Our product

Tessaract: one signal, not multiple dashboards.

Tessaract is our passive network security appliance. It runs four detection engines against the same traffic, correlates their findings into a single confidence-scored case, and maps every finding to MITRE ATT&CK, CAPEC, and D3FEND. Built to run fully disconnected, for the networks that can't be.
