In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, cyber defense is more crucial than ever. As we introduce Flex 3.0, let’s first look at what drives the need for a stronger, smarter approach to detection. Advanced persistent threats (APTs) and sophisticated attacker tactics are now part of the norm. Modern attackers are faster and more creative, taking mere hours to move from initial compromise to reaching their objectives. Yet, detecting an attacker often takes days—sometimes even months.
