Make complex security toolstacks a thing of the past and gain efficiency with SenseOn, a consolidated cyber defence system. SenseOn is the single piece of software security stack, combining the capabilities of EDR, NDR, SOAR, SIEM, and AV into a single platform. By alerting accurately on genuine threats in a single system, SenseOn dramatically reduces noise from rapidly-increasing volumes of data, consolidates your security stack, and gives you full visibility into your cloud and on-prem IT infrastructure. The SenseOn platform captures all endpoint and network data natively in a consistent format and automatically contextualises this data, providing security teams with the necessary context to thoroughly understand and remediate threats. This unique approach to cybersecurity means that security teams can use a single system to capture rich data from across their estate in one unified data model without incurring the resource, inefficiency and financial costs associated with using several disparate security tools or from tools which are simply integrating disparate data under the hood. Founded in 2017 by David Atkinson, the first cyber specialist in the United Kingdom’s specialist military units, SenseOn brings together cyber security experts, former government cyber operatives and applied machine learning specialists. Pioneering a new approach to security, SenseOn was named the “Cybersecurity Innovation of 2019” by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) and a World Economic Forum (WEF) Technology Pioneer in June 2021.
