Report provides “co-managed security monitoring as services that provide remote maintenance and monitoring of client-owned threat detection, investigation and response (TDIR) capable products.”
Carlsbad, CA, April 2, 2024 —Proficio, a leading Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Provider, today announced they were named a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner Market Guide for Co-Managed Security Monitoring Services1. We believe that this recognition underscores Proficio’s commitment to empowering clients with flexible co-managed security monitoring services, particularly through their SOC-as-a-Service delivery model.
In their Market Guide, Gartner states, “Threat detection, investigation and response products are challenging to deploy, maintain, and operate. Co-managed security monitoring services aid security and risk management leaders in the operation, configuration, and maintenance of these products with a lower SOC staffing overhead.”
Leveraging its global network of Modern Security Operations Centers (MSOCs), Proficio offers adaptable and comprehensive co-managed security monitoring services. Whether providing off-hours support for clients’ SOC or delivering 24/7 monitoring, investigation, and triage of suspicious activities, Proficio ensures robust protection. Through their MDR service, clients can benefit from a range of solutions, including cloud-native SIEM/SOAR/XDR or support SOC-as-a-Service, that provides seamless integration with client-owned endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR) and security information and event management (SIEM) platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, or Elastic SIEM.
Proficio goes further by enabling direct integration with clients’ SOAR or ITSM platforms using ServiceNow eBonding or offering a SOAR-as-a-Service solution equipped with customized incident response playbooks and an automated threat response solution called Active Defense.
Central to Proficio’s approach is business context modeling, which enables them to understand each client’s unique environment, including zones, criticalities, vulnerabilities, priorities, and policies. This deep understanding enhances threat validation and enriches alerting, enabling actionable and rapid responses to potential threats.
“We view our recognition as a resounding validation of the value we bring to our clients, characterized by comprehensive and flexible service models tailored to meet individual client needs,” says Brad Taylor, CEO at Proficio.
