Ivanti’s 2025 State of Cybersecurity Report found something utterly unsurprising: that organizations report a significant preparedness gap (that is, the gap between the perceived threat level and their degree of preparedness) across every threat vector and vulnerability we asked about.

"Show me all critical incidents from the last week." "Create an incident for the payment API being down." "What was the root cause of that database incident last Tuesday?" If you've ever wished you could just ask Claude (or any MCP client) to handle incident management tasks instead of context-switching between chat and your incident management dashboard, you're going to like what we built.

When cloud costs spike, compute is often the culprit. Using Azure Spot Instances could cut your compute costs by up to 90%.

As networks scale across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments, this lack of infrastructure context creates real operational pain for your team.
