Overview

Confluera provides a real-time attack interception and defense platform for enterprises, designed to detect and stop attackers as they move through a network using automated responses.

It differentiates itself by offering real-time interception and automated protections with ongoing updates under a subscription model, reducing dwell time and manual incident handling. The goal is to help enterprises safeguard their digital assets from sophisticated threats with practical, ongoing protection across large networks.
