        solutions to address the multiple cybersecurity needs of campaigns in
        three ways:

           contains malware, ransomware, zero-days, non-malware and fileless
           attacks automatically. Remote endpoint incident investigation and
           remediation is led by BlueVoyant cyber intelligence experts. Clients
           can let BlueVoyant remediate the issues remotely and supply
           after-action reports, or receive detailed instructions, if preferred.
        2. Detection-as-a-Service(SM) (DaaS): DaaS collects logs from
           applications and on-premise and/or cloud infrastructure to enable
           advanced threat detection within the entire IT environment.
           Investigations into security alerts are supported by our team of
           analysts.
        3. Vulnerability Management Service (VMS): Services include
           implementation, scanning, configuration changes, as well as
           identification of high-risk vendor software updates.

    --  Professional Services: For campaigns that require forensics, incident
        response, or proactive security services. World class defensive
        cybersecurity personnel respond to advanced cyber threats through
        programs that stop threat actors in their tracks. Assess, respond, and
        remediate cybersecurity events. In addition, BlueVoyant can rapidly
        assess companies' current security posture and help make changes
        necessary to proactively defend themselves.
    --  Threat Intelligence: For campaigns that require increased dark web and
        external threat intelligence insights. BlueVoyant monitors external
        attack surfaces, assesses emerging risks, and delivers near real-time,
        actionable intelligence that is specific to each organization.
