Context & challenges

Our primary challenge lies in efficiently interconnecting tools and processes to provide optimal protection to our clients. We require a large catalog of integrations to minimize integration efforts and focus on delivering value to our clients.

Another significant challenge is maximizing the return on our investment in Threat Intelligence (CTI). How can we provide real added value to our clients while managing our costs effectively?

In addition, volume-based log billing offered by some vendors is problematic, especially for less mature customers who are unable to estimate their volume (EPS). This complicates budget management and can become a barrier to the adoption of robust security solutions.

‍

Why Sekoia?

We chose the Sekoia SOC platform for several reasons. Firstly, the diversity of technologies integrated by Sekoia enables us to reduce our interconnection and integration efforts, which is a significant advantage for an MSSP.

In addition, the solution offers price predictability thanks to billing based on the number of assets rather than the volume of logs, making it easier for our customers to manage costs.

Finally, the native integration of CTI in Sekoia enables us to benefit from advanced threat detection, which has already proved its value on several occasions for our customers.

The Sekoia SOC platform stands out for its ability to meet the following specific challenges:

• Ready-to-use integration catalog: We can quickly integrate multiple data sources and demonstrate the value of our offering from the Proof of Concept (POC) stage.
• Native CTI integration: Detection rules incorporating CTI enable us to detect weak signals and anticipate threats proactively.
• Transparent asset-based billing model: This predictable model is a true differentiator, especially for attracting new, less mature clients.
• Hybrid MDR approach:The balance between standardization and customization perfectly meets our expectations (80% shared services, 20% bespoke).
• Trusted SIEM approach: We systematically propose Sekoia to governmental clients. Having this European SIEM solution is a major asset to offer trusted services.
