What is alien vault?

AlienVault is a cybersecurity company that provides a unified threat detection and response platform to protect organizations from data breaches. The company was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in San Mateo, California. Its flagship product, the AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform, combines multiple security capabilities into one solution.

With the USM platform, organizations can monitor their network and detect threats in real-time, investigate and respond to incidents quickly, and comply with various security regulations. It also collects and analyzes data from various sources, including endpoints, network traffic, and cloud services.

In addition to its security products, AlienVault also provides threat intelligence services through the Open Threat Exchange (OTX). OTX is a collaborative platform for sharing threat intelligence and allows security professionals to stay up to date with the latest threats and trends.

In 2018, AlienVault was acquired by AT&T and now operates under the AT&T Cybersecurity brand.
