Sucess Story: More About eSentire

How the Technology works

eSentire’s service is first deployed using a piece of equipment called a sensor. The sensor is placed at the customer’s physical office to collect all the data and traffic that is passing in and out of the customer environment. As this happens, notifications of any suspicious activity or threats are sent to the security operations center (SOC). The SOC consists of several teams of cyber security experts who track down these threats as they appear and remediate them before they cause any damage to the company. They are a 24/7 working operation and are trained to detect and respond to any malicious activity. While top class firewalls and antivirus can only go so far, a managed detection and response company like eSentire, can take the security approach to the next level by providing remediation to any minor and major threats that enter a company environment.

In the case of our client, who is a hybrid cloud service provider, a more specific piece of equipment was required to be used which is called a packet broker. Since our client has an existing data center in which they host their customer’s virtual machines and virtual servers, they needed something that could separate all their customer’s traffic so that everything wasn’t just coming through a single pipe. For this reason, the packet broker was required to decipher and filter all the different customer’s data and traffic to be securely monitored.
