MixMode

AI-driven real-time threat detection and response

Overview

MixMode uses artificial intelligence to detect and respond to cyber threats in real time. It leverages Third Wave AI, a generative model that can predict both known and novel attacks, including zero-day threats. The platform is self-learning and starts understanding typical network behavior in under a week without human input, and it is context-aware, automatically extracting patterns from time-stamped data. This enables automatic threat detection and response, helping security operations centers (SOCs) become more efficient. The company likely operates on a subscription or license model for organizations with large data sets, such as banks, hospitals, and tech companies. Overall, MixMode focuses on real-time protection of data by predicting and stopping attacks as they happen, with an emphasis on handling big data and reducing manual security work.
