Signal Clarity
Vectra’s powerful Attack Signal Intelligence provides the industry’s most accurate threat detection and response for modern cyber-attacks. It means less noise — and more clarity — to relieve SOC analysts from the pains of constant tuning and triaging.
ExtraHop prioritizes based solely on the number of alerts, with no assisted triage and no self-staffed MDR service offering.
Intelligent Control
Only Vectra AI provides the native integrations SOC analysts need to investigate and stop attacks at any stage of progression.
ExtraHop integrations require custom JavaScript, with no native enforcement to instruct EDRs to block.
