Vectra, a network threat detection and response (NDR) provider, has announced a range of new advisory and operational cybersecurity services that enable companies to increase the efficiency of security operations and significantly reduce the risk of data breaches
The provider said organisations deploying their Cognito NDR platform would be able to improve their incident response performance. This is accomplished by drawing on years of professional expertise in AI and security operations across hundreds of global organisations.
Since Vectra's inception, AI has been at the heart of its expertise in constructing, deploying and supporting NDR’s functionality and benefits for the global enterprise.
“Utilising AI to address the current skills and resources gap is still a relatively new practice, and much of the world is shifting operations to the cloud,” said Jennifer Wang, vice-president of customer success at Vectra.
“We bring an experienced lens during this transformation that enables customers to understand and address the full scope of risks across the new threat landscape,” she added.
The company’s new advisory and operational services provide organisations with 24/7 access to Vectra consultants and analysts.
This announcement includes two major services for Vectra customers:
-Vectra Advisory Services assist CISOs and management teams to better align security operations capabilities with business risks.
-Vectra Sidekick Services offer access to experienced security analysts who provide prioritised recommendations and collaborate with customers to enhance overall security posture.
Benefits of advisory and operational services include:
-Improved maturity of security operations to better identify and mitigate the increased attack surface of the cloud, IoT and remote workers.
-Accelerated time-to-value of NDR projects by speeding up deployment, integration and analyst enablement while reducing risk.
“As we continue to grow and expand our global presence, protecting our customers’ business and fully enabling their security capabilities is fundamental to our ‘customer-first’ company culture,” said Vectra CEO Hitesh Sheth. “These additions complement our award-winning customer service and Cognito platform, which reduce security risks and enable incident response capabilities from cloud to data centre to enterprise.”
With new red-team penetration testing and IR services joining the roster in the next quarter, Vectra will further expand its capacity to assist customers with safety preparations, compliance testing and incident response (IR) actions.
