three heads · one gate
Security first. Then the whole platform.
We keep the software you ship from being cracked, copied, or tampered with. Then we build and run the rest of the stack around it.

virtualize · anti-tamper
License

This is defensive, legitimate security work. We help the people who own software keep it safe from theft and tampering, and we only ever work for the owner.
Protection and DRM are the center of what we do, and the reason the rest exists. The moment your software runs on a machine you do not control, that machine becomes the attack surface. Whoever wants to break it owns the hardware, the debugger, and all the time in the world.
So we treat it as the real cybersecurity problem it is. We study how a given build actually gets attacked and design the defense around that, rather than dropping a one-size tool on top and hoping it holds. It is the hardest thing on this page, and the first thing we solve.
The platform
One platform behind your product.
Protection is the spine. Around it sits everything a modern software product needs to run: the stack tenants already run on.
Protection & DRM
The core of what we do. A build goes in unprotected and comes out virtualized, sealed, and watermarked per copy.
- A protection pipeline we design for your build, run server-side
- The right existing tooling for the job, VMProtect and its peers included
- Custom obfuscation and virtualization when off-the-shelf is not enough
- Per-copy watermarking, so a leak traces back to one buyer
- Anti-tamper, integrity checks, and soft device trust
Trust & identity
Identity
One account system across all of your products, and the auth every other service trusts.
Client transport
Encrypted, authenticated channels between your client and your backend.
User data
Sync and storage for sensitive end-user data, including a zero-knowledge mode we cannot read.
Money & growth
Commerce & licensing
Take money, issue licenses, and enforce entitlements across products and regions.
Support & community
Where your users ask for help and talk to each other, run for you.
Content & localization
Copy, docs, and every locale, versioned like code and shipped to the edge.
Run & observe
Analytics & observability
First-party analytics and deep operational visibility, all in house.
AI-native operations
An assistant can operate the platform with exactly the permissions of the person behind it.
Build & delivery
From commit to a sealed, signed, per-user artifact.
Operator surface
One dashboard over the whole platform, for the people who run it.
AI-native
AI-native from the start.
Most platforms bolt AI on at the end. We built the permission layer first, so an assistant can operate the platform safely, and so any tenant can point one at their own data without rewiring trust.

MCP, generic and custom
A hosted MCP server exposes the platform to any assistant. When you need your own, we build one scoped to your data and gated by the same permissions your staff have.
AI inside support and staff tools
Support answers, ticket triage, and staff lookups run on your own knowledge base, with citations.
AI on the logs, next
We are rolling out AI that watches logs and metrics, groups incidents, and explains them in plain language before you get paged.
One permission layer
Every AI surface passes through the same permission layer, so an assistant can never reach past what the person behind it is allowed to touch. Every call is audited.
The suite
Use what you have, or have us build it.
Cerberus is a platform and a team. Bring your own infrastructure and we plug into it, or hand us the whole thing and we build and run it. The work below is what we do when a product needs more than software.
Protection strategy & custom work
We assess how your software gets attacked, assemble a pipeline from the right tools, and write custom obfuscation or virtualization where the off-the-shelf options fall short.
Platform build & operation
We stand up identity, commerce, transport, data, and observability for your product, then either hand it over or keep running it for you.
Custom tooling
Internal tools, build systems, CLIs, and bespoke services. We build the thing that does not exist yet, to the same standard as everything else we run.
Integrations
Fits the tools you already run.
We plug into the editors, cloud, payment processors, git host, and CI you already run. One consistent standard underneath all of it.

The gate holds
Already in production.
It runs live for tenants today, in production, under attack. Anything still rolling out is marked as such. Tenants run their whole businesses on Cerberus: storefronts, licensing, protection, community, and support, serving thousands of paying users between them. Their software is a target every day, and defending it is the job.
