Vectra AI says its platform follows attackers across data centers, remote locations, clouds, identities, SaaS, Gen AI and IoT/OT. Vectra AI says its AI brings together three core capabilities to help security teams see what is happening, act on it, and strengthen security over time. Vectra AI describes one capability as continuously identifying and reducing attack exposure risk across the enterprise. The third capability is to track risk reduction, validate controls, and deliver audit-ready proof in real time.[1][4]

On the detection side, Vectra AI says its detections surface attackers moving laterally in both east-west and north-south traffic. Vectra AI Detections for Identity surface attackers using credential theft, account compromise, and privilege escalation across both human and machine identities. Vectra AI Detections for Cloud surface multi-cloud attacks. Vectra AI says it offers over 200 AI-driven attacker behavior detections across network, identity and cloud. Vectra AI says AI Assistants automatically triage, correlate, and prioritize threats across domains. Vectra AI shows threats ranked by urgency score in a single view powered by Attack Signal Intelligence.[1][5][6]

Vectra AI describes AI agents that triage, stitch, and prioritize detections. AI Triage separates normal network activity from behavior that is likely to be malicious. AI Stitching correlates behaviors across network, identity, and cloud to identify the original compromised account or device. AI Prioritization delivers entity-centric urgency scoring based on attack profile, velocity, and techniques. AI Analyst accelerates incident response for MDR customers. Vectra AI says analysts can answer security questions with 25+ enriched metadata types and 250+ contextual fields spanning network, identity, and cloud.
