Gartner Selects Netswitch as Representative of New Breed of Cyber-Security Managed Detection and Response Vendors

The Gartner Group has just issued a new market guide for Cyber-Security services describing what it is calling “Managed Detection and Response” and naming Netswitch Technology as a market representative provider in the space.

South San Francisco, CA, May 17, 2016 – The Gartner Group has just issued a new market guide for Cyber-Security services describing what it is calling “Managed Detection and Response” and naming Netswitch Technology as a market representative provider in the space.

The report, targeted to security leaders and available to Gartner subscribers was authored by senior Gartner security analysts, Toby Bussa, Craig Lawson and Kelly M. Kavanagh, identifies new service providers that are emerging to support organizations seeking to improve their threat detection and incident response capabilities.

“We are delighted that Gartner has included us in this category of market leaders along with Cisco, Raytheon and FireEye”, says Steve King, COO and Chief Security Officer of Netswitch. “Our unique SaaS offering is based on our Securli Advanced Threat Protection platform and our SecurliXF extended threat intelligence service. This service correlates disparate data feeds from a variety of sources both public and proprietary to provide predictive threat intelligence along with our monitoring, incident response and remediation capabilities. The result is actionable threat intelligence delivered on a 24×7 clock.”

As Marc van Zadelhoff, the head of IBM Security recently pointed out, “Even if the industry was able to fill the estimated 1.5 million open cyber security jobs by 2020, we’d still have a skills crisis in security.” Managed Detection and Response providers fill that critical security skills gap by providing expert detection and remediation service to deal with today’s increasingly complex threats. Private businesses and public companies will find it challenging to deal with these threats alone.

Netswitch’s business model allows them to manage the monitoring tools selected by the customer and through their three partner SOCs – two in the U.S. and one in Hong Kong – provide 24/7 monitoring, incident investigation, alerting and remediation services with a 15-minute response SLA. Netswitch is predominantly used by midsize organizations today, but is also targeting enterprises with its MDR service. The service is priced on the number of log sources and the security monitoring tools selected from the Netswitch technology portfolio.

Gartner points out that by 2020, 15% of midsize and enterprise organizations will be using services like MDR, up from less than 1% today. And, by 2020, 50% of worldwide MSSPs will offer MDR-type services.

Gartner recommends that IT security leaders should
1) Use MDR services to augment existing security monitoring capabilities to address gaps in advanced threat detection and incident response before investing in more security monitoring tools (e.g., security information and event management [SIEM], network, and host-threat detection), and associated staff and expertise.
2) Consider managed security service providers (MSSPs) that offer MDR-like services when device management and compliance use cases are required.
3) Look for MDR providers who can incorporate your existing security controls in the scope of their services to improve context and coverage.

Security leaders should use this research to understand the MDR services market and it’s fit for their security monitoring and incident response requirements.

What is Dynamic Case Management?

Dynamic Case Management provides solutions to specific issues that need to be resolved in an organization, at any given time. The cases come from loosely structured requests (internal and external), such as: incidents, claims, requests for goods or services, records, projects, etc., they follow many alternative paths and end when the case has been resolved.

How are the Cases Managed?

A tool for efficiently undertaking Dynamic Case Management must have numerous integrated capabilities, such as:

• Management by BPM Processes

• Business Rules Management (not to be confused with Process Rules)

• Agile management of Documents and Web Content

• Elements of Information, Communication and Collaboration between employees and with people external to the entity

• Processes with the ability to deviate the flow at any given time, to other processes (with or without return)

• Management of mandatory tasks, both planned and unplanned, with Dynamic Forms capable of appearing and being hidden according to the circumstances

• Agile creation of additional steps for the element control of the cases

• Tools to observe, control and analyze the execution of each case as a whole, as well as analyze the combined results of terminated cases for continuous process improvement

• Etc.
