About
eSentire delivers Next Level Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services built on over 20 years of cybersecurity expertise and powered by the proprietary Atlas Security Operations Platform. Atlas combines task-specific AI agents, Open XDR (Extended Detection and Response), and machine learning to investigate threats at machine speed while maintaining full transparency and expert validation. The platform covers a broad attack surface—endpoints, networks, cloud environments, identity systems, and log data—offering unified, real-time threat visibility and automated blocking balanced with rapid human-led investigations. At the core of eSentire's offering is its 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC), which provides unlimited threat hunting and incident handling. The Threat Response Unit (TRU) delivers proactive threat intelligence and original research, while the Cyber Resilience Team helps organizations extend their internal capabilities. Additional services include Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) with a threat suppression guarantee, and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) for identifying and closing security gaps proactively. eSentire's MDR packages (Atlas Essentials, Advanced, and Complete) are flexible and scalable, making them suitable for mid-market companies and large enterprises alike. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing security tools and supports compliance mandates, ransomware prevention, zero-day exploit detection, third-party risk management, and cyber insurance requirements. It is purpose-built for organizations that need enterprise-level protection without building a full in-house security operations team.
