With Trustwave, the Best in MDR Just Got Better | Trustwave

Written by Tom Powledge | Jun 14, 2022

Trustwave has created new Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services to deliver unmatched capabilities tailored to fit an organization regardless of size or budget. 

While larger organizations may have the resources for heavy security investments, small and medium enterprises (SME) often struggle to keep up with this punishing pace and finding enough qualified security personnel can be even more challenging with the ongoing skills shortage. 

Trustwave's managed security offering ensures access to the same threat detection and response capabilities as a large enterprise but on an SME budget.

Trustwave's MDR service provides:

  1. Rapid Time to Value- No one in the industry is faster to value, it takes seconds to ingest data with production of outcomes within 10 minutes or less, and an organization can be onboarded in as little as 10 days.
  2. Faster Personalized Response- No one in the industry responds faster* than Trustwave with a Mean-Time-to-Respond of less than 30 minutes with a personalized client-defined response protocol which is seamlessly integrated into our SOC workflows.
  3. Unrivalled Threat Intelligence –The culmination of decades of experience and global threat intelligence leadership is infused into our service offers which allow us to detect what others can’t. We’re prolific in finding threats and vulnerabilities.
  4. Dedicated Cyber Success Team - Named resources support our clients from onboarding to the life of their contracts. With intimate knowledge of client environments, we deliver faster and more efficient response and resolution.

Client-Defined Response Protocols

Trustwave also understands that organizations have a different tolerance for how much control they wish to give to the cybersecurity provider. Some clients may wish to be included in every decision; others recognize that a proper and fast response is best left to the experts.

These protocols place the client in complete control. By setting a response level before an incident takes place Trustwave can begin responding on the client’s behalf immediately without waiting for permission.

Trustwave MDR – A Solution for Small and Medium Enterprise

At the center of the offering is the Trustwave Fusion platform, our purpose-built, cloud-native security operations platform. Trustwave has designed Fusion to integrate with hybrid multi-cloud environments to provide complete coverage. 

However, access to Trustwave SpiderLabs' resources is only one aspect of the package.

“Trustwave MDR’s fast time to value and fast time to respond help accelerate value for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR clients on their cybersecurity investments,” said Tom Barsi, Vice President Worldwide Cortex Ecosystems at Palo Alto Networks. “The combination of Palo Alto Networks Cortex Portfolio along with Trustwave’s SpiderLabs, and cloud-native Fusion platform, delivers a truly integrated offering to customers.”

The Trustwave Security Colony Difference

As part of each package, our MDR customers gain access to the Trustwave Security Colony, a unique service that includes an extensive library of documents, templates, presentations, and video assets covering more than 400 cybersecurity topics derived from thousands of actual security consulting engagements performed by Trustwave.
