CTOS — COUNTER THREAT OPERATING SYSTEM™

Turn intelligence into counter-threat operations.

CTOS operationalizes the Third Wave of cybersecurity by determining risk at the edge of intelligence collection and routing that intelligence directly into action across the enterprise ecosystem.

//: Why CTOS

Security teams were built to monitor threats.

CTOS is built to counter them.
Traditional security programs collect intelligence, generate alerts, and depend on manual decision-making to determine what matters. CTOS changes that model by connecting intelligence, risk determination, and counter-threat operations in one platform.
Determine risk at the edge

Move beyond raw alerts, posture scoring, and fragmented analysis with real-time risk determination at the point of collection.

Route intelligence into action

Deliver contextualized intelligence directly into counter-threat operations instead of letting it stall in dashboards and queues.

Protect the full ecosystem

Extend intelligence-led security beyond internal infrastructure to vendors, partners, suppliers, and other third parties.

//: Platform architecture

A simple operational model for the Third Wave.

//:ONE
Threat Collection Edge
Collect signals from adversary infrastructure, compromise activity, exposed credentials, dark web sources, and ecosystem telemetry.
//:TWO
Risk Determination Engine
Correlate intelligence against enterprise context to determine what represents real risk now.
//:THREE
Enterprise Digital Twin
Map vendors, suppliers, identities, assets, and relationships to bring operational context to every signal.
//:FOUR
Counter-Threat Operations
Route intelligence into operational workflows, interventions, and response actions across the enterprise ecosystem.
//: What CTOS enables

From intelligence collection to operational outcomes.

Earlier signal detection across the extended enterprise
Risk determination at machine speed
Operational routing instead of
dashboard backlog
Protection across vendors, suppliers, partners, and SaaS providers
A platform foundation for AI-native counter-threat operations
initial use case
Third-Party Threat Detection & Response

CTOS first applies this architecture to one of the largest unprotected attack surfaces: the enterprise third-party ecosystem. Identify threats targeting suppliers and vendors before attackers pivot into the enterprise.

Future direction
The platform for the next era of cybersecurity operations

CTOS is designed to extend beyond third-party threats into broader counter-threat operations use cases, creating a foundation for machine-driven security across the enterprise environment.

LEARN MORE  ABOUT ctos

What is CTOS?
CTOS (Counter Threat Operating System) is a cybersecurity platform that connects intelligence collection, risk determination, enterprise context, and counter-threat operations in one architecture, enabling machine-speed response across the full enterprise ecosystem.
How does CTOS determine risk?
CTOS correlates intelligence signals against live enterprise context, including vendors, suppliers, identities, and assets, to determine what represents real risk at the moment of collection, rather than routing everything into analyst queues.
What makes CTOS different from traditional security platforms?
Traditional platforms collect intelligence, generate alerts, and rely on manual decision-making. CTOS connects intelligence directly to operational action, replacing dashboard backlog with automated, context-driven counter-threat operations.
What is the first use case for CTOS?
Third-party threat detection and response, identifying threats targeting suppliers and vendors before attackers pivot into the enterprise, one of the largest unprotected attack surfaces in modern security.
What does 'counter-threat operations' mean?
Counter-threat operations is the active model of security where intelligence is routed directly into response actions, moving beyond monitoring and detection into machine-driven intervention across the enterprise ecosystem.
