Technology integration bolsters detection and response for comprehensive cloud coverage across any environment

HERNDON, Va.: Expel, the leading managed detection and response (MDR) provider, is excited to announce the availability of Cloud MDR services enriched by Wiz Defend. One of a select group of providers certified by Wiz, our offering combines the power of Wiz Defend Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) with Expel’s best-in-class MDR services. Expel leverages the power of Wiz Defend’s in-depth cloud detections to identify and protect against the most advanced cloud attacks, eliminate alert fatigue, and optimize the efficiency of security operations teams in cloud environments.

“Operating in complex or multi-cloud environments is increasingly the norm, but struggling to keep your infrastructure safe while you balance business-critical priorities doesn’t have to be,” said Yonni Shelmerdine, Chief Product Officer at Expel. “Expel’s deep-rooted detection and response expertise complements Wiz’s advanced cloud-native platform, simplifying and streamlining protection with unmatched speed and precision, so organizations can confidently focus on driving their businesses forward.”

The new solution from Wiz draws upon the power of Wiz Integration Network (WIN) partners to better detect and respond to cloud threats in real-time. Expel was selected as a launch partner due to its leading MDR capabilities, which seamlessly integrate with Wiz Defend to empower their analysts to detect and remediate cloud issues immediately.

The WIN platform enables bi-directional sharing of security findings across the cloud security ecosystem comprised of hundreds of industry-leading partners like Expel that help mutual customers detect and fix real-time threats. With the introduction of Wiz Defend, Wiz is now extending threat data to Expel to help analysts better prepare, investigate, detect, and respond to cloud incidents.

WIN enables mutual customers of Expel and Wiz to receive the following benefits:

• In-depth context for more precise security: This solution enriches security events with detailed context, allowing for precise correlation across tools and enhancing detection accuracy through actionable cloud threat intelligence.
• Streamlined multi-cloud protection: Joint customers can simplify their multi-cloud infrastructure security across complex cloud environments, with comprehensive coverage spanning containers and Kubernetes security, cloud detection and response, CNAPP, and cloud-workload protection platforms (CWPP).
• Faster, more accurate detection and response capabilities: Wiz and Expel combine to deliver real-time event correlation and enrichment, providing deep context and improving detection accuracy across the widest range of cloud environments.

The combined value of these two offerings will streamline security for organizations seeking to eliminate blind spots and telemetry gaps to improve cloud incident response readiness, multi-cloud threat detection, investigation, and threat hunting.

“WIN partners are key to the success of Wiz Defend,” said Oron Noah, VP Product Extensibility & Partnerships, Wiz. “Customers want agility, choice, and to work with the best of the best–thanks to WIN, they get it in one place while also reinventing threat detection in the cloud. All of us at Wiz are immeasurably grateful for the amazing work of these partners as they tackle real security challenges and innovate at scale.”
