By sharing responsibility, Vectra MDR strengthens customer SOC teams with skills and experience available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, to mitigate the most advanced cyber threats
Vectra AI, the cybersecurity leader in cyber threat detection and remediation for hybrid and multicloud enterprises, today announced Vectra MDR, its global Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. Vectra MDR offers the cybersecurity expertise available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, needed to detect, investigate and respond to threats. Vectra MDR analysts and customer security analysts work together within the Vectra Threat Detection and Response platform to search for, detect, prioritize, investigate and respond to ongoing attacks. Whether customers choose to grow their own security operations or prefer to outsource them, Vectra's shared responsibility model ensures constant communication and collaboration between Vectra MDR analysts and customer analysts.
As attack entry points extend beyond traditional networks and endpoints to public clouds, SaaS applications and identities, security teams are faced with defending an ever-expanding attack surface of the hybrid cloud. Increasingly evasive attackers and increasingly intense and close-by security alerts compound the challenge as attackers find new ways to infiltrate and advance within the organization without being noticed. Vectra MDR takes advantage of the Security AI-driven Attack Signal IntelligenceTM to automate threat detection, triage and prioritization for SOC teams, reducing alert noise, false positives and the risk of analyst burnout. With Vectra's Attack Signal Intelligence-based MDR services, customer security teams have full visibility and context into how an attack progresses through the cyber kill chain, preventing it from becoming a breach.
Vectra MDR services empower security teams in the following areas:
Human intelligence always active
Constant monitoring 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, with cloud, threat intelligence and playbook design expertise to proactively detect, prioritize, investigate and block attacks.
Extending your security team
Vectra MDR is a security team multiplier that adds to your analyst team with expertise and insights gained across hundreds of customer environments. It creates recurring meetings where our security experts discuss global and customer-specific trends, security posture and events in your network.
Optimization of the Vectra platform
Best practice advice for integrating Vectra into existing workflows and processes, ensuring implementations are always in perfect condition and collecting the right data to provide the coverage you need.
“As cyber threats increase in scope and sophistication, security teams are faced with an overwhelming number of inadequate threat alerts and signals as they attempt to defend ever-expanding hybrid cloud attack surfaces,” he said Kevin Kennedy, Senior Vice President of Products di Vectra. “Vectra MDR provides security teams with the resources they need to stop attacks 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, whether they need our security analyst expertise to complement security operations teams or want to completely outsource threat detection and response.” Vectra MDR, together with Attack Signal Intelligence, provides security teams with both the threat signal needed to stop attacks and the resources and expertise needed to stay one step ahead of cyber attacks in modern security operations centers.”
Opportunities for the channel
Vectra MDR also offers an unprecedented opportunity for the channel, as organizations begin to realize that managed detection and response services are critical to maintaining security. "MDR is becoming a critical success factor for security teams. Vectra MDR offers our partners a whole host of new opportunities," he said Massimiliano Galvagna, Country Manager for Italy of Vectra AI.
“Our partners can offer Vectra MDR as a recurring add-on service with corresponding margins, while increasing their visibility and ability to reach customers, improving customer relationships; they can use Vectra MDR to test the waters before developing their own managed service or integrate it into their existing MDR service as a value-add.” Because Vectra MDR also leverages Attack Signal Intelligence to improve security effectiveness, partners can rest assured that instead of receiving thousands of alerts, they will only receive alerts for the most critical unknown threats. And that makes a difference for both partners and customers."
