Underutilization of security tools, lack of cross-platform intelligence, and challenges in realizing ROI from security investments are the top concerns facing security leaders today.
Discern Security’s AI-powered Security Controls and Posture Assessment and Optimization platform helps CISOs and security leaders by:
- Maximizing the efficacy of security investments: Fine-tuning security controls and policies to ensure optimal performance and protection.
- Delivering cross-platform intelligence: By creating a cybermesh, Discern offers insights into overall security health, coverage gaps, configuration weaknesses, and user and device risks across multiple platforms.
- Tailored dashboards and recommendations: Generate custom dashboards with actionable insights and strategic recommendations to improve security posture and resilience.
- Comprehensive asset management: Identify, score, and remediate user and device risks throughout the organization, supported by no-code workflows that streamline asset management.
- Building value narratives: Help security leaders demonstrate the value theyve added to the organization by delivering measurable security improvements, backed by key metrics and alignment with frameworks like MITRE.
Discern Security automates the assessment and optimization of security controls for leading tools such as Microsoft, Google, Okta, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and SailPoint. Our platform evaluates these tools against specific risks, including functional and organizational risks, ensuring that each tool operates in alignment with the unique security challenges faced by our customers.

Getting AI from pilot to production is a widespread problem.
Spectro Cloud is the fast lane: we help enterprises, sovereign AI clouds and public sector organizations build, govern and operate AI infrastructure in any environment, from edge to cloud, and from metal to token factory.
Were proud that customers like GE HealthCare, Yum! Brands, the U.S. Air Force, and other organizations trust us with their biggest infrastructure challenges, from zero-downtime operations across thousands of sites to standing up production AI in 30 days.
Behind those results is PaletteAI, our AI infrastructure management platform built for scale. Its the only platform that manages VMs, containers and AI workloads in one place, with one operating model, and consistent policy, access and cost controls everywhere. It runs wherever you do, including air-gapped, sovereign and regulated environments.
Every team starts somewhere, whether thats standing up an AI factory, cutting inferencing costs, moving off VMware, scaling the edge or taming a Kubernetes fleet. Pick the problem in front of you today, start with a single-cluster turnkey appliance, then grow to thousands of clusters at your pace.
