Strategic Partnership with Machine Data Analytics Pioneer Sumo Logic Protects Organizations from Current and Evolving Cyber Threats that Target Blind Spots in Current Cloud and Hybrid IT Environments

eSentire, Inc., the largest pure-play Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider, today announced a partnership with Sumo Logic, the leading cloud-native machine data analytics platform that delivers continuous intelligence.

This partnership will allow eSentire to deliver the only MDR platform that offers full spectrum detection and response capabilities across distributed IT environments through its portfolio of esNETWORK, esENDPOINT, esRECON, and now esLOG+, which spans network, endpoint, cloud, mobile and modern application assets.

“In today’s modern IT environment, organizations need security that goes deeper, broader, provides more precise data, and is quicker in taking action against evolving and future suspected threats,” said Kerry Bailey, CEO, eSentire. “The Sumo Logic partnership combines the best-of-breed in MDR and cloud-based SIEM that provides us with broader visibility to accelerate detection for customers whose security may be compromised. Improved analytics, along with the depth of our intelligence capabilities will deliver mid to large size enterprises the optimized security they need against constantly advancing cyber threats.”

Sumo Logic and eSentire Partnership

Sumo Logic helps democratize security analytics across IT, breaking down legacy silos with new cloud models, including DevSecOps. The Sumo Logic cloud-native platform delivers native elastic scale for on-demand, high-volume security analytics capacity and deployment agility, enabling new horizontal, collaborative, and scalable insights and workflows across security, IT, and all lines of business.

The integration of Sumo Logic’s cloud-native solution, with eSentire’s pure-play MDR platform, provides full spectrum visibility across the organization, eliminating common blind spots all too often exploited by adversaries. eSentire expert security analysts leverage Sumo Logic’s ability to bring together log and metric data from on-premises and cloud assets. They then can quickly identify and contain suspicious activities on behalf of customers, disrupting threats before they become business impacting.

“Today’s digital organizations operate on a wide range of modern applications and infrastructures and cloud models, such as DevSecOps, accumulating and releasing massive amounts of data, that if managed incorrectly, can allow threats to slip through the cracks and cause business-critical crises,” said Steve Fitz, chief revenue officer, Sumo Logic. “We are thrilled to partner with eSentire to detect and investigate machine data for the rapidly evolving and expanding threat surfaces of cloud and hybrid environments, and respond in a timely, efficient, and effective manner to bolster their security postures.”

Key Functionality of esLOG+ within the eSentire Platform

Offering cloud-native next-generation security analytics technology embedded in eSentire’s MDR services, esLOG+ is up-and-running in a fraction of the time of a traditional SIEM to aggregate meaningful and actionable intelligence from an organization’s network assets, endpoints, applications, and cloud services. Providing full spectrum visibility across the entire attack surface, eSentire Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts leverage the power of big data analytics, machine learning, customized rule-sets, and behavioral analysis to make sense of expected and unexpected events and behaviors across the IT environment to identify potential threats.

Cross-Platform Monitoring and Visibility: Collects, aggregates, and monitors data across on-premises, cloud, multi-cloud, and hybrid platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and the Google Cloud Platform, providing 24x7x365 SOC analysts with full spectrum visibility to threats across the entire attack surface.

Embedded Threat Hunting and Forensic Investigation: Includes embedded threat hunting and forensic investigation of aggregated log data accelerating precision and speed that facilitates rapid response and threat containment.

Big Data Analytics: Leverages the power of big data and advanced analytics into end-user, application, and infrastructure element behaviors, to detect anomalies (deviations from the established baseline), and flag exceptions in real-time to identify real and potential threats.

Machine Learning Integration: Utilizes machine learning and predictive analytics to make sense of expected and unexpected behavior across the IT environment with pattern, anomaly, and outlier detection.

Co-Management: Provides a co-managed model with access to run advanced search queries, generate alerts, manage profiles, customize and run reports, and investigate events alongside eSentire SOC analysts.

Simplified Compliance Management Reporting: Ensures compliance mandates are tightly managed with centralized logging, continuous monitoring, and automated retention policies with various out of the box and custom security reports that provide audit data for regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, PCI, SEC, GDPR, etc.

Availability

The combined esLOG+ service will be available as of Oct. 1, 2018. For more information about esLOG+, visit: https://www.esentire.com/what-we-do/managed-detection-and-response/esLOG/.
