Vectra AI, Inc. is a cybersecurity company specializing in AI applied to network detection and response (NDR) solutions. Established in 2012, Vectra AI operates from its headquarters in San Jose, California.
History
Vectra AI was founded in 2010 as TraceVector LLC in New York City and was incorporated in 2011 under the name Vectra Networks.[1] The company changed its name to Vectra AI in 2018.
In April 2021, Vectra raised $130 million.[2]
Product
Vectra AI employs a unique array of artificial intelligence techniques[3], including supervised (pre-trained), unsupervised machine learning and deep learning techniques, to detect and respond to in-progress cyberattacks in real time.
The product’s algorithms continuously learn the behavioral norms of devices, user accounts, ports and protocols to identify signs of compromise across enterprise infrastructure. Threats are automatically triaged, scored and correlated[4] to compromised hosts, and attack behaviors are correlated across hosts to provide the “narrative” of developing attacks. These threats are prioritized on an intuitive user interface[5] while alerting and remediation actions are taken with other security technologies[6].
