It leverages a team of expert analysts, specialized in open-source intelligence and adversary tradecraft, to provide actionable intelligence that addresses complex risks like executive threats, insider fraud, and third-party vulnerabilities.

Ascend delivers real-time external signal intelligence, detects behavioral patterns, and provides risk analytics, allowing organizations to identify early warning signs of threats and accelerate investigations with AI-powered attribution.
