Apoc@alypse technique corresponds to the end of the systems of signatures and hashes to identify
threats against the security of information, since the system distinguishes and identifies the
appearance, and not the attitude, of software. Even the current heuristic concept carries with it the
detection of several indicators of a signature or stereotype of a threat.

How will Apoc@lypse influence the defense of military systems, bank systems, and controllers of
infrastructure? As common systems are weakened, too many systems use computers with antivirus
and anti-malware protection, and it may cause an avalanche and compromise the functioning of too
many systems.

Currently, he is an Army Liaison Officer at the Center for Information Technology
Renato Archer, Government Advisory Committee in IT-SA Brazil, and book´s
coauthor “Apoc@lypse: the end of antivirus”.

Rodrigo Ruiz has discovered the vulnerability Apoc@lypse and carried out a
digital bacterium to transport and inoculate the DNA of viruses in computational
systems. He was the first one to draw the parallel between autoimmune
cybernetics and disease, which is the basis of this book, and he created the
proofs of concept. Rodrigo is book´s coauthors “Apoc@lypse: the end of
antivirus” on.
