically cheaper than anything of its kind like a Virus Total.

We are currently in our ICO pre-sale phase that includes 20% bonus of tokens. We already have many contributors, so please do not hesitate to participate with us. Let me know if you have any questions!

Please let me know if you have any questions

Hey guys great project I just saw you on Forbes great stuff keep it up!

Thank you! Please let us know if you have any questions.

Is there any active bounty campaigns about Heroic ICO? If yes i would like to join social media campaigns..

Our bounty program will be released this week - stay tuned!

Thank you for the update guys! Looking forward to the Bounty Program.

Great project! Strong team. I hope it will work out well.

The Bounty is released! It looks great guys I am starting right away!

I think this project is amazing, it should be able to protect our precious data that we stored online form getting stolen or being used for something that we aren't agree for.

I think in our time, the issue of cybersecurity is more relevant than ever. The introduction of artificial intelligence will definitely
solve many problems, which unfortunately hinder the development of the crypto industry and the blockchain as a whole.
Undoubtedly, I will follow and help in the development of this project all than I can. Good luck team!

This project has a great team, and very famous brands ass partners, i just dont get it, why people aren't paying enough attention to this platform??? The ANN started in may!?

That's why we need to make efforts and help this project attract more attention to the community. This is one of the few projects that really offers an idea that can solve many problems in cybersecurity.

I really do not understand why until now this topic is not in the top in the branch of alternative cryptocurrencies ANN s. After all, this is really a project deserving close attention not only to potential investors, but also to the cryptocommunity in general. Because today the security problems in the crypto industry is more relevant than ever.

The use of artificial intelligence in ensuring cybersecurity for me personally sounds like a fantasy. However, maybe I'm just too far from such technologies.

Many of us are far from these technologies. Nevertheless, the issue of cybersecurity in our time is very important for both people from the crypto industry, and for ordinary Internet users. After all, every day we come across news about cyberattacks on important industrial, financial, social sectors. That is why such initiatives, as this project should try to solve these problems.

I read the white paper and I saw the project really promising. Impressive .. great! Thank you!

Recent advances in protection against AI-based threats are promising, but are almost exclusively used for large enterprise applications, making technology unattainable for people most vulnerable to attacks.

This is one solid project with an interesting concept, to make use of AI technology and implement it into a cybersecurity.
The project should be helpful for many people or company.

That is why the project team developed the concept of this technology, for its application not only for large corporations but also  for ordinary people, such as we are with you.

The project has very much interested. Today very few worthy exchangers. Road map real and very perspective. I join on Twitter and Facebook

Hello dev, i think your project looks interesting, do you have registered company behind this project? where the project come from?

A serious project that deserves attention. The idea of the project is not new, they have a rival, but the team's desire to make the best product will lead this company to victory!

Current solutions are unable to keep up with the increasing number and intelligence of the threats attacking our systems. The signature-based threat detection systems commonly used today fail to detect new, previously unseen threats. Although effective if the threat vector is known and signatures are fully updated, these reactive solutions cannot protect us against the next generation of intelligent attacks

As someone who's involved with this industry (a bit), I can safely say that these guys know their stuff. I see many security solutions that are ineffective, archaic and restrictive.
Something needs to be done about it. Hopefully, HEROIC is the hero we need and the one that we deserve.

The HEROIC ICO project has been reviewed by ICOshock.

Check out the review here (https://icoshock.com/heroic-ico-review-ai-powered-cyber-security-solution).

HEROIC is more than antivirus. It combines multiple enterprise-strength cybersecurity features into one easy-to-use platform for the multi-device home.

Did not checked the site yet, just a quick thing..... What's the cap?

HEROIC is a Blockchain-based cyber threat protection system controlled by artificial intelligence. As an investment asset, HEROIC has a lot of attractive moments. Starting from the idea of the approach – it is global and comprehensive.

Become a HEROIC.com Brand Ambassador
https://medium.com/heroic-com/become-a-heroic-com-brand-ambassador-3c10b1cb5276

As we continue to attend release additional information and attend conferences, interest in the HEROIC token sale continues to grow. Individuals are whitelisting on our token sale site and our social presence grows every day — and we’re just getting started.

Over the course of the next few weeks, we want to exponentially grow our community in order to get our vision and mission out to as many individuals across the world as possible.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the HEROIC Ambassadors Program.

HEROIC provides solutions for decentralized cybersecurity supported by artificial intelligence. Heroic Excellence is combining threat data from Arc Reactor with artificial intelligence to predict and prevent cyber attacks.

Hello dev, do you have registered company behind this project?

Great news. I'm really sure that this project is the most successful in the last six months.

