Integrated within the Arctic Wolf Aurora Platform, Cipher offers users self-guided access to deep security insights. It aims to streamline investigations, improve alert comprehension, and deliver actionable summaries, leveraging real-world analyst expertise from Arctic Wolf’s global SecOps centers.
