Alert Logic is the industry’s first SaaS-enabled managed detection and response (MDR) provider, delivering unrivaled security value. Since no level of investment prevents or blocks 100% of attacks, you need to continuously identify and address breaches or gaps before they cause real damage. With limited budget and expertise, this level of security can seem out of reach.


Our purpose-built technology and team of MDR security experts protect your organization and empower you to resolve whatever threats may come. Founded in 2002, Alert Logic is headquartered in Houston, Texas, with offices in Austin, Cardiff, London, and Cali, Colombia, and online at alertlogic.com.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools are now mainstream for most, yet they often do not offer the proper breadth and coverage needed to secure a modern IT environment. As a result, many continue to struggle to find skilled security talent to implement, manage, and utilize these tools. Now, a defense in depth approach that includes threat detection and response programs has become a foundational element of a comprehensive, modern security strategy.

The acceleration in the use of cloud-delivered applications and services together with a more advanced threat landscape is causing many to look for solutions beyond traditional EDR. While many are looking to managed detection and response (MDR) providers to close the gap, others are exploring extended detection and response (XDR) solutions to combat advanced attacks.

In this discussion-oriented webinar, ESG's leader for detection and response, Dave Gruber and Bharath Vasudevan, a longtime expert for Alert Logic's comprehensive Managed Detection and Response (MDR) platform, will explore threat detection and response programs, EDR, MDR, XDR solutions, and how they can work effectively together to strengthen your overall cybersecurity program.

Beyond EDR: Modernizing Your Threat Detection and Response Program

Detecting and responding to cyberattacks is a constantly evolving challenge. Learn how to make sense of the requirements and solutions to protect your business.


- Get a set of practical requirements to assess your needs for detection and response.
- Learn about the differences between XDR, EDR, and MDR.
- Get insight to the challenges of managing these platforms – making the managed vs non-managed decision.
- Get answers to your specific questions about threat detection and response.

A Guide to Threat Detection and Response: XDR, EDR, MDR and more

Web applications are the most frequently attacked assets in an IT environment. They present some of the greatest security challenges and are responsible for some of the biggest and most costly attacks. While prevention strategies focused on network firewalls and user access controls are important, they are not sufficient.

During this webinar, you’ll:

-Learn about the key capabilities needed to prevent, detect, and respond to 
   web application attacks
-Discover requirements to detect attacks at the endpoint, network, cloud, and 
   application layers
-Learn about the critical role a response strategy plays in minimizing the 
   impact of an attack

Closing the Gap: Comprehensive Threat Detection for Web Applications

Every year consists of constant change and 2020 is no exception.  There is the constant change in the threat landscape, change in IT environments, and change in the form of new technologies and vendors which leads to confusion and complexity.  The reality is no level of investment prevents or blocks 100% of attacks.  Therefore, organizations must continuously identify and address breaches before they cause real damage but they are typically hampered with either limited budget and/or expertise.

Join Antonio Sanchez from Alert Logic as he discusses Managed Detection and Response (MDR).  This new approach is gaining rapid traction for being able to achieve enterprise-class security while simplifying operations.  Topics discussed during this session include:

- Understanding MDR 
- Aligning to the NIST framework 
- Seven MDR Must-Have’s

The 7 Secrets of Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

When migrating to the cloud, the complexity and intricacies of doing a safe, secure and effective migration can make your head spin. How do you know what is the right migration approach for your organization? Join us as we take you through the best practices and key considerations of selecting a cloud migration strategy. 

This webinar will feature guest speaker Edward Merrett, Security Operations Manager of McArthurGlen. With a passion for cyber and security best practices, Edward will share his first-hand experience with cloud migration, including lessons learned and best practices to keep you one step ahead in your migration journey.  

In this webinar, we will:

- Highlight security considerations with migrating to the cloud in hybrid, complex environments
- Explore key migration strategies to consider from rehosting (“lift and shift”) to refactoring (“rearchitecting”)
- Dive deeper into “lift and shift” approach including what to expect and what to watch out for 
- Share best practices of cloud migration you should incorporate in your strategy

Rehosting to Refactoring: Selecting the right cloud migration strategy for your

Whether you are a software company or a business with revenue-driving applications, the journey to SaaS introduces a complex set of cybersecurity challenges.

Through this webinar:

Learn how to build security into SaaS application development.
Discover how your starting point impacts the security of your new delivery model.

Security Requirements for Designing SaaS Applications on AWS

Part 4 of 4

The cloud transformation journey is an on-going one of refinement and optimization.

Organizations with a cloud-first or cloud-mature approach will find a drive to business and operational scale brings about complexity and increasing responsibilities across hybrid, SaaS, and PaaS workloads.

This diversity of technologies and delivery models can significantly hamper efficiency and optimization gains as well as introduce security risks that can affect the bottom line.

During this webcast we'll discuss:

Proper preparation for the complexity of scale 
Maintaining security whilst accelerating growth
Real-world examples of how to refine your security operations

At the conclusion of the session, you'll walk away with understanding how maintaining security at the core of your cloud transformation will enable growth, scale and expansion of your business.

Part 3 of 4: 

The value of being in the cloud in the first place is clear; cost savings and efficiencies in key areas can be achieved quickly, if done right. But that is where the race for modernization with your competitors starts.

Digital and cloud transformation in a competitive market requires a velocity of change that inherently adds risk if the maturity of security processes and delivery is not able to match that velocity.

During this webcast, we'll explore how your business can fully leverage the cloud to drive modernization of applications and business models by also modernizing your security capabilities.

At the conclusion of the session, you'll walk away with some key steps you can take to enable modernization.

Part 2 of 4: 

The first step is always the hardest; migrating from traditional infrastructure to cloud is a transformation that presents significant opportunities for success or failure.

The cloud is an opportunity to improve security posture and processes significantly. Yet all too often security is an afterthought, secondary to application and infrastructure considerations, rather than considered an integral part.

During this webcast, we'll explore the strategic role security plays in your first step towards successful cloud transformation, and key considerations when building your cloud migration strategy. 

At the conclusion of the session, you'll walk away with confidence to take those first steps to the cloud so you can unlock the benefits on offer.

Cloud Transformation: Jumping the migration hurdle [Ep 2 of 4]

Cloud transformation is becoming mission critical for most organizations, to unlock new opportunities, thrive in the digital economy and stay ahead of the competition. Security is essential at each stage of the journey and if managed well, can enable you to unlock the full potential of the Cloud. However, if the importance of security is overlooked or misunderstood, it can create barriers to success and slow down or even derail your transformation journey.

This webcast kicks off a 4-part series where we dive into the critical role security plays in cloud transformation:

During this webinar we’ll address:
3 phases of cloud transformation – Migration, Modernization & Optimization
How the role of security and your responsibilities evolves at each phase
