Simplifying threat detection

ADT Cybersecurity solutions include 24/7/365 network monitoring, active hunting, and deep forensic analysis using cyber threat intelligence and real-time threat detection. This allows end-users to focus on validated threats, reducing the complexity of traditional threat detection by leveraging technology coupled with human-based intelligence and internal processes.

ADT Cybersecurity’s SHIELDVISION technology employs an innovative approach by applying cyber threat intel to packet-level data. This gives expert analysts the ability to identify compromises that are often missed by other technologies. SHIELDVISION can help close the gap between detection times and remediation of a successful breach.
