Detection and response are two critical components of a cybersecurity strategy. They should be, anyways.
Detection involves identifying potential security threats and vulnerabilities before they cause significant damage. This is achieved through various methods like network monitoring, intrusion detection systems and behavior analysis. Once a threat is detected, the response phase involves taking immediate action to contain and mitigate the damage. This may include isolating infected systems, removing malware and restoring compromised data.
Additionally, a well-executed response can help prevent further damage and demonstrate the organization's commitment to data security. Therefore, investing in advanced detection and response technologies and training personnel is essential for safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining business continuity in today's digital landscape.
Building upon the critical role of detection and response in cybersecurity are Deepwatch and CrowdStrike with its CrowdStrike Falcon platform.
Deepwatch offers a security solution that prioritizes data ownership and flexibility. By using their decades of experience and an open data approach, Deepwatch aids enterprises with migrating their existing security data between different SIEM systems (or with adopting a more distributed architecture). This not only reduces costs and complexity; it also improves response times and maximizes the effectiveness of security investments.
CrowdStrike Falcon offers a suite of security solutions that include endpoint protection, threat intelligence and managed detection and response (MDR). Falcon utilizes machine learning algorithms to continuously analyze and adapt to evolving threat landscapes.
Together, they launched five advanced platform modules powered by the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform to deliver MDR. The modules are managed detection and response, managed endpoint detection and response, identity detection and response, cloud detection and response, and vulnerability and exposure management.
With capabilities from both platforms, the new modules accelerate customer’s SOC transformation by supporting the migration, deployment, active management, detection, and contextualized response from the Falcon platform to deliver unified holistic cyber outcomes.
“Our new Deepwatch Platform modules powered by the Falcon platform help us partner with our customers to deliver critical unified cyber outcomes they need and expect,” said Curt Aubley, Chief Operating Officer & Chief Product Officer at Deepwatch. “With CrowdStrike, we can now deliver faster detection and precise coordinated response to advanced threats across the enterprise and improve customers’ cyber resilience at much lower operational and technical costs.”
CrowdStrike believes that partnering with managed service providers like Deepwatch is essential for improving cybersecurity for businesses of all sizes.
By combining CrowdStrike’s AI-powered technology with Deepwatch’s comprehensive security operations approach, according to Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike, they provide customers with the advanced protection needed to address modern cyber threats.
