eSentire MDR VS Arctic Wolf MDR

Arctic Wolf MDR lacks the capability to monitor your entire attack surface. Arctic Wolf MDR services are known to fall short against identity and network-based threats and only offer limited protection for endpoint and cloud-based threats. These gaps in coverage leave critical aspects of your business vulnerable and exposed to potential security risks.

At eSentire, we believe a multi-signal approach is paramount to protecting your complete attack surface. We ingest high-fidelity data sources from endpoint, network, log, cloud, identity, and vulnerability data that enables complete attack surface visibility.

eSentire owns the R in MDR by disrupting, isolating, and stopping threats on your behalf across your full attack surface with a Mean Time to Contain of less than 15 minutes. We detect in seconds and contain in minutes, so your business is never disrupted.

Arctic Wolf MDR has limited automated response capabilities with their open-source endpoint agent. The recent ransomware attack on Tempur Sealy, an organization that had engaged Arctic Wolf’s endpoint solution, serves as a critical reminder of the importance of thoroughly evaluating an MDR provider’s tools and capabilities.

eSentire partners with leading endpoint technology providers, including our own eSentire Agent, CrowdStrike, Microsoft and SentinelOne to ensure you have the best endpoint protection for your business.

Arctic Wolf does not allow for seamless integration and threat investigation across your existing tech stack with only 34 supported technologies.

Whereas eSentire offers complete support of your tech investments with over 300 supported integrations. This allows our MDR service to integrate seamlessly with the existing tools and SaaS platforms in your environment for continuous monitoring across your attack surface. We are continuously expanding our multi-signal ingestion capabilities by adding new detections and runbooks for SaaS platforms and enterprise applications.

Arctic Wolf Labs, launched in March 2022, primarily focuses on collecting threat intelligence and publishing security advisories. Unlike eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU), they do not systematically operationalize this intelligence into actionable novel detections like runbooks and detection models or provide intelligence-driven threat hunting support.

eSentire’s Threat Response Unit is a world-class team of seasoned industry veterans committed to helping your organization become more resilient. eSentire TRU operationalizes threat intelligence to perform proactive threat hunts and update runbooks, detection rules and machine learning models.
