“We’re a small but mighty team. We must balance our time in securing our environment with effective monitoring it to protect against the latest security threats. We knew right off the bat that we wanted to rely on outside experts to handle detection and response. Looking outside our organization for trusted vendor partners to augment our security needs provides us with more resources and capabilities to properly monitor our environment and identify potential issues.”
“This agility, while beneficial in many aspects, often contrasts with Visa’s more rigorous approach to security. Our task is to bring all of these diverse environments up to Visa’s rigorous security standards quickly and efficiently.”
“We conducted red team exercises across multiple environments, comparing Expel against other leading vendors. The results clearly demonstrated Expel’s superior threat detection capabilities and its ability to provide actionable insights across our diverse technology landscape.”
“Technical architecture was a key consideration. What impressed us with Expel was its compatibility with our existing technology. Other vendors wanted us to change our tech stack or retool our systems. Expel works with our current setup and builds APIs compatible with commonly used software.”
“We approached it in two stages, which worked well. It’s mainly knowing what you want in the system and what to look for, with the flexibility to add more later.”
“We handle alerts quickly so we can maintain our focus on long-term projects.”
“We know the security better than you do, so we’re not going to listen to you.”
“A few years back, our security team was smaller than it is now, so it was focused on building security capabilities rather than monitoring tools and investigating alerts. We brought in an MDR provider to augment the value of a SIEM with real-time alerts to handle that for us and help get us better visibility into our security tools."
“We decided we needed to strengthen our security efforts to mitigate our risk of attack including future integrations into our own solutions.”
“Initially, our business model involved software that customers deployed in their own infrastructure, which allowed us to expand very quickly, and also make sure that our customers had full data sovereignty."
“In our industry, we see a lot of threats. A ransomware attack could be devastating. We can’t stop moving freight. The downstream impact to our customers, and our customers’ customers would be huge. So we’re monitoring as closely as we can.”
"Expel is the only MDR we found that could ingest so many different types of data from different types of technology platforms. Expel allows us to observe and monitor our entire environment, not just one type of technology."
