The Supremo Console IT Security add-on is an advanced cyber protection solution based on dynamic, continuously self-learning artificial intelligence (AI). It functions as a virtual SOC analyst, analysing user, device and network behaviour to identify suspicious activities and cyber threats in real time. It is ideal for companies seeking effective protection without the complexity of traditional EDR systems.

For more information on the IT Security add-on, click here.

The artificial intelligence of the IT Security add-on can detect anomalies in system behaviour, brute force attacks, unauthorised access, use of TOR or VPN, phishing and much more. Thanks to continuous behavioural AI learning, its ability to identify new and unknown threats improves over time.

The IT Security add-on does not replace antivirus software, but complements it by offering behavioural protection. It analyses system, user and network activity to detect threats that antivirus software misses, such as evasive techniques, VPN use, incognito browsing and much more. This complementary approach improves defence against cybercrime.
