Always-on Alert System
We’re like your own private spy-plane for bugs and bots
Our suspicious activity filters are always on patrol, using algorithms to pinpoint unusual or malicious traffic in real time. Our easy-to-use dashboard keeps you updated and informed with automated notifications, filters, and alerts.

TRAFFIC MAPPING AND TRIAGE
We keep your virtual traffic moving without incident
Our system identifies normal traffic patterns—and sets parameters for pinpoint detection. Our mitigation not only reduces the severity of any attack on you—it also allows for legitimate traffic to reach its intended network destination without delay.
