Ultimately, when it comes to your critical infrastructure, what you want from a partner is peace of mind as-a service. This is precisely what Exponential-e delivers.

Software defined for the home

With home working now the new norm, application performance is an increasing concern,
with multiple devices competing for bandwidth as they remotely connect to the corporate network.
Furthermore, the range of threats to network security is much larger, due to numerous unsecured IoT devices connecting to the home router.

SD-HOME - Exponential-e’s Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solution for home working - maximizes quality of service (QoS) for critical business applications by utilizing SD-WAN technology for bandwidth prioritization, supported by a robust cyber security network.

Q. What makes Exponential-e’s SIEM different?

Exponential-e’s CSOC provides superior monitoring. Unlike most SIEMs, they monitor both “North to South” traffic that travels between your corporate network and the Internet, and the “East to West” traffic that travels “interzone” between servers within your datacentre.

And, by working closely with Exponential-e’s Managed Security Services teams, their SIEM can also be used by their CSOC to provide you with superior, agile threat response, resolving any issues as soon as they are detected.

Service capabilities

• Exponential-e’s threat Intelligence service will actively monitor customer domains for any mentions on dark web forums and look for existing typo squatting domains that are deliberately created to lure unsuspecting users who misspell domains
• Exponential-e’s platform is built for enterprises large and small; they have the resources and capabilities to consume data from all over the world and provide the customer with the intel to help protect their brand
• The primary purpose of this type of security is to keep organisations informed of the risks of advanced persistent threats, zero-day threats and exploits, and how to protect against them
• This will ensure the customer can stay up to date with the overwhelming volume of threats, including methods, vulnerabilities, targets and bad actors
• It helps the business become more proactive about future cybersecurity threats
• Vulnerability and extended manual testing will explicitly identify where security holes lie and remove false positives. When applicable, other methods will be utilized
