Achieve the full operating potential of your CrowdStrike Pro, Enterprise, or Elite investments
The combination of CrowdStrike Falcon with CRITICALSTART® Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services goes far beyond just monitoring alerts. It increases visibility across hybrid device types and operating systems to stop the most advanced attacks, reduce risk exposure, eliminate alert fatigue, and optimize the efficiency of security operations centers (SOC).
Consolidated and improved visibility of your environment all in a single interface.
Get fewer false positives over time which dramatically reduces alert fatigue and analyst burnout.
Our Cyber Research Unit (CRU) helps you stay ahead of the latest threats by building, enriching and adding threat intelligence to your security tools.
We do all the heavy lifting for you, so you don’t have to.
Critical Start MDR adapts to your environment to deliver the full power of CrowdStrike Falcon Pro, Enterprise, or Elite.
Our bi-directional integration ingests every endpoint alert from CrowdStrike Falcon into our Cyber Operations Risk and Response™ platform, where they’re compared against known good behaviors in the Trusted Behavior Registry® (TBR) and playbooks auto-resolve known good alerts at scale. Alerts not matching the TBR are escalated to our Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts for further enrichment and investigation. Best of all, we can take response actions on your behalf, and we will work with you until remediation is complete.
The managed detection and response service has significantly increased our analysts’ efficiency to the point that they can focus on other areas of the business.
