Weaker on

Coverage measurement against ATT&CK 2 vs 4

Level on

Rule lifecycle 3 vs 3

Weighted figure 4.47 of 5, #1 of 6

Converts threat intelligence into hunts and backtested detections and runs them continuously on data where it already lives.

Consider it if you want new intelligence turned into tested hunts and rules quickly, across the tools you already run, without a new ingestion pipeline.

Data reach without new ingestion 4 vs 4

Weighted figure 4.34 of 5, #2 of 6

A threat hunting platform where agents hunt continuously, deploy detections and run investigations, with open-source hunting and detection frameworks.

Consider it if you want continuous, hypothesis-led hunting with strict rule versioning and a retrohunt gate before anything ships.
