Arctic Wolf, eSentire, and standalone MDR providers cover 3 of 20 security categories. That's 15% of your security program. Cyvatar covers the other 85% — or delivers all 20 in one service.
Traditional MSSPs and MDR providers — Arctic Wolf, eSentire, Secureworks, standalone Red Canary — specialize in detection and response. They watch screens, detect threats, and send you alerts. That's what they do, and they may do it well.
But detection is 3 of 20 security categories. The other 17 categories — vulnerability remediation, compliance mapping, policy generation, daily patching, security strategy — are not included. Your MSSP finds the fire. Nobody is fireproofing the building.
Each one is a gap where breaches happen. Your MSSP sends an alert. Nobody closes the gap.
Your MSSP finds vulnerabilities. Cyvatar fixes them — 274K+ remediated, 1.1M+ patches applied.
132+ new CVEs per day. If nobody patches daily, vulnerabilities accumulate. Your MSSP doesn't patch.
SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, ISO 27001 — 24 frameworks. Your MSSP maps zero.
35 auto-generated policy templates. Your MSSP doesn't generate or maintain policies.
98/102 controls covered with a prioritized roadmap. Your MSSP provides no gap analysis.
AI-powered security strategy that adapts as threats evolve. Your MSSP advises — but doesn't execute.
Advanced threat protection, phishing defense, DMARC/DKIM/SPF. Not included in MDR.
Block malicious domains before they reach users. Not in your MSSP contract.
Misconfigured cloud storage, open S3 buckets, drifted settings. Your MSSP doesn't manage this.
MFA enforcement, least privilege, conditional access. 22% of breaches are stolen credentials.
Prevent sensitive data from leaving your environment. Not an MDR function.
When ransomware hits, backups are the last line. Your MSSP doesn't manage them.
Credential exposure alerts before attackers use stolen passwords. Not included in MDR.
68% of breaches involve a human element. Your MSSP doesn't train your people.
Secure phones, tablets, and remote devices. Outside MSSP scope.
Protect public-facing apps from injection, XSS, and API attacks. Not an MDR service.
A prioritized, board-ready plan to close gaps. Your MSSP sends tickets, not strategy.
Keep your MDR and add the missing 85%, or consolidate everything under one roof.
Keep Arctic Wolf, eSentire, or your current MDR for detection and response. Cyvatar fills the other 17 categories — patching, compliance, policies, strategy, and remediation. Your MSSP detects. Cyvatar prevents and proves.
See Your GapsCyvatar includes MDR via Red Canary — the same best-of-breed detection and response — plus all 17 categories your current MSSP doesn't cover. One vendor, one contract, one bill. No redundancy. No gaps.
