High Wire Networks Inc. announces its Overwatch Managed Security Services division now delivers customized remediation at scale for managed service provider (MSP) reseller partners and their business clients with the addition of Overwatch SOAR, a security orchestration, automation and response solution.
SOAR adds another layer of cyber defense to High Wire’s all-in-one Overwatch Managed Security Services. It adds the ability to reach into client IT environments and stop active cyber threats in progress, reduce mean time to repair/remediate (MTTR) and minimize the impact of cyberattacks.
High Wire’s investment in SOAR integrations adds security automation, incident response, threat hunting and SOC optimization to the company’s flagship Overwatch 24/7 solution.
Overwatch 24/7 combines an around-the-clock Security Operations Center (SOC) with open Extended Detection and Response (XDR) technology and managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to effectively cut through the noise and drill down on real threats.
“Our significant investment in SOAR technology represents a massive leap forward in our Overwatch managed security roadmap and a continuation of our relentless pursuit to drive tremendous value for our partners,” said High Wire Networks Chief Technology Officer David Barton. “The result is that the Overwatch security team can run multiple remediation processes simultaneously. What would take humans minutes can be done in seconds and thousands of times all at once, resulting in greater protection for our MSP partners and their customers.”
Overwatch SOAR:
- Infuses orchestration and automation into Overwatch partners’ security infrastructure
- Enriches incidents with threat intelligence and incident knowledge in real-time, eliminating 90 percent of the time wasted on false positives
- Automates repetitive processes by using a library of playbooks and utility actions, or building workflows with ease
“Adding SOAR enhances our 24/7 managed security platform by automating alert-handling, aggregating data from our clients’ environments and enabling higher tier services with full incident remediation and threat hunting,” said Barton.
Overwatch SOAR helps MSPs and MSSPs go beyond Tier 1 task management by consolidating data from across clients’ security stacks and providing the advanced investigative capabilities needed to resolve threats, not only respond to alerts.
In keeping with High Wire’s vendor-agnostic model for technology and service delivery, Overwatch SOAR eliminates the risk of vendor lock-in with a fully vendor-agnostic security operations solution.
Additional benefits of Overwatch SOAR include:
- Operationalizing the MITRE ATT&CK threat model currently used by Overwatch 24/7
- Generating valuable SOC metrics and keeping analysts focused on real threats
- Proactively searching across the stack for risky indicators of compromise (IoCs) or tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) of threat actors
- Closing the loop by triggering an automated response
