Vectra AI
AI-driven threat detection and response platform that finds hidden attacker behaviors in network traffic and cloud environments.
What is Vectra AI?
AI Threat Detection Across Network and Cloud
Vectra AI is a threat detection and response platform that uses AI to find hidden attacker behaviors in network traffic, cloud environments, and identity systems. Unlike perimeter-focused security tools, Vectra focuses on detecting attackers who have already breached the perimeter — identifying the lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration patterns that indicate an active attack in progress.
Behavioral AI for Post-Breach Detection
Vectra's AI models are built specifically to detect attacker behaviors rather than malware signatures. By analyzing network metadata, cloud API calls, and authentication activity, Vectra identifies the subtle behavioral patterns that indicate reconnaissance, credential abuse, and command-and-control activity. Its Attack Signal Intelligence prioritizes the highest-fidelity, highest-urgency threats so security analysts focus on what matters most rather than chasing false positives.
- AI detection of attacker behaviors in network and cloud traffic
- Attack Signal Intelligence for high-fidelity threat prioritization
- Coverage across hybrid cloud, AWS, Azure, and GCP
- Integration with SIEM and SOAR platforms for streamlined response
