As cybersecurity solutions become increasingly complex, the challenge is not a lack of data, but rather in how to cut through the noise and understand what is actionable and where to allocate resources.

1. Reduce Response Times:
Visual, actionable data across the data ecosystem, including public cloud
Discover the Unknown:
Analyze threats in real-time and automatically confirm compromised hosts
Streamline Management:
Implement operational control and manage enterprise policies at scale

MIND THE GAP:Three Key Operational Gaps Hamper Organizations’ Cybersecurity Efforts
As security solutions become increasingly complex, the challenge is not a lack of data, but rather in
how to cut through the noise and understand what is actionable and where to allocate resources.
Most enterprises take more than 24 hours to mobilize an investigation on alerted incidents.There is
simply too much data being analyzed and threats are hiding in plain sight.

of provisioning and managing a security network has become too overwhelming.
