The Mission
Companies are facing an accelerated rate of new threats that are becoming increasingly more sophisticated. Organizations are left to manage the complexities of rapidly changing attack vectors, while also discovering new ones by sifting through an endless barrage of scans and alerts. Moreover, companies are still dependent on humans to include business context and industry best practices to fully understand these risks.
At DarkLight, our mission is to break down information silos and turn overwhelmed victims into empowered defenders.
