It enhances asset identification and anomaly detection through SSL certificate parsing, cloud service provider integration, and advanced fingerprinting techniques like JARM at the application layer. Current work will focus on cross-layer malicious behavior identification to further enhance its capabilities, including minimizing false positives through AI-based learning techniques. Certis promises to offer a powerful solution for organizations seeking proactive cybersecurity defenses in the face of evolving threats. %K Certis %K SSL Certificate Parsing %K JARM Fingerprinting %K Anomaly Detection %K Proactive Defense %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=133711
