Some key features of N-able’s MDR solution

 

Transparency and data access: Unlike some MDR providers that operate as a "black box," N-able offers full transparency to MSP/IT-staff, allowing complete access to data and visibility into security operations. This level of access provides peace of mind for MSP/IT-staff that require detailed insights into the security posture.

​

Flexible management options: MSP/IT-staff can choose how they want to manage the platform, either on their own or together with N-able's experts.

​

Multi-tenant architecture: N-able's platform is built on a multi-tenant, cloud-based architecture that enables MSP/IT-staff to have a comprehensive view of security across the entire base.  N-able has enhanced its platform with AI-based detections and new features like Honeypot, advancing its capability to provide enterprise-grade security.

​

Comprehensive platform: N-able provides a wide range of security capabilities through a single license and platform, including SIEM, vulnerability scanning, threat intelligence, UEBA threat hunting, honeypots, automated incident response, and more. This all-in-one approach simplifies security operations.

​

N-able’s agnostic approach: The vendor-agnostic approach enables N-able to ingest data from various sources across the enterprise, including network traffic, web servers, VPNs, firewalls, custom applications, EDR protection and more. This comprehensive data collection provides a more holistic view of an organization's security posture. N-able's security operations platform seamlessly integrates with customer’s existing tech stacks, allowing to leverage the current security investments more effectively.  By correlating and prioritizing alerts from various sources, including different endpoint solutions, N-able can provide more comprehensive and accurate threat detection capabilities which provides a flexible, comprehensive, and cost-effective security solution that can adapt to customers’ existing infrastructure and scale with future needs.

​

Ransomware defense:

N-able's platform offers a comprehensive approach to ransomware defense, focusing on early detection and rapid response to minimize damage. Key features of N-able's ransomware defense include:

​

Ransomware Prevention Feature: This capability can detect and stop ransomware attacks in progress, saving an average of 99% of files from encryption. It works by monitoring the roots of the file system and quickly identifying and terminating ransomware activity.

​

Ransomware and Exfiltration Prevention: N-able has added a new capability that detects and stops attackers from exfiltrating data, addressing the double-extortion techniques employed by many ransomware groups.

​

Decoy File Strategy: The platform strategically places decoy files to attract malicious actors. It then monitors these files for signs of encryption or data exfiltration, terminating the process at the earliest signs of activity.

​

Automated Protection: N-able's solution provides an additional layer of automated protection, saving MSP/IT-staff  time, effort, and money in addressing successful attacks.

​

Post-Execution Detection: While the tool focuses on post-execution detection, it aims to identify and mitigate ransomware very quickly, often within seconds of the attack beginning.

​

Free Simulation Tool: N-able offers a free ransomware simulation tool that organizations can use to test the efficacy of their current defenses against ransomware exfiltration and encryption.

​

While N-able's ransomware defense tools are powerful, they should be used in conjunction with other cybersecurity best practices to create a comprehensive defense strategy.

​

Microsoft 365Microsoft 365 integration:

N-able has recently introduced Dynamic M365 Prevention, a feature that implements dynamic compromise prevention across nearly every detectable M365 event.

​

Cloud security: N-able's platform offers cloud incident management capabilities, which would be relevant for Microsoft's cloud-based endpoint protection solutions.

​

Enhanced threat detection: N-able's MDR leverages advanced technologies like AI-driven threat detection and behavioral analysis to identify sophisticated threats that may bypass Microsoft 365's built-in security features.

​

Comprehensive visibility: By integrating M365 logs into N-able's MDR solution, organizations gain complete visibility into their environment, allowing for monitoring and analysis of user activities, logins, file access, and email actions.

​

Improved alert management: N-able's MDR solution helps prioritize and manage the large volume of alerts generated by M365, reducing the burden on IT teams and ensuring critical threats are addressed promptly.

​

Advanced impossible travel detection: N-able's platform can effectively detect and respond to "impossible travel" scenarios, where login attempts occur from geographically distant locations in an impossibly short time frame

​

Compliance support: N-able's MDR helps businesses meet regulatory requirements related to data security by providing comprehensive security measures and documentation.

​

Integration at no additional cost: Unlike typical MDR solutions, N-able offers M365 integration at no extra charge, providing added value to the customers. 

​

Zero Trust approach: N-able's User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) paired with their MDR analysis provides a Zero Trust approach to identify outliers, investigate, and contain threats before they become business-disruptive incidents.
