Problem
Organizations face a constant barrage of cyber threats targeting their internet-exposed assets, leading to potential service downtime, data breaches, and financial losses. Traditional security solutions often generate a high volume of alerts, overwhelming security teams and hindering their ability to focus on critical incidents.
