Over the past few years, weve seen numerous
cyber threats, breaches and attacks impacting
industries of all types Financial Services,
Manufacturing, Retail, Energy and Utilities,
Healthcare, Automobile, Aviation and many more.
With rampant digital transformation of business
artifacts, along with integration across various
entities (partners, suppliers, customers,
contractors), attack surface area has opened up
increasingly. Secondary focus on IT Security has
often fallen short of slated objectives. From a
manageability standpoint, the problem has been
fuelled by 1.) Shortage of Security Analysts
2.) Lack of defence in-depth cybersecurity
solution 3.) Abundance of noisy alerts Also,
the mounting cost of additive components
IDS/IPS, SIEM, SOAR, Threat Intelligence, UEBA,
EDR, Vulnerability Management and Network-based
Detection have kept CISOs and CIOs under
tremendous budgetary pressure. Combining all
these factors, it is no surprise that MSSPs are
leveraging Seceons Advanced SIEM (aiSIEM) and
XDR (aiXDR) products to deliver all-in-one
solution at an affordable cost with low-touch
manageability and threat detection accuracy
through Managed SOC, SOC-as-a-Service and MDR
(Managed Detection and Response).
Market Expansion requires Uniformity, Scale and
Affordability
Considering the proliferation of internet with
tons of information, infomercials, infotainment,
e-commerce, messaging, streaming videos and all
other things (IOT) penetrating urban, semi-urban
and rural societies globally, we unanimously
realize the phenomenal power of uniformity, scale
and affordability within geographic regulations
and policies. Along the same lines, preserving
safety and security of all the digital assets
requires similar consideration. With the MSSP
market expected to grow from 30.6B in 2020 to
46.6B in 2025 (Source MarketandMarkets Global
Forecast), expanding the customer base from
Small-Medium Businesses to Medium and Large
Enterprises, would increase the likelihood of
MSSPs growth through the coming years of
opportunity.
1.) Uniformity Matters Managed Security
solution should offer comprehensive capabilities
to organization of all sizes as the nature and
severity of threats (Ransomware, Malware,
Brute-Force Attacks etc) impacting SMBs and
Enterprises are quite similar. 2.) Scale
Matters MSSP SOC should be able to scale with a
delivery platform (cloud or on-prem) that
processes threat indicators from a handful of
devices and applications to hundreds and
thousands, without any hit on performance and
analytics. 3.) Affordability Matters Despite
budgetary constraints, the cost of solution and
service should be well within reach of SMBs as it
linearly increases with the number of devices,
endpoints and users.

MSSPs across the regions have compared Seceons
aiSIEM and aiXDR solutions against well known
SIEM and XDR products. Quite clearly, Seceon
solutions have stood out in comprehensive
functional uniformity across customers segments,
offering everyone access to Threat Intelligence,
UEBA, EDR, IDS/IPS, Network Behavior Anomaly
Detection (NBAD) and SOAR. Also, bundled
seamlessly into the same User Interface (Web
Portal with Dashboards, Reports, Provisioning
Features and Admin Capabilities) are
quintessential artifacts and tools for Threat
Hunting (Seceon Deep Tracker), MITRE ATTCK TTP
Analysis, Playbook based Remediation, Continuous
Compliance Reporting and IT Policy Controls
(Network Segmentation, Database Activity
Monitoring, Trusted/Untrusted Lists etc).
Unlimited scalability is another attribute of
aiSIEM and aiXDR solutions that MSSP can leverage
to scale from 1000 EPS to upwards of 20,000 EPS,
10 endpoints to 10,000 endpoints, a few servers
to thousands, across regions, branch offices and
multi-cloud environments. By design, data
aggregation model, processing speed and analytics
engine makes scalability easy yet robust.
Seceons solutions meet the sweet spot of price
versus value derived. Considering the full set of
functionalities noted above, and the relevancy in
advanced threat detection, a linear pricing model
was lacking in the market. Hence the
affordability conundrum gets simplified, making
it an equitable option for SMBs and Enterprises
trying to secure digital assets.
