Expel

Whenever I take the opportunity to look back at what this company has accomplished, I'm always amazed. The great thing is, we're just getting started.

Most companies are unable to staff and retain internal security operations teams — in fact, there's a global talent shortage of 3+ million security professionals. Expel’s growth stems from its ability to fill this gap.

Expel is a managed detection and response (MDR) provider that gives customers 24x7 coverage for everything from cloud applications and infrastructure to networks and endpoints. By understanding and adapting to each customer’s unique environment, Expel finds gaps in current coverage and closes them with its own detections. Expel’s automation-forward approach accelerates response and remediation times while scaling quality.

Expel's security analysts leverage a proprietary technology, Expel WorkbenchTM, to ingest and process vast volumes of data so that customers can offload lower-level security tasks (alert monitoring, triage, etc.) that normally take up 80% of their time and resources. And Expel’s BYO-Tech approach offers native integration with commonly-used security tools, cloud services, and SaaS applications so customers get more value out of the technology they already own.
