About the Company
- Daylight is a security services company delivering Managed Agentic Security Services (MASS), including MDR, threat hunting, security data lake, and more, through a fundamentally different architecture than traditional security services providers.
- Daylight's architecture combines an agentic platform that runs the full cycle from detection to response with security experts from IR and threat hunting backgrounds.
- The platform collects identity and business context across systems to investigate alerts and continuously learns your environment.
- Security experts validate decisions, feed insights into the platform, optimize detections, and take over in case of an incident.
- The result: security teams move from firefighting to strategic work.
