The world’s most powerful cybersecurity analytics platform
Built from the ground up, to secure your enterprise. Our full-stack, behavior-based hunting system analyzes more data, more deeply, than anyone else on the market — giving you unprecedented visibility and the power to stay one step ahead of the ever-evolving threat.
Who we are
We are rewriting the rules on how organizations protect themselves against rapidly evolving adversaries. Today’s threat environment requires understanding the adversary and attack landscape. Since our start in 2012, our technology has stopped the world’s most advanced cyber attacks. And we harbor even greater ambitions.
Why we are here
We are here to protect our customers by exploiting their adversaries’ weaknesses.
The layers of protection a company has are irrelevant since adversaries will always find a way to bypass them.
However, after infiltrating an organization, the attackers are vulnerable. Their activity offers an opportunity to discover the attack. So we developed an endpoint detection platform that uses this insight to empower security teams.
