An attacker only needs to be right once to successfully bypass your security controls but defenders must be right every time to stop a cyberattack. Your organization needs 24/7 security monitoring, hypothesis-driven threat hunting, threat disruption, containment, and complete ...

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use eSentire's esNETWORK MDR service, their esENDPOINT and esINSIDER services. They are the cornerstone of our security posture.
Pros and Cons
  • Customer service.
  • Technical competence.
  • Product can detect day 0 issues.
  • Need to be able to effectively recruit for good talent.
Likelihood to Recommend
We need 7x24x365 network monitoring and proactive protection. eSentire can thwart an active attack which is the most critical part of the service. Unless you have your own SOC and have the ability to address potential breaches in your environment, you need a service like this. Most companies can't afford to run their own SOC.
Return on Investment
  • Detection of potential threats/breaches.
  • Remediation of threats in real time.
  • Avoidance of ransomware in the environment.
Alternatives Considered
eSentire is the best product in the MDR space for the following reasons:

- They have been around for ~20 years (mature).
- They have a proven track record of success.
- They have an ecosystem of security analysts at all levels of comptetncy.
- They have an excellent retention program that's designed to keep talent at eSentire.

eSentire gets firms up and running to a reasonable security baseline, but you should consider alternatives if you have the time and budget for it

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use eSentire to augment our security team, given that we don't have dedicated SOC or SOC personnel. eSentire performs monitoring and takes action whenever a major security issue is discovered. eSentire also manages our 3rd party cloud SIEM deployment and provides support and IP with respect to dashboards, alerts, searches, etc.
Pros and Cons
  • 24x7 monitoring.
  • Provides co-managed solution (in most cases).
  • Ability to take remedial action during an event.
  • Acting on lower-criticality concerns.
Likelihood to Recommend
eSentire provides a good service for smaller organizations or larger organizations that cannot or do not want an internal security operations team. If your organization is looking for an extremely thorough and fully customizable security program, you may want to consider doing it in-house or perhaps using eSentire to provide primarily off-hours support.
Return on Investment
  • Positive ROI due to minimal security staff expenses.
  • Negative ROI due to some security events not being actioned.
Alternatives Considered
eSentire provides a fully co-managed solution and partners with many of the top security vendors for SIEM, EDR, etc. They help onboard customers quickly and get their security stack to a reasonable baseline. Internally deploying and managing a lot of these tools (e.g. Sumo Logic, esLog, esNetwork, etc.) would take a long time and be very expensive, though in the long run is arguably better.

Pros and Cons
  • Research potentially malicious threats
  • Incredibly responsive to incidents and general inquiries
  • Deliver an effective product and process
  • Proactively provide more detailed explanation of alerts without the need for a request for more info
Likelihood to Recommend
eSentire is a very reliable managed service provider to augment IT teams of any size that are looking to strategically outsource aspects of their IT security practices. They were particularly helpful for us given the size of our team and the amount of time and money we would have had to invest for an on-premise solution managed by us.
