Filter Noise, Find Real Threats

Our 24/7 SOC doesn’t flood you with alerts – it filters out the noise so you only see what matters. AI automation and expert analysts work together to detect and stop threats before they escalate, often in under six minutes.

Extend Your Team with Our Experts

Our SOC and threat hunters act as an extension of your team. Partners get access to a Technical Account Manager (TAM) for threat insights, security reviews, and help understanding how attacks affect their customers.
