Arctic Wolf
Application
Endpoint protection built on Cylance's predictive AI model, sold as Aurora Protect (next-generation antivirus that blocks malware before execution), Aurora Endpoint Defense (EDR with behavioural detection and threat hunting), managed tiers triaged by Arctic Wolf's SOC, and Aurora Mobile Threat Defense for phones and tablets.
A service that monitors networks, endpoints, and cloud environments and responds to threats through the Aurora Agentic SOC.
A managed extended detection and response service for endpoints with alert triage by the Aurora Agentic SOC.
Uses on-device AI to protect mobile devices against phishing, malicious applications, and risky networks.
Generative AI assistant in Arctic Wolf's Unified Portal, built with Anthropic, that answers security questions in twelve languages, summarises alerts and adds context to the customer's open tickets, vulnerabilities and incident trends as a 24/7 self-service companion to the Concierge Security Team.
API service
Embeddable malware-detection engine licensed to OEMs that brings the machine-learning model inside Aurora Endpoint Security to other products, scoring files and assigning a reputation verdict offline or online for network gateways, SaaS file scanning, sandboxes, medical devices and IoT.
Platform
The technology underneath Arctic Wolf's security operations services: an open data pipeline that ingests and enriches telemetry from a customer's existing tools, the Security Operations Graph of curated security data, the Swarm of Experts agent framework and an AI Trust Engine that bounds agent autonomy and escalates novel cases to human analysts; the agentic SOC and endpoint security are recorded separately.
