SpecterIQ enhances your existing investments without replacing them. We transform your current security stack into a real-time, adaptive defense layer.
UEBA tools rely on batch processing, telling you about anomalies hours after they happen. SpecterIQ uses streaming inference to detect and stop threats in real-time.
