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.