Cybersecurity that implementing AI in it, that should be good, cause it should be able to work nonstop 24/7, not just when it handled by people.
I really hope a good luck for this project.

the project offers a new generation of cybersecurity and make universal access to protection from AI.

Rating: 4.5/5- What to say is an excellent rating and it is clear that the depth of the project was appreciated. The question is whether they will be able to do what they promise because such a level requires very complex code like any project where it is used

If you need a fresh kickmfor your business, heroiccyber is to the perfect choice for you as it has all you will ever need

What are particular countries are not allowed to participate in you token sale? Do you have any restrictions in participating the token sale?

Here is some information that will be helpful:

Soft cap - 2,500,000 USD
Hard cap - 41,000,000 USD

PreICO Price - 1 HRO = 0.09 USD
Price - 1 HRO = 0.1125 USD

Minimum investment - 1,000 USD

I always read such information on ICOBench. As I understand this project hasn't restrictions by areas. But it would be better if someone from their team give an answer for this question.

Hello. Where can I buy your tokens? I like your platform.

HEROIC.com is using AI to gather data analytics, differentiate between malicious and non-malicious files and build unique algorithms to detect threat correlations and pinpoint critical vulnerabilities across networks.

Excited to see IAM on exchanges soon. And looking forward to a future for safer Token Sales, with Bridge Protocol! Keep up the good work, Team!

The problem of cyber security does exist. The threat of loss of personal data for ordinary users, or data for some companies remains real, and mechanisms for creating new cyber threats are developing faster than security systems. Therefore, solving the problem with the help of artificial intelligence and blocking technology seems quite an interesting idea.

I like the strategic partnerships this project is creating. I believe it will achieve success if things keep going this way. There's lots of ICOs out there and you really need partnerships to stand out from the rest.

I have already seen projects with similiar idea. For example BitFence. But Heroic has advantage. I talk about instrument "Research and Development". I like idea of this instrument. It makes this project more universal.

Using large data, artificial intelligence and block chain, HEROIC.com will provide a new generation of cybersecurity and make universal access to protection from AI. It's great!!!!

The idea definitely deserves attention!I read the official website and technical document to make sure that the project has a future!The project will live and everyone who supports it will get a good reward.

In my opinion, this project proposes to solve one of the most important problems of our time, and the combination of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology looks very reasonable. Good luck!

Yes, this idea of creating the complete security of personal data loss that we really need.After all, sometimes there is too important information at risk,and I think that we just need to support the team so that such an idea could be implemented,and we can protect ourselves from unnecessary cyber attacks.I think we should join the project HEROIC.

MVP is available which is interesting to me. In my opinion, I like that you are using AI on the blockchain for security.

They have very interesting idea. But we should wait for realization of this project. If team will embody all components of their platform, it would be really great product.

Using AI and big data to build the innovative solutions is an innovative move. Huge aims to bring in AI into cybersecurity. Looking forward to the final product.

AI of today can predict some type of threats. AI in cybersecurity on the blockchain, great idea. MVP is available which is interesting to me. Looking forward to the progress.

A good idea for the project, as well as a strong team - is the guarantee of the success of any project. This is a very relevant project to date! Can I find out how successful the sale is?

There is no such information nowhere. In telegram chat manager said that they would public this information later. So, I think, situation there is not very good.

I think I like the idea of the project, it gives the possibilities to at least reduce the waste from oil refinery and transform it into something useful and less polluting to the environment.

The solution to network security is very good. It is the modern smart home that is auspicious and opposed to the public interest. I hope to develop good projects.

I believe Heroic is a serious contender for top existing exchanges like binance and bittrex

it looks like the project is quite interesting, I want to see if the progress of this project gets better when ICO starts. hopefully can function well and provide satisfaction for the participants who join here.

proof of threat is this new? looks great il follow this project

whats the latest news?

Sorry for the delay and not being active in the thread for some time

Although the bad conditions of the bearish market, Heroic has raised funds... not like other projects that barely raised 0$.
Anyway, ICO will be probably extended, our team will post updates shortly regarding this.

According to the development.. team is focused 100% on it. Nowadays they are working hard for the deployment of the smart contract, and be more active, engaged in conferences and appear in public events.

This is Chad presenting his Keynote at the Orlando Merge Conference just few days ago. We met great people and businesses at the show.

An interesting article that should make us be aware of the importance of security..
Some time ago, i used Uber frequently.. now it seems that my data, and the data of nearly other 57 million persons could have been compromised. An investigation around this matter has already a cost of $148Millions for Uber..

If you want to be updated, it is a must to know the acronyms related to cybersecurity... hereby we wanted to share a link with the most important of them.

