Threat detection provider Red Canary has added new capabilities and active remediation features to its cybersecurity offerings, including protections for systems beyond the endpoint and a new active 24/7 threat response offering.
According to the company, the new threat investigation and active remediation features are designed to help customers investigate, triage and respond to threats, especially for smaller companies that lack the resources to staff in-house around-the-clock threat response.
The company says the new capabilities come after incidents like the Kaseya ransomware attack and the Log4J bugs have magnified the need for better monitoring, detection and remediation across the enterprise.
According to Red Canary, these new offerings help give the company’s solutions a more comprehensive and deeper level of threat detection and response. The firm claims its solutions detect five times as many confirmed threats as other security solutions and reduces false positives over 99%.
The company says its managed detection and response (MDR) capabilities are extending beyond the endpoint to protect enterprise endpoints, cloud workloads, network, identity and SaaS applications, with new threat investigation features that ingest alerts from security solutions in customers’ security stacks, in addition to Red Canary’s threat detection tools.
From there, the company’s threat detection experts conduct the investigations for the customer, prioritizing alerts to direct customers to the threats that matter most, Red Canary says in a press release.
The company also released Active Remediation, a new 24/7 hands-on-keyboard threat response offering, designed for smaller companies without in-house security expertise to respond to threats.
Brian Beyer, co-founder and CEO of Red Canary, says the firms’ competitors prioritize alerts triaged by a security expert, but that’s it.
“For us, it’s just the tip of the iceberg,” Beyer said in a statement. “Red Canary monitors customers’ environments around the clock and makes experts available 24/7 to detect and respond to threats across endpoint, cloud, network and SaaS apps. We believe customers deserve the best possible security, and we’re proud to be an ally in the fight.”
The company also launched Red Canary Partner Connect, a new partner program designed to arm partners with cybersecurity tools. Partners include solution providers, MSSPs, insurance firms and other technology partners.
