Threat detection and response – Cyber Managed Services

Confidently prepare, identify, respond to, investigate and remediate threats

The challenge: Relentless attacks on your security operations against malware variants requires constant vigilance. This creates a burden for CISOs and their teams to identify and prevent these new threats.

There are many obstacles your organization faces when trying to mitigate these issues: skill shortages, manual data correlation, chasing false positives and lengthy investigations.
