Our take
With increased digital transformation and cloud adoption, businesses have ever-more complex systems to protect, making it harder to ensure everything remains cybersecure. Deepwatch supplies Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions, combining its technology and expertise to optimize protections for its clients, mitigate risk, and improve security outcomes.
Grasping the need for greater security for digital platforms, applications, and data, Deepwatch has built a cloud SecOps platform, upon which its services run. Its managed services are tailored to the requirements of each individual client, and involve a team of security experts collaborating with the business to gain an in-depth knowledge of their security requirements and specific areas of risk to target.
Competition for Deepwatch comes from companies such as Paladion, Crypsis, and ExtraHop. However, the demand for managed cybersecurity solutions is growing and - given there is a general cybersecurity skills shortage - security management companies like Deepwatch are becoming increasingly necessary. Funding raised by the company will allow it to grow to meet this demand, by accelerating innovation and development, and expanding its partner ecosystem.