The Arc Reactor and the other functionalities, for use, should be paid some amount, or, who owns Tokens Heroic will have access to the solution?

..

uppps.. sorry for the delay answering you.

Users that purchase a subscription to our Guardian platform will have access, as well as companies or developers that purchase access to our solutions through the HRO token.
Anything that happens within the ecosystem requires HRO tokens. Users can obtain tokens through exchanges or through participation such as contributing threat data and being compensated through HRO tokens.

talking further about this with team..
We are used to see in cryptomarkets 2 differents ways of operating:
-some projects just charge an small ammount in tokens for every operation on their platforms
- while others, ask for a subscription fee.. and then you have access to all funtionalities

In fact, we work as a combination of that. The general public that does not know about crypto can still have access to all of our services by purchasing a subscription to our Guardian platform in USD.

A Message to Our Community
As the ICO and cryptocurrency landscape faces growing pains, HEROIC continues to blaze a trail forward.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1242/1*yf0hxivirkTMUG9kmUqzbg.jpeg

The last three months have been some of our most productive and promising months since embarking on this journey. We’ve traveled all around the world spreading our message and growing our footprint abroad. From New York, Boston and Orlando to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Iceland we’ve created memorable experiences by presenting at blockchain conferences and meeting new friends at local meetups.

Even though we’ve had a blast traveling to new locations and meeting new faces, we’ve still been hard at work back at home hiring new employees, adding thousands of new community members, solidifying partnerships, and having a hyperfocus in developing key components of our ecosystem in preparation of the upcoming alpha releases within the next few months.

Timeline Updates
We greatly appreciate all of the effort and hard work that you, our community, has put forth in establishing HEROIC as the up-and-coming blockchain-based cybersecurity company. However, as all crypto enthusiasts and followers know, the industry as a whole is facing growing pains. We knew this would happen. Crypto is so new and disruptive that growing pains are inevitable. Sadly, the high volatility and buyer skepticism are causing hundreds of financially-backed ICOs and blockchain startups to fail at alarming rates.

Luckily for us, this slow period in the crypto craze has been a blessing in disguise. We collectively made the decision to extend our token generation event, which has allowed us to avoid large losses that other ICOs are now having to face. Additionally, It’s given us the chance to step back and realistically assess the market and our plans moving forward. We are in the final stages of updating all HEROIC timelines in addition to the official ICO close date. Detailed information and updated dates will be announced in the coming weeks.

We understand that updated timelines might anger our community members or raise questions to our legitimacy. It is our responsibility to do what is best for the company, team, investors, partners, and those that have already contributed to our pre-sale. We have no interest in distributing our tokens prematurely only for them to immediately lose the majority of their value. HEROIC will not be another statistic added to the list of fluttering ICOs.

Added Domain
When we formally embarked on this journey, we collectively felt that the url of ‘tokensale.heroic.com’ was sufficient in representing what we sought out to achieve with regards to the blockchain and cryptocurrency side of the company. We have since come to the realization that our long-term vision and mission require much more representation than a simple token sale site on a subdomain.


We have begun transitioning everything related to the HEROIC blockchain-based ecosystem and the ICO over to HEROIC.org. By moving all blockchain related content to HEROIC.org, we will be able to provide a greater impact and footprint beyond the token sale and token generation event. Our mission is not to just have a successful token sale, but to build a robust cybersecurity community while we work towards intelligently protecting the world’s information.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/838/1*u4YwywbKv6_kurT247hO6Q.jpeg

Bounty & Airdrop Program Updates
Back in August, we decided as a company to extend our Bounty and Airdrop programs an additional eight weeks as we grew and strengthened our community. The results of the extension have been overwhelming.

With the updated ICO timelines, we are also extending our Bounty and Airdrop programs. We will no longer have a compensation schedule composed of 8 to 16-week blocks. We will let the Bounty Program continue to run and grow until the official close of our ICO and the subsequent token launch onto exchanges.

What does this mean for you? If you’re a Bounty Program participant, the extended time frame provides you with more chances to earn HRO tokens. We will be releasing an online portal in the coming weeks to allow everyone to manage and update their information. Those that have helped our community to this point — and that have followed all the bounty rules and requirements — will still receive correct compensation for their respective work and effort throughout the initial 16 weeks. We will continue to require bounty and airdrop participants to submit the required forms for proper compensation.

