KEY REQUIREMENTS
Discover the MDR tailored to your organization's needs
True 360° Visibility
Is it really 360° visibility if their SIEM is a black box where you can’t write queries, modify alerting thresholds, or dig into events? We don’t think so.
Pondurance’s full-featured, open SIEM gives you visibility across a wide range of log sources. Get real-time insights and tailor dashboards and alerts to your needs — while integrating with your existing environment.
Right-sized solution
Mid-market organizations that deal with PHI and PII need more insight than a purely-automated solution can provide — without the enterprise bloat.
Pondurance puts the “Managed” back in MDR, combining the best threat detection technology with human intelligence from analysts who get to know you and your organization.
No more alert fatigue
Many providers rely heavily on automation and flood your team with raw, unfiltered alerts and too many false positives.
Pondurance combines powerful tech with real human insight. As a truly “Managed” Detection and Response solution, every alert is reviewed and enriched by a U.S.-based SOC analyst who understands your unique risk profile.
Total protection in one vendor
Wrangling multiple vendors for breach planning, compliance, MDR, and Incident Response is a drain on already limited cybersecurity resources.
Pondurance customers benefit from having access to Advisory, MDR, Vulnerability Management, Compliance, and Incident Response — all from a single trusted provider aligned to your goals.
