What is Zafran?
Zafran operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, providing an AI-native platform designed to transform how enterprises manage their digital attack surface. Unlike traditional security tools that rely on reactive patching, Zafran utilizes advanced analytics to identify which vulnerabilities are genuinely exploitable. By correlating these findings with existing security controls, runtime presence, and real-world threat intelligence, the platform enables security teams to focus their resources on the most critical risks. This strategic positioning allows Zafran to address the growing demand for proactive, context-aware security solutions in an era of increasing cyber threats.
