MDR and SASE Offerings
Open Systems’ cloud-native MDR service monitors enterprise IT environments across the entire cyber kill chain for the early detection and containment of cyberthreats, eliminating the need for enterprises to build and staff their own security operations centers (SOCs). This managed service utilizes the Microsoft Azure Sentinel SIEM and is available on the Azure Marketplace and the MISA Partner catalog. The service uniquely combines continuous 24×7 monitoring; AI automation; and ‘white glove’ support from Open Systems’ staff of trained security and networking experts, who have more than 500 years of combined experience.
Complementing its MDR service is the company’s secure access service edge (SASE) managed service, which secures all enterprise edges, including endpoints, sites, physical and cloud data centers and mobile users. Its single-pass architecture for secure web gateway (SWG), SD-WAN, firewall, network detection and response (NDR) and unified threat detection ensures line-rate speeds due to no service chaining and improves security through integrated policy management and a software-defined perimeter.
Open Systems’ MDR and SASE services employ the same proven platform as the company’s managed SD-WAN service, which has been deployed approximately 10,000 times by major enterprises and non-profit organizations in 184 countries.
