Victim organizations are hit with an attack and the chase ensues. Silent Push closes this gap with its Preemptive Cyber Defense platform. Silent Push tracks adversary infrastructure and infrastructure changes across the Internet during the attack preparation phase - while attackers are still staging domains, IPs, and hosting and Silent Push turns that into Indicators of Future Attack® to defend with confidence. For a CISO, that turns invisible risk into early warning, an average of 140 days before a campaign shows up in your environment. Time to act, and a smaller window of exposure, before a threat ever reaches your environment.