What to expect in Q4
As we enter into Q4, our focus will continue to be growing and strengthening the HEROIC community as well as working towards a successful launch and listing of the HRO token on top exchanges. Additionally, we will focus on:

- Releasing our ICO Management Portal
- Releasing our alpha version of key ecosystem software
-Continuing software development
-Earning national media coverage
-Hiring specialized team members (http://careers.heroic.com/)
-Forming strategic and creative partnerships
-Engaging with large investment firms and contributors
-Launching the HEROIC Tribe (more on this in the future)

We are extremely proud of the community involvement we’ve seen. It is our hope that you continue to support our mission and help us move forward through these challenges. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us directly at contact@heroic.org or message us on our Telegram channel.

PLease dont hesitate to join our telegram channel and ask any question you want regarding Heroic project

Something interesting to read if you got a while...  How will Heroic deal with this cybersecurity issue ?

https://www.securitymagazine.com/ext/resources/secenews/2018/drone_2.jpg?1539710706

I see that the project already has positive ratings and reviews. I think that the computer industry and the hacker industry will only develop, and this will undoubtedly lead to an increase in demand for the services of the HEROIC platform.

another proof that we are attacked daily by unscrupulous hackers... and the importance of having the potential of Heroic fully deployed to keep us safe

as the technology developes and our lifes are internet depending.. more and more hacking attemps proliferate .. We are attacked daily all over the world.  Our safety relies on a system that keep hackers aways from our assets, personal details,...
Once Heroic system is fully operating, things will change a lot.. Heroic is a true game changer

After the dramatic security breach suffered by facebook recently, seems they need some help urgently..  Maybe they found something that serves as temporal fix.. but it wont be an exhaustive solution, as Heroic promises to deploy..

Cybersecurity breachs happen daily... 

"A number of Amazon customers this week received an email letting them know that the company "inadvertently disclosed" their name and email address due to a "technical error." If that sounds vague, well, it is! In fact, the company's opacity here may be just as alarming as the exposure itself, especially given that this is the second time this fall that Amazon has played loose with customer emails."

Heroic project has a very solid vision which aims to bring in AI on the blockchain into cybersecurity. Using AI and big data to build the innovative solutions is really good move. Their MVP is available and it is quite interesting. With the team's highly experienced background, it is possible to make this project happen.

Based on the recent posts I read, it seems that one of the main focuses of Heroic.com project is privacy and security of their users.
Lots of hacks mentioned in the topic.  :)

3 years to develope a patch to fix a vulnerability?¿? this  is absolutely unacceptable!!!!
users will appreciate a huge difference when Heroic solution is fully deployed and operating.. our decentralized cybersecurity threat intelligence exchange will allow to handle cybersecurity issues in a reduced time lapse

https://media.threatpost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/2017/01/06230922/kasp-285.jpg

Looks like that the Chrome platform and the Android version have been vulnerable to attacks.
I don't know how the Heroic team can build up a better one for users globally with higher security, and more privacy.
Anyway, I wish all best ones for the Heroic team this year.

Well, there's some good news for hackers and vulnerability hunters, though terrible news for tech manufacturers:

Intel community assessment: Cyberattacks threat to U.S. security

Cybersecurity threats are among the most troubling concerns to the U.S. intelligence community (IC), with Russia, China, Iran and North Korea (“the Big 4”) well-positioned – and motivated – to engage in cyberespionage and attacks particularly during the 2020 presidential election, according to the IC’s annual “Worldwide Threat Assessment” report.

Yahoo data breach payout blocked by judge


A judge has rejected Yahoo's attempt to draw a line under a series of breaches it experienced between 2013 and 2016.
The firm had proposed a payout to lawyers acting on behalf of affected US and Israeli users.
But while the deal said the attorneys could claim up to $37.5m (£28.5m) in fees and costs, it did not disclose the sum reserved for victims.
The California judge also objected to Yahoo being too vague about what remedial steps it was taking.

‘Clipper’ malware that alters crypto wallet addresses slips into Play Store
Google’s Play Store unknowingly hosted a fake cryptocurrency app that actually modifies users’ crypto wallet addresses once they’re copied to the clipboard, researchers are reporting.
This Android-based “clipper” malware, as it’s called, secretly changes the wallet address to one hosted by the attackers, allowing them to steal victims’ digital coin transactions, explains ESET researcher Lukas Stefanko in a Feb. 8 company blog post.

Steganography is a technique that enables hackers to hide malicious payloads or malware within a file, message, image or video.
The malicious content or text is usually encrypted before it is embedded within the files.
Cybercriminals are fond of using existing attack techniques in new ways to launch cyber attacks. It is much cheaper to tweak the technique rather than invent something new. One such example is that of steganography. Security researchers have observed that the attackers are heavily relying on this old-school trick to launch more advanced and sophisticated campaigns.
