About Vectra AI

Vectra AI delivers a new class of advanced threat defense that delivers real-time detection and analysis of active network intrusions.  Vectra AI picks up where perimeter security leaves off by providing deep, continuous analysis of both internal and Internet-facing network traffic to automatically detect all phases of a breach as attackers attempt to spy, spread, and steal within your network.

Vectra AI directly analyzes network traffic in real time using a patent-pending combination of data science, machine learning, and behavioral analysis to detect attacker behaviors and user anomalies in the network. All detections are correlated and prioritized to show an attack in context, and Vectra AI’s machine learning adapts as attacks evolve.
