Expel

“This was a great opportunity for us to show that our controls and tools actually work,”

“As we were onboarding the new tech to Expel Workbench, the Expel analysts wrote rules and placed them into our production system, which helped us get certain signatures that we didn’t even know we should have in our production system,”

“By the second or third meeting with the Expel team, I realized that I wasn’t having to do any tuning work because they were doing it for me. This gave me the opportunity to focus on more of the actual security work I need to do. That was a huge win for our team.”

“We consider Expel to be one of our true partners. We’ve had nothing but very, very positive experiences.”

“The system we set up has really performed well at shaking out the unknowns,” says the security leader, “like looking at how previous users of our systems might be misusing access. Security people are infamously skeptical. I’m suspicious of products that claim to provide only the information we need to know. I’m always wondering if they’re missing something. But Expel earned my trust pretty quickly.”

“We saved a lot of time and frustration as well as configuration confusion,” the VP says. “Not only were there significant monetary savings, but also significant opportunity cost savings from our decision to work with Expel.”

“This was the kind of thing that I suspected might happen in our environment—and Expel’s proactive alerting saved us from a much more serious incident. We were able to rapidly revoke the unauthorized user accounts,”

“I liked the company story,” says the security VP. “The leadership wanted to disrupt the state of the market and they had clear ideas on how to create transparency in their investigations.”

“I needed more headcount, but I also needed some kind of force multiplier that could be deployed relatively quickly,” the VP says. “Even given budget for headcount, the hiring wasn’t going to happen fast, and building an in-house team with 24x7x365 coverage wasn’t likely. So managed services naturally started to stand out—with innovative partners behind the solutions.”

“Just getting the information isn’t enough. Relevance is paramount. Security alerts need to be accurate, useful, and include enough context to help us make good decisions quickly. With Expel I can focus on what’s important, and use the time saved on other high-value projects.”

“Expel functions as a true extension of our security team, providing comprehensive support rather than just being another service provider.”

“We received exactly the level of detail required in the right format. It's about shaping the service exactly the way we need it.”

“Expel’s easy onboarding process has measurably accelerated our ability to bring new companies up to our security baseline. We onboarded the majority of our systems within a couple of weeks, which helps us realize acquisition value faster.”

“We needed a security partner who understood both traditional endpoint security and the complexities of cloud environments. Expel grasped our challenges with SaaS and cloud from day one, even around cutting-edge technologies like containers, Docker, and Kubernetes that weren't widely used when we started this journey.”

““Today, our engineers manage 50 percent fewer investigations than they previously handled, allowing them to focus on higher-value work,””

““Without Expel, we would have needed to hire at least two to three times our current security engineering team to achieve this centralization,””

“Without Expel, we would have needed to hire at least two or three times our current security engineering team to achieve this centralization.””

“Our engineers manage 50 percent fewer investigations than they previously handled, allowing them to focus on higher-value work.””

“Expel has become that extension of our team, making my team’s job easier. They can pull details on investigations and alerts to help us better respond when regulators and executives come calling.”

““Expel consistently provides my analysts with the context they need about alerts and investigations. They explain what happened, why they made each decision, how they’re remediating something and how we can prevent it in the future. We not only get to ‘done’ faster thanks to their proactive and collaborative approach, but it also strengthens our confidence in the Expel team.””

““There are hundreds of investigations and each one takes our team at least an hour—Expel’s automations are [crunching] all of that for us so their mean time from alert to remediation is a matter of minutes. They get the signal-to-noise ratio just right, and filter out the false positives so that my team isn’t spending valuable time on something that’s not a concern.””

““It’s all about finding the needle in the haystack, which is incredibly time consuming without the right resources. Expel built a platform that ingests alerts across our vast network, evaluates, and weeds out millions of false positives, and then automates the investigative steps so Expel analysts can recommend the right next actions to our team. In today’s threat landscape, with ransomware in particular, reaction time from alert to remediation needs to be measured in minutes. That’s what Expel has done for us; their approach just makes sense.””

““Expel helped us optimize our security signal, which saved us about $150,000 a year. Now we’re using that money to accelerate several other strategic security initiatives,” the security leader said.”

“What’s the hesitation? There’s no reason not to go with Expel. The product speaks for itself. It’s an easy decision. If you love getting accurate intel, actionable recommendations, and metrics that tell a great story, you can’t go wrong with Expel. Your CISO will thank you later.”

“It boils down to the fact that our employees know that when they submit an email for investigation, it’s done quickly, they’re updated and aren’t left to wonder if something is safe or malicious,” he says. “We get peace of mind, our employees get it, too, and everyone wins.”
