Vectra is presented with the Grand Trophy at the 2018 Golden Bridge Awards

Vectra today announced that it was honored with the prestigious Grand Trophy Winner distinction for its Cognito threat-detection and hunting platform at the 2018 Golden Bridge Awards.

The Cognito platform from Vectra provides full visibility into cyberattacker behaviors – from internet-of-things (IoT) and user devices to cloud and data center workloads – leaving attackers with nowhere to hide. Cognito uses AI to perform non-stop, automated threat detection with always-learning behavioral models to quickly and efficiently expose hidden and unknown attackers before they do damage.

“We are incredibly grateful for this coveted industry-wide acclaim from the Golden Bridge Awards,” said Vectra CEO Hitesh Sheth. “This distinction reaffirms that our Cognito platform is at the forefront of AI-driven cybersecurity innovation in detecting and hunting for hidden cyberattacks.”

At the 2018 Golden Bridge Awards, Vectra was also honored with the following awards:

• Gold winner in Data Center Innovations
