Hitachi anticipates that StrikeReady's AI-powered End-to-End Cyber Security Operations Platform will greatly complement its security workforce and help respond quickly to threats. “As digital transformation progresses, cyber security threats are increasing, and security measures to quickly detect and properly defend against cyber-attacks are essential in every industry,” said Yoshinori Hosoya, Vice President and Executive Officer, CEO of Cloud Services Platform Business Unit, Hitachi, Ltd. “Hitachi, Ltd. has been providing security managed services to realize a secure digital environment in a wide range of social infrastructure fields.”

"StrikeReady is breaking the mold of conventional security solutions. We refuse to believe that security-centric companies should be confined to one platform. Instead, we champion the idea that teams should have the freedom to utilize the best-of-breed technology available,” said Carlos Moreira da Silva, co-founder and partner at 33N Ventures. “StrikeReady turns this belief into reality through its dedication to seamless integrations, ensuring compatibility with the diverse array of tools utilized by SOC teams today and tomorrow.”

At the core of StrikeReady's platform is its proprietary large action model (LAM), which goes beyond traditional AI and large language models (LLMs). This innovative technology empowers security teams to take proactive actions across the technology stack, augmenting human intuition with cutting-edge AI and machine learning capabilities.

Building a Proactive Cyber Defense:

StrikeReady's user-centric approach transforms security teams into proactive AI-powered cyber task forces.
