Overall Satisfaction with eSentire
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
- 24x7 monitoring.
- Provides co-managed solution (in most cases).
Cons
- Ability to take remedial action during an event.
- Acting on lower-criticality concerns.
- Positive ROI due to minimal security staff expenses.
- Negative ROI due to some security events not being actioned.
- CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection, Rapid7 InsightVM (Nexpose), Sumo Logic and Splunk Enterprise Security (ES)
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.
