ntegrated Security Operations Center (ISOC), now in preview, combines the breadth of SIEM capabilities with the depth of native threat protection, alongside threat intelligence, automation and AI.

The next question after a security finding should be: what can this reach? A finding becomes more useful when you can see the identities, devices and cloud resources connected to it. Those relationships help you decide where to investigate next and which exposure deserves attention first. That is where Hunting graph fits.

Project Perception's practical value is coordination. Specialized security agents work toward a shared objective, giving customers a clearer path from understanding a threat to deciding what to investigate, detect and fix.

What we are starting to see in modern security operations is not just more AI capability, but a shift in how work itself is being distributed across roles.
