CriticalStart Alternative – Managed Detection Response

What is an alternative to CriticalStart? Looking for a CriticalStart competitor?

CriticalStart is a big name in cybersecurity and is often considered to be a top managed security service provider (MSSP), but it also demands a high price. The firm has been getting overall positive reviews for their Managed Detection and Response, and professional services. While still less expensive than building your own SOC, hiring larger security firms like CriticalStart will not always be the best choice to meet your security needs as a small to mid sized company. Smaller firms can potentially offer even better service while utilizing comparable technology, giving you significantly more value. Clearnetwork is the CriticalStart alternative you are looking for!

Clearnetwork has been focused on maximizing security efficiency for over 20 years. We maximize value by deploying an industry leading technology suite that puts all necessary security tools (such as SIEM, behavioral analysis, vulnerability management) under a single pane of glass all monitored and managed by our US based SOC. People we speak with often find that we can meet their security needs for a significantly lower cost than CriticalStart or another large firm. Our features include:

SIEM/Log Management
Advanced Threat Intelligence
Asset Discovery
Vulnerability Assessment
Intrusion Detection & Prevention
Endpoint Detection & Response
Behavioral Analysis
Auto-containment
Skilled Threat Hunting
Fast and comprehensive Response

All of this is managed by our team of cybersecurity professionals. We act as an extension of your IT team, continuously monitoring your network for threats. Utilizing the best threat intelligence, and skilled threat hunting, we pride ourselves on our rapid detection, response times and personalized customer service.

Additionally, we create custom reports to help you with NIST, GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS, HI-TRUST and many more. We can even create reports for non-technical leaders to demonstrate value. These detailed reports can save you a significant amount of time.

Clearnetwork Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is the ideal choice for small to mid-size organizations looking to save time, money, improve their security posture and meet compliance. If you’re currently using CriticalStart or another service and feel you are not getting the value you expected or if you are evaluating other options, reach out to Clearnetwork to see why we are the CriticalStart competitor you desire!
