Questions to Ask Before Enhancing Your Cybersecurity Solution

It can be difficult to know what information you need when researching cybersecurity solutions. The following questions can guide you through the cybersecurity enhancement process:

We already have Microsoft Defender for Endpoint with our MS 365 E3/A3 license. Why buy another EDR tool when we already have an endpoint solution?
Some MDR providers require you to buy their EDR agent. With Alert Logic MDR, you don’t need to. We build upon your existing security investments, like Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, by collecting and aggregating the alerts into our MDR platform. Our SOC analysts will investigate Defender for Endpoint detections under our 15-minute SLA, cross correlate alerts with telemetry across your wider environment and provide actionable intelligence for complete threat containment and remediation.
What additional functionality do you get with Defender for Endpoint and Alert Logic MDR?
MDR improves your overall security posture by reducing the likelihood and impact of compromise. Our MDR console offers a single pane of glass for exposures, EDR, NDR, logs and reporting. Our SOC provide expert guidance and human validation of alerts and emerging threat hunting on the endpoint and beyond. Our automated response platform improves the response capability of your EDR and combines it with identity and network response. Ready-made response playbooks give you the flexibility to adopt automation at your own pace with human guided or fully automated response actions.
What if our organization moves away from Defender for Endpoint to another EDR in the future?
Alert Logic MDR’s collection, detection, and response capabilities work across numerous EDR vendors and tools. Our MDR solution integrates with dozens of third-party EDR vendors; if you move to a different EDR vendor in the future, we will be able to support and enhance your evolving security strategy.
