New threat detection enhancements extend 24/7 threat monitoring efficacy for small business and midmarket enterprise customers, minimizing the possibility of critical business disruptions.
DALLAS, TX – February 15, 2022 – Cyberattacks often exploit weaknesses in company IT environments, particularly for small businesses and midmarket enterprises. These attacks can severely disrupt operations, especially for businesses heavily reliant on their IT infrastructure. To address this growing threat, Gradient Cyber, a leading provider of cybersecurity and Security Operations as a Service (SOCaaS), announced new enhancements to its Extended Detection and Response (XDR) offerings. A key part of this update is the introduction of the Multi-Stage Threat Detection Ecosystem™, integrated within Gradient Cyber’s SecOps Delivery Platform™.
“In today’s cyber threat environment, cybersecurity is a 24/7 mission-critical capability for not only large enterprises but also small and midmarket businesses,” said Stan Blanton, Chief Technology Officer of Gradient Cyber. “Gradient Cyber provides both the technology and the cybersecurity talent to deliver SOC as a service at a cost-effective price point. We continually invest in our Vector Security Team, ensuring they remain equipped to outpace adversaries while continually enhancing our cloud-native SecOps Delivery Platform.”
Key Enhancements in the Gradient Cyber SecOps Delivery Platform
Gradient Cyber’s latest updates enhance its XDR service offerings, further improving threat detection and response capabilities for its customers:
-
Multi-Stage Threat Detection Ecosystem™: This new feature delivers major improvements in threat detection, including bi-directional NetFlow enhancements, IDS/IPS filter enhancements, Log4j filters, and advanced login analytics for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. These capabilities ensure stronger protection across multiple layers of an organization's IT infrastructure.
-
Expanded EDR Tool Integrations: Gradient Cyber has integrated with additional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools, including Microsoft Defender for Endpoints and Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly Cisco AMP EDR). These integrations expand Gradient Cyber's ability to protect more elements of customers' IT infrastructures.
-
New Mobile App for Real-Time Access: The newly released mobile app for Apple iOS and Android provides real-time, 24/7 access to critical threat newsfeeds and response communications. This feature is particularly important for timely notifications of high-severity threats, enabling customers to respond faster and reduce risks.
-
CMMC 2.0 Compliance Tracking: Gradient Cyber's SecOps Delivery Platform now includes support for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0, allowing customers to track and maintain compliance with the latest CMMC 2.0 requirements.
Why These Enhancements Matter
The cybersecurity landscape is increasingly complex, and small to midmarket enterprises are particularly vulnerable. Without the resources to manage full-time security operations, these businesses can face catastrophic disruptions due to cyberattacks. Gradient Cyber's enhanced XDR capabilities help bridge the gap, offering continuous threat detection and response at an affordable cost.
By integrating tools like Microsoft Defender for Endpoints and Cisco Secure Endpoint, Gradient Cyber’s platform ensures more comprehensive security coverage. The introduction of the Multi-Stage Threat Detection Ecosystem™ and bi-directional NetFlow analytics further strengthens security by detecting threats earlier, across multiple layers of IT infrastructure.
For businesses, having real-time access to security alerts through the new mobile app ensures that critical issues can be addressed anytime, anywhere, minimizing the potential impact of cyber incidents.
Conclusion
With these new enhancements, Gradient Cyber is delivering advanced, next-generation XDR capabilities tailored to the needs of small businesses and midmarket enterprises.
