ReliaQuest GreyMatter vs. Sophos Intercept X for Server

Our company generates more than a terrabyte of log a day and it can easily go above 2 TB a day. We were using out of the box SOC Solution from splunk to manage our SOC. We lacked the know how of using splunk and also lacked the staff to keep the product up to date to help us tackle the latest threats. We outsourced our SIEM/SOAR service to RQ and they helped us with creating new use cases which addressed the latest threat to our organization. RQ has people who research the latest threats and helps us keep up to date on the day-to-day security operations. RQ also helps with data onboarding if required. So we would recommend RQ to customers who are short-staffed and who lack personnel who could research security threats to keep your organization safe from threat actors.

Licensing is incredibly easy to renew - and to adjust based on usage. The interface of cloud-based management is fantastic and easy to navigate as well. Syncs up with Active Directory to get users/security groups and such for easily differentiating policies to various users. Being able to pinpoint exactly where a threat infiltrated a system (what it talked to once it did so) is a massive feature in responding to online threats. Depending on deployment size - the cost could be an issue for some smaller organizations.

• Some Analysts are relatively fresh to SOC. They sometimes get put into supporting large infrastructures.
• RQ has a ton of correlation searches that they use to provide end-to-end visibility. Most of them can be restructured to get the same results and this can reduce the number of correlation searches.

Reliaquest is vendor agnostic. They have a lot of correlation searches that they use to provide security for your organizations. Compared to other products we have tried we felt that they are the only company that is doing proper market research on the latest and greatest threat to our vertical and coming out with the latest methods to keep up to date. RQ also has a good leadership structure that we could rely on if we run into any escalations. Compared to other products that we tried they try to work with you holding hands trying to resolve your problems.

Does a great job protecting our systems. Email security has more features and easy to manage. You don't have to have your own server to run the endpoint security. Auto updates the endpoint and servers. With a Managed detect response team that does human threat hunting. Overall an awesome product.

• RQ's Greymatter content has enriched our SOC experience because we always felt Splunk's out-of-the-box use cases were not sufficient enough to provide end-to-end coverage.
• RQ specializes in a lot of big data solutions so that we can rely on them to help us troubleshoot tasks and also make sure our security solutions are working accurately.
