Complete Signal Coverage for
Confident Threat Detection
From day one, Critical Start MDR identifies and helps mitigate unmonitored infrastructure to provide the greatest risk reduction.
Don't Let Blind Spots Become Opportunities for Adversaries
Most MDR providers fall short of expectations, leaving critical security gaps. Effective MDR relies on three essential elements that many providers miss:
Visibility Challenges
Coverage Challenges
Signal Quality Challenges
Dynamic Technology Landscape
Shadow IT (e.g., unmanaged devices or software) and new devices hide among multiple security tools, creating visibility gaps.
Validation Gaps and Failed Signal Collection
Failed endpoint and vulnerability scanning agents, missed SIEM log sources, and telemetry ingestion failures create critical gaps in threat detection.
Missing Correlations
Security data remains fragmented without integrated tools, limiting the ability to connect related events. This weakens threat analysis and increases the risk of missed threats.
Incomplete Asset Visibility
Unidentified assets across IT and OT environments create easy targets for attackers.
Security Coverage Gaps
Missing agents and overlooked log sources across diverse technologies weaken your defenses.
From Total Visibility to Trusted Defense
With deep integration, comprehensive data collection, and prioritized response, your SOC can detect and respond to threats with confidence, knowing that they are receiving all expected signals.
Multi-vendor Integration
Start with context-aware integration across hundreds of tools and security sources
Blind Spot and Coverage Gap Detection
Assure signal collection from every expected security source
Asset Criticality
Prioritize response based on potential business impact
Multi-vendor Integration
Seamlessly integrate with industry leading security solutions and ingest 100+ log sources for complete signal coverage.
Unify asset inventories across multiple data feeds for a single source of truth
Extend comprehensive visibility and threat detection across complex infrastructure technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) networks
Gain proactive and reactive security against a wider range of threat types, including identity, email, and cloud
Blind Spot and Coverage Gap Detection
- Discover Data Source Errors
Find overlooked SIEM log sources that you have available so you can prioritize them for ingest; Compare SIEM log ingestion data to pre-determined thresholds to see where log monitoring has failed. Use this data to ensure complete SIEM coverage across your IT estate. - Detect Endpoint Coverage Gaps
Compare configured and integrated EDR endpoint coverage against asset sources to determine assets that lack agents. You can use asset criticality ratings to quickly prioritize remediation to best reduce the risk of a breach across your most vital assets. - Optimize Vulnerability Scanning
Check for vulnerability scanner deployment across all asset sources, including and beyond vulnerability scanning tool inventories, to determine gaps in coverage and prioritize remediation based on quantifiable risk reduction metrics.
Asset Criticality
- Understand what assets need to be protected to reduce the impact of a breach.
- Customize asset criticality based on your unique business context.
- Use Asset Criticality to swiftly prioritize response actions for greater impact.
