SA
Security Engineer at CSOC
Automation has improved detection workflows and provides real-time visibility across all logs
Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 could be improved in terms of integration of Windows log sources. Rapid 7 SIEM has a feature whereby I can integrate Active Directory. However, when I want to integrate system logs, application logs, and everything from my event viewer, Rapid 7 does not have a customized feature for that. Most times, I have to leverage NXLog, which is not ideal. It would be better to have a ready-to-go plugin for it. Additionally, for InsightConnect, an orchestrator, sometimes when I am integrating with third-party ticketing solutions, SNMP might give me issues. Finally, the TLS feature of Rapid 7 is a bit unreliable.

Gained deep visibility into web threats and protect data across hybrid environments
The biggest benefit of Forcepoint [Private Offer Only] from a technical perspective is the solution's features and functionality. Visibility creates a process to address anomalies, and visibility is how Forcepoint [Private Offer Only] is helpful. Visibility is the first step in threat detection, as what you cannot see, you cannot protect. When you have visibility, you can establish a path for remediation. This flexibility is important because data localization is one of the challenges customers face. Some customers prefer an on-site implementation, while others are comfortable with a hybrid environment that includes both cloud and on-site solutions. Depending on the customer's requirements and anything related to compliance or their company's inherent requirements, they choose to go for on-premises or cloud deployment.
