When I tell people that Watch Cortex classifies threats in under 8ms on-agent — no cloud call, no GPU, no round-trip — the first question is usually: how?
The second question is: why bother? Just send it to the cloud.
Let me answer the second one first, because it explains all the engineering decisions that follow.
