Proficio Included in Gartner’s 2023 Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services for Sixth Year in a Row

/by

Carlsbad, Calif. – February 16, 2023 – Proficio, a managed security services provider (MSSP) delivering managed detection and response (MDR) services, today announced they have been recognized once again as a Representative Vendor in Gartner’s 2023 Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services*. Gartner has been tracking the changes in the MDR market, sharing that the high-growth MDR market expanded nearly 50% worldwide from 2020 to 2021.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by Gartner, once again, in their Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services,” said Brad Taylor, CEO, Proficio. “We pride ourselves in being an innovator in our space and will continue to invest in our solution so our clients can rapidly and accurately respond to and contain high-fidelity threats. We’re proud to be included in this Market Guide and be recognized by Gartner for a sixth time.” 

In their Market Guide, Gartner explains that “successful MDR service providers offer a focus on high-fidelity threat detection, investigation and mitigative response with high verbosity, and human interpretable reporting aligned to business-focused risks.” They highlight the capabilities of MDR service providers and offer recommendations for security operations leaders, including:

  • “Assess how the MDR provider’s containment approach and incident reporting can integrate with your organization and whether actions can be performed on your behalf to align with business requirements as well as compliance/legal policy/government regulation.
  • Attain the maximum benefit from MDR services by preparing response workflow processes and integrating existing ticket management systems to ensure a business-centric response.
  • Investigate whether the MDR provider’s service is able to align with your business-driven requirements and provide actionable findings that internal teams can successfully react to, rather than settling for regurgitated technology outputs with no added analysis.”

Proficio provides 24/7 protection through our global network of Modern Security Operations Centers (MSOCs), where our experts monitor, investigate and triage suspicious events around the clock. Our MDR service provides a cloud native SIEM/SOAR/XDR solution, or we support SOC-as-a-Service for clients Splunk, MS Sentinel, or Elastic SIEM platforms. We can integrate directly with our clients SOAR or ITSM platforms using our ServiceNow eBonding or we offer a SOAR-as-a-Service solution providing customized incident response playbooks for incident response, containment, recovery, and our automated threat response solution, Active Defense. We also offer dedicated SOC teams for clients needing a more white-glove monitoring service. Proficio has always incorporated business context modeling to understand the unique client environment zones, criticalities, vulnerabilities, priorities, and policies. We then use this information to enhance threat validation and enrich alerting to enable triage for actionable and rapid response.

Proficio Extends Industry Leading XDR Offering with Push-Button Threat Response

/by

CARLSBAD –  August 17, 2022 – Proficio, a leading Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service provider, today announced the addition of an innovative new feature to their threat response offering. Proficio’s Active Defense offering now includes automated response and a new push-button response feature. These capabilities work with clients’ existing security tools to contain attacks at the perimeter, endpoint, cloud, and identity layer.

Active Defense XDR, was developed to provide an added layer of protection by instantly containing high-fidelity threats without human intervention. With the addition of the push-button feature, Proficio clients can now respond even quicker to potential threats – taking action at the click of a button, either within the Proficio Incident Case Management ITSM portal or on their workstation, tablet or mobile phone. Depending on the attack vector and use cases that trigger a response, the new push-button approach allows for threat responders within Proficio’s SOC team or a client’s security team to undertake further validation before taking an action like isolating an endpoint or suspending a user account.

“Proficio has always been known for our innovation and was the first in our category to truly offer the “response” capability that is a critical part of Managed Detection and Response (MDR),” says Brad Taylor, CEO of Proficio. “Many of our clients do not have a staff on 24/7, which is why they partner with Proficio. With these new capabilities, we have taken our response capabilities to a new level and given our clients even more peace of mind that their networks are protected around the clock.”

Proficio continues to invest in their MDR capabilities, adding enhancements including data enrichment of alert notifications, so Proficio’s SOC team can more efficiently respond to alerts and provide quick actions for critical threats. With Proficio’s robust service offering, which includes Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM), Identity Threat Detection and Response, and Managed Infrastructure Services, their clients have access to a full-service cybersecurity solution that can be customized to fit their security and compliance needs.
