To prevent these attacks, the industry needs to adopt a new approach by focusing on security operations.
Arctic Wolf enables security teams to effectively detect, prioritize, investigate, and respond to security alerts with 24/7 managed detection and response. In addition to its threat response technology, Arctic Wolf security operations solutions include ongoing risk management, security awareness training, and cyber incident response services that provide customers with readily available guidance to help them improve their overall security posture.
