Stairwell vs. Smokescreen

Adversaries succeed mainly because they possess a profound insight into your security protocols. They often utilize various security tools available in the industry to assess and test your defenses. With the implementation of Inception, however, your security team can create out-of-band strategies that are impervious to exploitation. Conventional security approaches often depend on outside information to analyze your infrastructure, leaving many teams perpetually reactive, tackling a list of known threats in a manner reminiscent of whack-a-mole. In contrast, Inception provides an internal perspective that allows you to gain a thorough understanding of your environment in relation to external risks. Instead of wading through a flood of irrelevant alerts, Inception enables you to focus on critical issues, whether they are atypical, harmful, or somewhere in between. The platform is designed to actively search for and scrutinize unique signals present in your environment, alerting you to potential threats that might otherwise go unnoticed. This forward-thinking methodology not only bolsters your security stance but also empowers you to foresee and neutralize potential attacks before they can inflict damage. By utilizing Inception, your organization is better equipped to maintain an advantage over possible intruders, ensuring a more secure operational environment. Ultimately, this strategic shift can lead to a more resilient and adaptive security framework.
