DFLabs 2020 Highlights: Taking IncMan SOAR to a Whole New Level
Even though 2020 brought unprecedented challenges and obstacles to the cyber security industry, it was also a year of growth and reaching new heights for us at DFLabs.
New integrations, new patents, new capabilities, new recognitions and many more exciting moments all helped pave the path for IncMan SOAR to grow and evolve even further in 2020. And with 2021 just around the corner, we thought now is the perfect time to reminisce on all the highlights that marked our journey in 2020. Let’s begin.
Highest number of patents in the SOAR industry
The third consecutive patent approved in the USA regarding its innovative SOAR technology cemented DFLabs’ position as the SOAR vendor with the highest number of patents in the industry.
Apart from receiving its patents regarding Incident Correlation and Visualization and Machine Learning Method, DFLabs is the recipient of its third, record-breaking patent regarding its Forensic Case Management innovation.
Suffice it to say, we are more than happy to be acknowledged for our relentless effort to establish DFLabs and IncMan SOAR as pioneers in the cyber security industry.
Taking IncMan SOAR to the Cloud
As a way to respond to the current trends and needs in the digital cyber security world, DFLabs made additional efforts to provide our customers with a new, scalable, and highly optimized IncMan SOAR as an SaaS and Cloud solution.
IncMan SOAR SaaS Cloud will maintain the original IncMan capabilities, providing clients with dazzling speed, scalability, and industry-standard flexibility. By bringing IncMan to the Cloud, DFLabs shows it always keeps up the pace with the current necessities of the cyber security world.
And, given that Cloud is gaining momentum in the IT world, DFLabs provides an optimized IncMan SOAR Cloud solution that will not only be beneficial for large organizations but for SMEs and MSSPs as well.
