GOING BUMP
IN THE NETWORK?

Are there malware and other threats hiding in your endpoints and network?
Security teams need to be alerted to these threats in order to take proactive
response. But many security solutions bog down your team with ghost alerts
and false positives, sending them hunting for threats that don't even exist.
These ghoulish alerts become an even bigger burden when you consider that
many organizations struggle with limited security resources.
A Ghoulish Nuisance
The average enterprise receives
10,000+ ALERTS A DAY
that may or may not be
malware-related. For larger
enterprises this number jumps
to over 150,000.1
Enterprise Security teams can sift through endless alerts hunting for
the ones that really matter, or completely ignore them.
