eSentire announced that it has achieved Amazon
Web Services (AWS) Level 1 Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) Competency
status. This new baseline standard of quality for managed security services was
introduced by AWS to benefit cloud environments of any size and it spans six
security domains: vulnerability management, cloud security best practices and
compliance, threat detection and response, network security, host and endpoint
security, and application security. The six domains contain multiple MSSP
services, each with technical skillset and operational process requirements
specific to AWS.
eSentire simplifies multi-cloud
security by defending environments from advanced persistent threats and
sophisticated attackers. Its multi-signal Managed Detection and Response
offering delivers advanced detection, rapid human-led investigation and
response capabilities through a combination of Machine Learning, Team and
Operational Leadership:
Machine
Learning: Powerful XDR Platform - eSentire's cloud-native Atlas XDR
Cloud Platform is the
foundation of eSentire MDR, providing security, reliability and redundancy at
scale & on demand, so eSentire's services can grow in alignment with
customer business transformations. Leveraging patented machine learning and
artificial intelligence models, Atlas ingests over 20M signals daily, automatically
disrupting 3M threats to filter out high fidelity malicious events so its 24/7
SOC and Threat Response Unit can deliver 6000 daily human-led threat
investigations, with a Mean Time to Contain of 15 minutes.
Team: 24/7 Cloud Security
Posture Management -
eSentire actively manages the cloud security posture of organizations globally,
reducing risk by improving cloud visibility, tracking assets and monitoring for
security vulnerabilities & potential misconfigurations. The firm's 24/7 SOC Cyber Analysts and Elite Threat Hunters
detect emerging cloud threat tactics before they impact resources. They are
supported by eSentire's Threat
Response Unit (TRU) who
identifies the latest attacker techniques with proprietary cloud detectors
mapped against the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Operational
Leadership: Proven Processes - eSentire delivers effective analysis, investigation, escalation
and response processes refined over a two-decade history of delivering Managed
Detection and Response services to high-value targets. Its experts rapidly

the first AWS Partners to achieve AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency status. We are
dedicated to helping businesses globally secure their multi-cloud environments
with improved threat detection, 24/7 threat hunting, deep investigation

eSentire Chief Product Officer. "We have supported over 1,000 organizations
globally in achieving their business transformation goals, and we look forward
to leveraging the agility, breadth of services and pace of innovation that AWS
provides as we expand our support for additional AWS services."
Global
creative communications network, M&C Saatchi Group, works with eSentire to
help protect its cloud workloads. "I need to know we're defended 24/7 by the
best in the business," said Neil Waugh, Chief Information Officer for M&C
Saatchi. "With eSentire Managed Detection and Response, my team is supported
around the clock by highly skilled security analysts and Elite Threat Hunters.
I know that my cloud environment is being continuously monitored and potential
vulnerabilities or misconfigurations are being addressed."
eSentire's achievement of
the AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency is fresh off the heels of eSentire being named
an IDC Managed Detection and Response Leader and announcing the acquisition of digital
forensics technology leader CyFIR. Following the
acquisition, eSentire introduced its complete Cyber
Investigations Portfolio, which includes Emergency Incident Response, Security
Incident Response Planning Services and an Incident Response retainer offering
which is disrupting the market with a 4-hour remote threat suppression
service level agreement.
