Vectra Launches New Advisory And Operational Cybersecurity Services

Vectra®, a leader in network threat detection and response (NDR) announced a range of new advisory and operational cybersecurity services that enable enterprises to increase security operations efficiency and significantly reduce the risk of data breaches.

Improving incident responses

Organizations that deploy the flagship Cognito® NDR platform from Vectra will be able to dramatically improve their incident response performance by leveraging years of professional cybersecurity expertise in AI and security operations across hundreds of global organizations.

Since the inception of Vectra, AI has been at the core of its expertise in building, deploying, and supporting the functionality and advantages of NDR for the global enterprise.

Operational and advisory services

The company’s new advisory and operational services provide organizations with 24/7 access to Vectra consultants 

“Utilising AI to address the current skills and resources gap is still a relatively new practice and much of the world is shifting operations to the cloud,” said Jennifer Wang, vice president of customer success at Vectra. “We bring an experienced lens during this transformation that enables customers to understand and address the full scope of risks across the new threat landscape.”

The company’s new advisory and operational services provide organizations with 24/7 access to Vectra consultants and analysts with over 100 years of combined cybersecurity expertise, ultimately strengthening how NDR enables enterprises to conduct their business more securely.

• Accelerated time-to-value of NDR projects by speeding up deployment, integration, and analyst enablement while reducing risk.

Customer-first culture

Vectra will expand its ability to aid customers with security preparations, compliance testing, and IR actions
