Question 1

How is Cyvatar different from an MSSP?

Accepted Answer

Traditional MSSPs monitor your environment and send alerts but do not remediate vulnerabilities or manage your security program. Cyvatar covers 20 security categories, patches vulnerabilities daily (1.1M+ applied), maps compliance across 24 frameworks, generates 54 security policies, and provides an AI-powered vCISO. MSSPs detect and alert. Cyvatar detects, fixes, and proves.

Question 2

What is the difference between MDR and managed cybersecurity?

Accepted Answer

MDR (Managed Detection and Response) focuses on monitoring endpoints and responding to threats — typically 3-4 security categories. Managed cybersecurity from Cyvatar covers 20 categories including vulnerability management, patching, compliance mapping, policy generation, email security, DNS filtering, cloud security, and executive-level security strategy via an Agentic vCISO.

Question 3

How does Cyvatar compare to Arctic Wolf?

Accepted Answer

Arctic Wolf covers 3-4 security categories (MDR, managed risk, awareness). Cyvatar covers 20 categories. Arctic Wolf detects and alerts but does not remediate — Cyvatar has applied 1.1M+ patches and remediated 274K+ vulnerabilities. Cyvatar also provides compliance mapping across 24 frameworks, 54 security policy templates, and an AI-powered vCISO — none of which Arctic Wolf offers.

Question 4

Can Cyvatar work alongside my existing IT company?
