Assura, Stellar Cyber announce partnership, benefits to Assura’s security operations portfolio

Stellar Cyber announced its partnership with Assura, Inc., a cybersecurity firm that provides risk management and compliance services as well as offensive and defensive cybersecurity, managed and project-based services.

Founded 17 years ago, Assura recognized the importance of cybersecurity and the need to deliver cutting edge solutions. Now, its partnership with Stellar Cyber represents its first adoption of a natively AI-driven solution for its Managed SIEM and XDR services. Assura is able to expand its service offerings to customers without the burden of additional cost, and Stellar Cyber gains a partner with deep experience in defensive operations.

After launching its Security Operations Center in 2017, Assura began with a managed SIEM product and service offering. However, after talking with a representative of Stellar Cyber, Assura quickly realized the value of transitioning to a platform that allowed them to reduce time to detection, improve remediation guidance, and gain significant operational and delivery efficiencies.

“In a bake off between multiple competing platforms, Stellar Cyber’s AI-driven Open XDR platform could detect breaches way quicker than the competing platforms,” said Assura CTO and Co-Founder Joshua Cole. “Yes, we would have found those breaches eventually, but the time to detect was orders of magnitude lower with Stellar Cyber.”

The information Assura gets from the platform allows them to receive complete guidance on actions and remediations, resulting in more insight to analysts so they can better advise their clients.

Assura is looking forward to exploring the options now available to them with the help of Stellar Cyber’s AI-driven Open XDR platform. They can better evaluate the services they provide and the method of delivery, and with their new capacity, they can reevaluate previous options that simply would not have been viable previously.
