The future of ProActive: From On-Prem to Cloud
For two decades, NetClean ProActive has helped organizations detect and respond to some of the most hidden forms of human risk. Now, it’s entering a new era — built in the cloud, driven by intelligence, and designed for what comes next.
A platform built for what’s next
The security landscape has shifted. According to Hans Carlson, the move to the cloud was driven by how customers’ needs have evolved: security teams no longer just want tools — they want intelligence that integrates into their workflows and delivers continuous value.
For NetClean, that meant reimagining ProActive as a living platform rather than a static product. Cloud delivery enables ProActive to provide verified detection data in real time, without the friction of installations or manual updates. It’s not about replacing the old; it’s about building a smarter, faster, and more connected way to detect human risk.
The move to the cloud isn’t just technical — it’s transformational. ProActive Cloud turns detection into continuous intelligence that scales with every customer.
Built for performance and simplicity
From a technical perspective, the transformation was equally significant. Tony Fjordén explains that every update used to require local maintenance, patching, and certificate renewals — processes that consumed valuable time and resources. In the cloud, improvements are deployed instantly and securely, keeping customers protected and always current.
The new architecture also opens the door to continuous innovation. ProActive Cloud can now deliver intelligence, detection, and analysis as an integrated service, ensuring every customer benefits from the latest insights automatically.
ProActive Cloud lets us deliver security improvements instantly. No patches, no downtime — just verified intelligence that’s always up to date.
Three service models. One intelligence platform.
ProActive Cloud is a modular, integration-first threat intelligence platform built to strengthen Human Insider Risk detection and response. It delivers verified, high-confidence alerts directly into the workflows of Security Response teams — including MDR providers, IR analysts, and compliance units — enabling faster action and deeper investigations.
Designed to fit naturally into the security ecosystem, ProActive Cloud complements existing tools like SOAR, IR platforms, and analyst pipelines.
Its service model architecture reflects the diverse ways organizations operationalize threat intelligence — from managed detection to autonomous integration.
Detection Services — ProActive detects for you
ProActive Cloud collect unique signals of Human Insider Risk artifacts that other tools often miss. These signals are analyzed using verified threat intelligence to generate high-confidence alerts, ready to route directly into Security Response workflows.
Analysis Services — You submit, ProActive analyzes
ProActive Cloud provides fast, trusted analysis of submitted signals using verified threat intelligence. The service helps security teams enrich investigations, validate indicators, and generate high-confidence alerts that support incident response and compliance workflows.
Feed Services — ProActive deliver, you act
ProActive Cloud provides a continuous stream of machine-readable threat intelligence ready to integrate into SIEM, SOAR, or other detection platforms. Feeds are designed to power autonomous detection, enrichment, and alerting across large-scale environments.
Hans describes this modular approach as a deliberate choice: not just to enable flexibility across customer workflows, but to ensure ProActive Cloud delivers the right threat intelligence, in the right format, to the right teams.
Whether through managed detection, on-demand analysis, or machine-readable feeds, each service model is designed to strengthen Security Response — helping teams detect faster, investigate deeper, and respond with confidence.
Less maintenance. More focus.
The result is a simpler experience for security teams. Customers no longer have to think about infrastructure or upkeep. Tony notes that this frees organizations to focus on what truly matters — detection, response, and protecting people.
Early adopters of ProActive Cloud report faster detection cycles, fewer manual tasks, and greater confidence in every alert. The difference is tangible: less time spent maintaining systems, more time spent acting on intelligence.
Built for the future of human risk detection
Looking ahead, Hans emphasizes that the foundation behind ProActive Cloud isn’t limited to one threat domain. It’s an intelligence platform designed to evolve. The same framework that detects CSAM today can extend to new areas of human-risk detection, from insider coercion to other behaviors that compromise security.
ProActive Cloud represents a shift from static detection to continuous intelligence — a future-ready approach that enables organizations to act faster, smarter, and with complete trust in their data.
