Managed XDR capability
SIEM Capability
Our Managed XDR leverages advanced SIEM technology, combining the latest in security innovation and AI to deliver near real-time intelligent security analytics, providing a comprehensive overview of your entire IT estate.
The solution allows you to consume security-related data from diverse sources, including on-premises and cloud environments. It can be integrated into leading cloud SIEM solutions such as Microsoft Sentinel or CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM, reducing the need for complex and costly infrastructure management and offering a scalable, cloud-native SIEM that adapts to your evolving needs.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Capability
