ThreatDefence says it observed organizations getting breached, with attackers living on their networks for months and sometimes years. ThreatDefence describes incident responders who could not use their security event data and struggled to manually correlate security events collected from endpoints, network systems and cloud service providers. ThreatDefence created its SecOps Platform to help companies of any size deploy security operations and contain threats with deep visibility and structured evidence.^[3][8]

ThreatDefence agents connect identity, endpoint, email, cloud and network evidence to build timelines, assess scope and recommend actions. ThreatDefence lets customers choose recommendations, approval-based actions or authorized automation, with controls to restrict or pause any workflow.^[5]

ThreatDefence analysts, threat hunters and incident responders work alongside AI agents to investigate threats, direct response and support the customer team around the clock. ThreatDefence continuously monitors customer environments across cloud, network, endpoints, identity and applications. ThreatDefence analysts conduct scheduled and intelligence-led hunts to identify indicators of compromise, lateral movement, credential misuse and living-off-the-land activity.

ThreatDefence customers have access to a dedicated portal with real-time dashboards, incident timelines, analyst notes, reporting and service visibility. ThreatDefence is SOC 2, PCI DSS and ISO 27001 certified.^[2][5]
