“I would say that prior to the relationship with Critical Start, my SOC analysts were experiencing what we all call alert fatigue. Critical Start has really been able to reduce those alerts. Our SOC analysts are able to get through every alert they toss our way. I've been able to take our level three and level four analysts and put them back to work at what they were really hired to do.”
Scott Funk, Head of Security Operations

“I find the Critical Start SOC analysts to be very knowledgeable. We rarely get things escalated to us that I feel they should have dealt with. It's been a very good relationship. Not having an event is not making the newspaper in that negative fashion is very, very important to us. That's part of the big value.”
Brad Hollingsworth, Director of Cyber Security

“Our previous Manage Detection and Response vendor didn't do anything. They didn't notify us and it was a big gap. Critical Start, is a complete opposite. What I see, I see stuff going in and I see it coming out; and I see it in a beautiful format.”
