Block emerging threats at scale without slowing down

Prevent unknown threats in seconds, even in encrypted files, with no burden on endpoints or next-gen firewall hooks. Rated AAA by CyberRatings.org, our inline solution blocked 100% of evasions and prevented 100% of exploits.

The Problem

Traditional security solutions don’t stop advanced threats

Traditional defenses like legacy firewalls and endpoint solutions let malicious files reach users and endpoints before analysis is complete, and most struggle to handle encrypted traffic. Since nearly all of today's traffic is encrypted, these blind spots make them ineffective against modern threats like ransomware.
