Product Details

What is Expel?

Expel offers a bring-your-own-tech SOC-as-a-Service providing 24 hour threat monitoring for cloud resources (AWS, Azure, GCP), on prem-infrastructure using any EDR, network tools, and SIEM already in place, and SaaS apps like Okta and Microsoft 365. Beyond their flagship MDR, Expel also offers the Expel Workbench for AWS (add-on or standalone), with a Workbench product that gives Expel-validated alerts and guided investigative actions to identify potential security incidents, and Expel managed phishing.

The core Expel MDR service plugs into the cloud services and security tech the user owns so Expel can monitor and tell users, 24x7, when there’s something needed to care about, why and what is needed to make sure secrets stay secret.

Expel proves to be a valuable solution for users facing various business problems related to their security operations. With Expel's 24/7 MDR services, users can focus on improving their security posture and maturity while enjoying a restful night's sleep. By providing round-the-clock support for escalated issues, Expel enables users to build in-house talent for their Security Operations function without the need to establish their own Security Operations Center. This eliminates the burden of hiring and training additional staff, addressing the problem of staffing constraints that many organizations face.

One of the key problems that Expel helps users tackle is handling high volumes of alert information from multiple systems and technologies. The platform allows users to efficiently manage this influx of alerts without requiring excessive skilled manpower. In addition, Expel excels in managing threat detection and response, reducing complexity in Information Security operational processes. Users appreciate Expel's ability to prioritize and focus on the most critical security threats they face, enabling them to address those threats effectively.

Expel's value extends beyond simplifying security operations. It also provides valuable insights through its relevant, well-researched, and actionable alerts. Users benefit from the platform's surge staffing, public cloud security expertise, and 24/7 security operations center services for effective cybersecurity detection and response. Furthermore, Expel assists users in initial event triage, helping them identify incidents amidst the noise and allocate resources effectively.

For small security teams, Expel proves to be particularly beneficial with its 24/7 coverage and after-hours monitoring capabilities. The platform's support helps these teams regain resources and effectively monitor their environment, catching security events before they escalate into full incidents. Additionally, Expel addresses the cybersecurity talent shortage problem by providing SOC triaging and CSF mapping services.

Overall, Expel helps its users make sense of vast amounts of telemetry data generated by security tools and provides actionable responses for resolution. Its comprehensive suite of services solves a range of business problems, from staffing constraints to alert overload, allowing organizations to enhance their security posture and effectively respond to cyber threats.

Accurate Incident Triage: Several users have praised Expel for its incredibly precise incident triage process. They have found that the software accurately identifies and categorizes incidents, streamlining their response process and making it easier to address and resolve security issues in a timely manner.

Minimal False Positives: Users appreciate the minimal false positives generated by Expel. This reduces the time and resources wasted on chasing down non-existent issues, increasing their team's trust in the system. With fewer false alarms, users can be confident that any alerts received are genuine and warrant their attention.

Effective Auto-Remediation: The standout feature of Expel SOC is its auto-remediation process, which seamlessly integrates with escalation flows through platforms like PagerDuty. This has been described as a game-changer in terms of efficiency and productivity, allowing teams to focus on more pressing issues while automating remedial actions for identified threats.

Cumbersome Integration Set: Some users have mentioned that staying on top of the growing integration set in Expel can be challenging and overwhelming.

Lack of Thorough Onboarding: Several reviewers have expressed their concern about the onboarding process, stating that it did not include a thorough effort to determine how to handle each alert type.

Slow Detection Process: Users have reported that the detection process in Expel takes longer than expected and could be quicker, which has caused frustration for some customers.
