We investigate 100% of unknowns The CYDEF solution is built around threat hunting (actively searching for new and existing threats) instead of threat intelligence (what we know about previous threats) because past threats are not a good indicator of future threats. Automated cybersecurity solutions can only detect approximately 80% of threats (according to IBM). The remaining 20% tend to be more sophisticated attacks. Human threat hunting is required to detect these threats, which are specifically engineered to bypass automated solutions.
CYDEF highlights its platform's ability to reduce alert fatigue (99% fewer alerts) and enable SOC teams to focus on genuine threats, potentially improving efficiency for MSPs offering security services.
