01// THE COMPARISON

CONTINUOUS VS.
PERIODIC.

Hiring a security engineer, signing with an MSSP, or engaging a vCISO all share the same problem. They are slow, expensive, and built around periodic reviews rather than continuous protection.

Threat Unknown runs continuously. Findings are always current and remediations happen in days, not quarters.
