An open-source tool that offers great automation capabilities

My company uses Red Canary MDR to simulate MITRE ATT&CK, like spearphishing and updating domain names The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part. If we have to perform MITRE ATT&CK, we have to do it step by step, wherein we have to run all the commands, while Red Canary MDR…

A security solution for vulnerability assessment with automated scans

Additional costs are associated with using the solution, as additional scanners are required for different endpoints connected to the Tenable Security Center. If Tenable Security Center could extract information from these scanners automatically rather than manually, it would enhance user-friendliness for customers. For example, suppose I manually conducted CIS hardening or compliance scoring in a separate data centre. These scores should also be reflected in the Tenable Security Center dashboard. Since the scanner is connected to the Tenable Security Center, the dashboard should display the direct scan results from the general security centre and the connected scanners. There could be unusual activities or attacks with the rising AI-related issues or threats that the Tenable Security Center could track in the future.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The valuable features of this solution are it integrates well with different EDR software, such CrowdStrike, and Carbon Black, and the information it provides is helpful."

"The near real-time review translates into near real-time action. So, in addition to alerting, Red Canary MDR has response playbooks built out."

"The solution works well for what we use it for and the support and protection are good."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its automation part."

"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning."

"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."

"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."

"The tool provides us insight into the happens of the network and its hosts. It provides me with a list of hosts."

"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."

"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."

"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."

Cons

"The most valuable feature of Red Canary MDR is the overall threat protection it provides."

"In general, the solution currently fails to provide a summary to its users."

"The price could always be better."

"I would like there to be an on-premise version of this solution for our data centers because of the proliferation of online threats."

"The solution is expensive."

"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."

"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic. If I use a tool like Nmap, all I have to do is download it, install it, type in the command, and it's good to go. In Security Center, I have to go through a lot of work to create a policy that's very basic."

"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."

"For downloading reports, we have to go to the scan and then we have to go to the reports and download the Excel or CSV or PDF. I think these menus and clicks can be minimized."

"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."

"It could be more user-friendly for creating custom reports."

"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have not compared Red Canary to other solutions to know if the price is high or low. However, I have found the price of this solution fair and reasonable, it cost approximately $100 per year, per device. If they could provide the solution for $50 per year, per device, it would be better."

"Red Canary MDR I use is an open-source tool."

"The solution could vary in price depending on how many endpoints a company has."

"Tenable.sc is more expensive than its competitors."

"My company needs to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs. The pricing of the solution falls in the mid-range level, so it is not too expensive"

"Compared to other companies or other products it could maybe be a little bit less, but the price is okay. I would say it's not very expensive."

"For 500 users the licensing fee is roughly $100,000."

"The pricing is more than Nexpose."

"The pricing depends upon the number of IPs."

"The tool costs around 15,000 Saudi riyals monthly."

"It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."
