Leading MDR provider lauded for AI-driven approach,

any size or security maturity
Expel, the leading managed detection and response (MDR)
provider, today announced that IDC named the company a Leader in
the 2024 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Emerging Managed Detection
and Response (MDR) Services. IDC recognized Expel for its
commitment to delivering comprehensive security solutions, fueled
by its purpose-built security operations platform, Expel
Workbench™. IDC also called Expel's AI-based automated enrichment,
correlation, and investigative activities—integrated within
Workbench—a strength, and urges organizations of all sizes, with or
without established SOC operations, to consider Expel MDR when
looking to outsource threat management.
“We’re on the cutting edge of MDR because we strike the right
balance of automation and human expertise, delivering usually
unheard of positive outcomes—like our sub-23-minute MTTR
[mean-time-to-respond],” said Dave Merkel, CEO and co-founder,
Expel. “Our unique approach provides customers with 100%
transparency in our security operations, offering them the ability
to follow along with every step of the investigation as a true
security partner for customers. Recognition as a Leader in the IDC
MarketScape further fortifies our commitment to pioneering an
approach to MDR that’s unmatched in customer value.”
The report, designed to provide a clear framework to
meaningfully evaluate MDR providers in the market, commends the
automation at the core of Expel’s MDR services, which enables rapid
alert enrichment, triage, and auto-responses. Expel’s multilayered
automation (including Tier 1 SOC automation with Ruxie™, Expel’s AI
SOC analyst), also ensures efficient processing and incident
response—providing essential context and helping analysts make the
best decisions, fast.
With 120+ native integrations, Expel’s coverage spans an extreme
breadth and depth of environments, such as: endpoint detection and
response (EDR), identity and access management (IAM) tools, cloud
control plane, cloud workloads (including Kubernetes), SaaS apps,
