## Turning Threat Intelligence into Cyber Resilience

### Attackers move fast and adapt constantly. Unit 42 brings the experience, technology and operational depth to match that speed. From readiness through response to long-term improvement, we help you act with precision and continuously strengthen your security program.

### THREAT-INFORMED

Your attack surface is expanding and harder to see. We use telemetry from 70,000+ customers and thousands of incident engagements to identify exactly where you're vulnerable. You gain the clarity to focus resources on the threats that actually matter to your bottom line.

### TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN

Unit 42 combines deep platform integration with AI and automation to simplify operations, cut through noise, strengthen prevention and accelerate action so you reduce risk faster and stay ahead of evolving threats.

### EXPERTISE-LED

You need experts who have seen it before. Our 24/7 global team spans response, readiness, threat intelligence and long-term transformation, delivering battle-tested expertise across every engagement and phase of your security journey.

### TRANSFORMATION-FOCUSED

Every engagement turns lessons learned into lasting improvement. And, every engagement concludes with a roadmap to harden your defenses and prove your maturing resilience to the board. You emerge stronger and more defensible after every encounter.
