Making previously unimaginable outcomes a reality
Close the exploit gap
In minutes versus months, AI-native rule engine prioritizes vulnerability and then deploys surgical compensating controls. Tested against live production traffic with optimal placement.
Segmentation that works
An extended network that segments itself continuously adapting to current realities. Informed by process behaviors, file changes, learned policy preferences, it places macro-guardrails that become tighter and tighter down to a regex filter.
Self-qualifying updates
Powerful solution that allows you to validate upgrades and policy changes against live production traffic with our innovative dual dataplane approach.
A fundamentally new approach to address today's realities
AI-native
Designed with AI from the ground-up—to deliver high efficacy, faster response and continuous protection with a system that earns your trust for the right level of autonomy and control.
Protects everywhere
Innovative end-to-end security—from the network to the workloads. With unified management that provides intelligent, optimal placement for policy across a full spectrum of previously inaccessible enforcement points.
Fabric that grows over time
Architected to seamlessly incorporate new enforcement points into the fabric without the need to overhaul policy.
