Expel

“Expel frees up all that time we spent monitoring alerts. Now we can actually work on improving our responses and focus on high-fidelity alerts.”

““We can now continue to push the envelope forward and build out a great security program, while still introducing new security technologies to the environment along the way,””

““Expel has helped us architect a security infrastructure that collects the right alerts and data to ensure full visibility across our vast attack surface,””

““Expel gives us the force multiplier security capability we needed,””

““When we got started with Expel, we asked which settings to turn on or tune, and if we should be collecting different data streams,” the CISO says. “It’s very important to our security posture to have this advice — you can’t attach a dollar amount to that guidance.””

“There’s real value to the investment Expel makes in research and the intelligence they have on different tools, environments and the success rates of different types of exploits.”

“The best part about our conversation with Expel was that they showed us exactly what they were monitoring today from a cloud security standpoint, and what they could get up and running immediately.”

“Expel showed interest in providing a great product and were invested in getting to know us, as a team. They shared our philosophy for security operations, and demonstrated an understanding of our overarching goals. We loved how Expel took the time to get to know our environment and understand our pain points. The team knew exactly where they could help uplevel our detection and response capabilities.”

“"The biggest bang for our buck, the biggest return on our value, the biggest benefit to our security program would be getting a strong MDR partner."”

“We’ve been so happy with the service, in fact, a different division of our company recently dropped their MSSP and started working with Expel.”

“This was a great opportunity for us to show that our controls and tools actually work,”

“As we were onboarding the new tech to Expel Workbench, the Expel analysts wrote rules and placed them into our production system, which helped us get certain signatures that we didn’t even know we should have in our production system,”

“By the second or third meeting with the Expel team, I realized that I wasn’t having to do any tuning work because they were doing it for me. This gave me the opportunity to focus on more of the actual security work I need to do. That was a huge win for our team.”

“We consider Expel to be one of our true partners. We’ve had nothing but very, very positive experiences.”

“The system we set up has really performed well at shaking out the unknowns,” says the security leader, “like looking at how previous users of our systems might be misusing access. Security people are infamously skeptical. I’m suspicious of products that claim to provide only the information we need to know. I’m always wondering if they’re missing something. But Expel earned my trust pretty quickly.”

“We saved a lot of time and frustration as well as configuration confusion,” the VP says. “Not only were there significant monetary savings, but also significant opportunity cost savings from our decision to work with Expel.”

“This was the kind of thing that I suspected might happen in our environment—and Expel’s proactive alerting saved us from a much more serious incident. We were able to rapidly revoke the unauthorized user accounts,”

“I liked the company story,” says the security VP. “The leadership wanted to disrupt the state of the market and they had clear ideas on how to create transparency in their investigations.”

“I needed more headcount, but I also needed some kind of force multiplier that could be deployed relatively quickly,” the VP says. “Even given budget for headcount, the hiring wasn’t going to happen fast, and building an in-house team with 24x7x365 coverage wasn’t likely. So managed services naturally started to stand out—with innovative partners behind the solutions.”

“Just getting the information isn’t enough. Relevance is paramount. Security alerts need to be accurate, useful, and include enough context to help us make good decisions quickly. With Expel I can focus on what’s important, and use the time saved on other high-value projects.”

“Expel functions as a true extension of our security team, providing comprehensive support rather than just being another service provider.”

“We received exactly the level of detail required in the right format. It's about shaping the service exactly the way we need it.”

“Expel’s easy onboarding process has measurably accelerated our ability to bring new companies up to our security baseline. We onboarded the majority of our systems within a couple of weeks, which helps us realize acquisition value faster.”

“We needed a security partner who understood both traditional endpoint security and the complexities of cloud environments. Expel grasped our challenges with SaaS and cloud from day one, even around cutting-edge technologies like containers, Docker, and Kubernetes that weren't widely used when we started this journey.”

““Today, our engineers manage 50 percent fewer investigations than they previously handled, allowing them to focus on higher-value work,””
