Industry’s First Global, 24×7 Open MXDR Service launched
Built to Defend Against Hybrid Attacks
As enterprises increasingly adopt hybrid and multi-cloud environments, the threat landscape has also shifted towards hybrid attacks. This has made traditional threat detection solutions obsolete in defending against these attacks, creating a greater need for comprehensive threat detection across the expanding hybrid attack surface. However, implementing multiple detection solutions has caused a fragmentation of tools and rules, leading to an overwhelming number of alerts for Security Operations Centre [SOC] leaders to manage.
Recent studies have shown that SOC teams are spending an average of four hours per day manually sifting through alerts. This influx of work has resulted in excessive strain, exhaustion, and high turnover rates among SOC analysts. As teams struggle with this issue, attackers are taking advantage of the complexity, delays, and distractions to carry out undetected lateral movement, advance their attacks, and steal sensitive data. In order to prevent modern hybrid attacks from becoming breaches, SOC teams require fast and accurate signal coverage at scale.
Vectra AI, Inc., announced the launch of Vectra MXDR (Managed Extended Detection and Response) services, the industry’s first open, 24×7 MXDR service. Through integrations with leading EDR vendors, this comprehensive offering eliminates silos and provides hybrid attack surface visibility across identity, public cloud, SaaS, data centre, cloud networks and endpoints.
In Vectra MXDR, enterprises can eliminate the need for multiple providers by consolidating all aspects of threat detection and response into one unified service.Integrations with the industry’s leading EDR platforms, including Crowdstrike, SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender, enable Vectra AI’s MXDR analysts to monitor the health of an entire security system and take direct action no matter where the signal comes from.
David Sajoto, Regional Vice President, APJ said “With cyber attacks growing in frequency and sophistication, it’s increasingly important to make sure security controls are being optimised 24/7/365 in order to stay ahead of advanced hybrid attackers. The Vectra AI Platform is now delivered as a full XDR solution across all hybrid attack surfaces with rich integrated signal from Vectra Attack Signal Intelligence.”
“Combined with MXDR analysts, Vectra MXDR delivers a cohesive and robust security solution for any organisation to move at the speed and scale of today’s hybrid attacks – adding further support to SOC teams with round-the-clock outcomes,” he added.
The advantages of Vectra MXDR include complete coverage, clarity, and control across the entire hybrid attack surface.
“The reality is enterprises need a combination of endpoint protection solution and network security tools to safeguard against hybrid attacks,” said Gary Ruiz, VP, WW Professional Services at Vectra AI. “Our approach to XDR is unique because not only are we integrating these technologies into one offering but we’re using our AI-driven signal to gather insights across the entire hybrid attack surface to find the real attacks.”
“By adding the services component with Vectra MXDR”, Ruiz said, “we’re introducing that human element to the process to help customers implement and manage this integrated approach. Our experts are monitoring around the clock and helping customers deal with incidents by responding and remediating them on their behalf, which significantly reduces workloads for SOC teams. It really allows us to be a lot more effective for our customers.”
