Trustwave has been named a Representative Vendor in Gartner just released the 2024 Market Guide for Co-Managed Security Monitoring Services. Gartner estimates that there are more than 500 vendors who offer co-managed security monitoring services. Trustwave was listed as a Representative Vendor that does not imply an exhaustive list.

Previously, Trustwave has been recognized as a Representative Vendor for  two 2023 Market Guide reports for Managed Detection and Response Services (MDR), and Digital Forensics and Incident Response Retainer Services (DFIR).

The Gartner report noted that threat detection, investigation, and response products are challenging to deploy, maintain and operate. Co-managed security monitoring services aid security and risk management leaders in the operation, configuration and maintenance of these products with a lower SOC staffing overhead..

The report, issued in March, contains updated Gartner expert insights on the co-managed security monitoring services market and contains recommendations for buyers interested in these solutions.  

According to Gartner the must-have capabilities for this market include –specialist and consultative experience in the provisioning, initial configuration, and customization of threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) capable products. Such products include endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), and security information and event management (SIEM). 

Gartner defines co-managed security monitoring as services that provide remote maintenance and monitoring of client-owned threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) capable products. These outside services, such as EDR, SIEM and XDR, ensure the availability and performance of the system and assist with and provide professional services consultancy in a wide range of functions. Examples include creating use cases, detecting engineering, configuring APIs, data normalization, and reporting content.

Trustwave’s well-respected product portfolio contains security monitoring services. In additional to Trustwave’s well-respected managed detection and response solution, the company has an industry leading co-managed security operations center (SIEM) offering, digital forensics & incident response

Trustwave’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is an industry-leading rapid threat detection and response service. Trustwave experts identify, investigate, and eliminate cyber threats, mitigating risk to clients. Trustwave leverages existing security tools and infrastructure to maximize returns and help clients realize the full power of their investments.

Trustwave’s Co-Managed SOC helps organizations modernize their security operations and defend against cyber threats with 24x7 real-time threat monitoring, thorough investigation, and actionable incident response actions. The Cyber Success Team helps clients create and tune tailored use cases continuously, resulting in up to 90 percent reduction in alert fatigue by security staff and increased efficiency of the security operations team.

Trustwave’s Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) retainer services allow clients to determine the source, cause, and extent of a security breach quickly, and to better prepare for the inevitable incident.

Gartner noted that buyers often investe in TDIR-capable products without fully staffing level its daily operations and maintenance. So, using a co-managed security monitoring service enables them to derive more value from complex areas such as architecture, maintenance, and content development while retaining ownership and access to technology investments.
