Seize New Opportunities Securely
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, the ability to seize new opportunities while ensuring robust security is paramount.
With a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) system in place, you can confidently explore untapped potentials without compromising your data and assets.
You need to work with Excite Cyber.
Managed Endpoint Detection & Response
The endpoint attack surface is critical for modern businesses. Endpoints encompass end user devices including laptops, desktops, and tablets, as well as core infrastructure components including servers and virtual machines. These devices perform various roles within the organization and so they play a critical role in supporting business functions. Downtime or compromise within the endpoint estate can carry a significant impact to business performance.
Beyond compromising availability, a compromise to the confidentiality of sensitive or proprietary data represents a sizeable threat. These cyber threats can often begin their journey through a customer environment at the endpoint. The access and/or extraction of an organisation’s sensitive data can see this valuable digital asset sold on the dark web. Nefarious actors may utilise this information to perform additional and surveillance on the business or key individuals or incorporate it into a larger cyber threat program.
The Managed Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) leverages market leading technology to customers to protect their most valuable assets. The power of this technology will be harnessed by our Australian-sovereign 24x7x365 Security Operations Centre (SOC). Combing Excite Cyber’s pedigree in delivering security operations services, and market-leading endpoint protection platforms, customers can rest assured that their vital digital assets are protected from cyber threats.
Who Needs These Services
The protection of endpoints is critical to businesses of any size. For customers who are looking to begin their security journey by securing their critical digital assets or are looking for support in supplement an existing security operations capability with specific coverage, the Managed EDR service will be the right fit for your organisation.
For larger organizations, it may be more appropriate to ensure security operations monitoring is in place beyond the endpoint, for example, including network and identity sources; for these requirements, the Managed Detection & Response service may be more appropriate.
The Managed EDR service is applicable to customers from all industries. Excite Cyber currently delivers services of this nature to organisations across finance, healthcare, travel and tourism, and not-for-profit (NFP). Each sector brings its unique challenges and nuance, although we aim to standardise our approach in the context of the evolving threat landscape.
