Select a product to explore its purpose, the questions it answers, and its core capabilities.

Atlas™

Continuous Exposure & Trust Management

Atlas continuously models enterprise reality. Rather than scanning for vulnerabilities in isolation, Atlas understands identities, assets, permissions, trust relationships, AI agents, and attack paths as a living operational model — the organization's system of record for cyber exposure and trust.

Atlas Answers

  • Where are our highest-risk exposures and which vulnerabilities matter most?
  • Who can access what — and why do they have that access?
  • Which trust relationships are excessive or should not exist?
  • How could an attacker move through the environment?
  • If this asset is compromised, what is the blast radius?
Explore Atlas™
Continuous Security Graph

Continuously models identities, assets, applications, cloud resources, and AI agents into a living enterprise graph.

Identity Exposure Management

Discovers excessive permissions, dormant accounts, privileged accounts, credential exposure, and trust abuse.

Attack Path Analysis

Identifies privilege escalation paths, lateral movement opportunities, trust abuse paths, and cloud attack paths.

Blast Radius Modeling

Calculates reachable assets, reachable identities, business impact, and critical dependencies before an attack occurs.

Continuous Trust Modeling

Maps user-to-SaaS, user-to-cloud, service-to-application, agent-to-tool, and application-to-data trust relationships.

AI Exposure Analysis

Discovers AI agents, MCP servers, agent permissions, tool access, and AI-specific attack paths across the enterprise.

Overwatch AI™

Autonomous Security Operations

Overwatch AI is the operational intelligence layer of the platform. It continuously investigates, correlates, prioritizes, explains, and directs security operations using autonomous reasoning. Rather than generating alerts, Overwatch AI generates understanding.

Overwatch AI Answers

  • What happened, why did it happen, and how did the attacker gain access?
  • Are these alerts related — is this part of a larger attack?
  • What matters most right now and which incidents require immediate action?
  • What should security teams do next and what response options are available?
  • Should Vanguard act automatically or should approval be requested?
Explore Overwatch AI™
Autonomous Analyst

Automatically collects evidence, enriches telemetry, builds attack timelines, and identifies root cause — without human initiation.

Autonomous SOC

Operates as a continuously active digital security analyst handling alert triage, investigation, prioritization, and escalation.

Threat Correlation

Correlates activity across identity, endpoint, cloud, SaaS, network, and AI systems to build a unified attack story.

Autonomous Threat Hunting

Continuously searches for hidden attackers, lateral movement, identity abuse, and agent compromise without analyst-created queries.

Incident Prioritization

Ranks incidents based on business impact, asset criticality, identity risk, trust degradation, and attack progression.

Vanguard™

Autonomous Defense & Response

Vanguard delivers machine-speed decision making and action with human oversight. It determines the optimal defensive action, selects the least disruptive containment option, and validates that threats are successfully neutralized — while keeping business operations running.

Vanguard Answers

  • What action should be taken and can the platform act without human intervention?
  • What level of approval is required for this response?
  • What is the least disruptive containment option available?
  • Which systems, identities, or agents should be isolated?
  • Has the threat been successfully contained and has trust been restored?

Closed-Loop Validation

Continuously verifies that containment was successful, risk is removed, attacker access is eliminated, and trust has been re-established.

TrustAnchor™

Trust Governance & Recovery

Traditional security focuses on prevention. TrustAnchor focuses on maintaining and restoring trust. It continuously governs trust across identities, devices, workloads, applications, and AI systems — and provides recovery capabilities that restore the enterprise to a validated, trusted operational state.

TrustAnchor Answers

  • Who and what can be trusted right now?
  • Where is trust being abused and which identities pose elevated risk?
  • What systems require recovery and what remains compromised?
  • Have we returned to a trusted operational state?
  • Can business operations safely resume?

Enterprise Security Reality

Security Teams are Drowning in Complexity

Attackers increasingly exploit identity systems, SaaS platforms, cloud trust relationships, APIs, AI agents, and machine identities. Traditional SOC architectures were never designed for continuously changing enterprise environments.

Identity

Identity has become the new enterprise perimeter. Trust relationships now define modern attack paths.

Cloud

Multi-cloud and SaaS environments change continuously — faster than manual security operations can adapt.

AI Agents

Autonomous AI systems create entirely new attack surfaces, trust boundaries, and governance requirements.

Human Limits

Analysts cannot manually investigate machine-speed attacks across fragmented enterprise telemetry.

The Result

Modern attackers move across identity, cloud, endpoint, SaaS, and AI systems faster than human analysts can respond. Traditional SOC architectures cannot scale. As a result:

Alert Overload

Thousands of daily alerts with limited analyst capacity create dangerous operational blind spots.

Fragmented Security Stack

Critical telemetry is scattered across disconnected tools, vendors, and operational silos.

Human-Speed Defense

Attackers operate at machine speed while defenders remain dependent on manual investigation workflows.

Why a Traditional SOC Fails

From Human-Speed Reaction to Machine-Speed Defense

Traditional SOCs were designed for human-paced, perimeter-based threats. Modern attacks are automated, machine-speed, and multi-cloud — drowning analysts in alert fatigue, fragmenting data, and burning out staff.

Traditional SOC
  • Human-speed investigations
  • Alert overload with no prioritization
  • Manual correlation workflows
  • Fragmented telemetry across silos
  • Reactive containment after damage
  • Static trust assumptions
  • No AI agent visibility or governance
  • Analyst burnout
