As an MSSP, there is no overstating the intense and well-founded focus on pervasive network security.
Whether an organization is looking to secure the network, endpoint, email, cloud, applications, identity, or anything in between, security professionals are overwhelmed with the sheer volume of tools, technologies, and security methodologies that need to be considered.
Regardless of vertical or segment focus, all organizations have been struggling for years to design and deploy a comprehensive, scalable, and effective security architecture to mitigate these constant and increasing threats.
Organizations are in desperate need of solutions and strategies to identify, assess and remediate threats by applying analytics to collected telemetry data.
One of the biggest challenges these organizations face is dealing with too many alerts and managing all the issues, which makes it difficult to decide where to focus their valuable time, effort, and resources.
Because of these challenges, more and more organizations are turning to MSSPs.
These providers help them discern, implement, and manage the most effective solutions and methodologies to achieve, maintain and continuously assess their security posture.
One solution that many MSSPs and their customers are evaluating and adopting is Extended Detection and Response platforms.
The collection of telemetry from multiple security tools.
An effective XDR platform takes data from several elements, moves that data into a data lake, applies threat intelligence, asset context, user context and compares it against the MITRE framework.
The reduction in investigation time and the ability to accelerate response time leads to increased operational efficiency within an organization.
Improve detection, reporting, and response to threats through automation.
By focusing on these outcomes, the solutions can effectively enhance overall security.
Cisco XDR is a powerful SaaS-based platform which natively correlates telemetry data allowing users and MSSPs to identify and focus on the most critical security events which demand attention.
One key feature is the ability for Cisco's XDR to natively integrate with several 3rd party solutions across endpoint, network, cloud and application improving security efficacy.
This is a critical capability due to the expansive landscape of security vendors being used by most customers and MSSPs.
In addition to the power and versatility of Cisco's XDR offering, customers and MSSPs will be able to consume Cisco XDR through various flexible consumption models.
Increasingly, within the multi-vendor security landscape, customers and MSSPs are choosing to consume many SaaS based offers, like Cisco XDR, via utility, post-paid model licensing agreements.
In short, as an MSSP supporting multiple customers with both common and customized needs, Cisco XDR is a powerful solution which should be considered as one which addresses concerns over increasingly complex and multiplying threats, budget constraints, evolving compliance requirements and alert fatigue fueled by an ever-growing and segregated set of security tools.
As a leader within the MSSP market, please reference the resources below to familiarize yourself with the power of Cisco XDR and how it will help you further differentiate your organization within the Managed Security market.
