CriticalStart, a Top 200 MSSP, has integrated the Devo security information and event management (SIEM) solution into its managed detection and response (MDR) service, according to a prepared statement.
Organizations can leverage CriticalStart's MDR service in combination with Devo's SIEM solution to collect and analyze security data and insights, the companies stated. They also can use CriticalStart's MOBILESOC app to investigate, escalate, comment on, respond to and remediate security incidents on Android and iOS devices.
In addition, CriticalStart and Devo offer visibility across organizations' security environments, the companies noted. They ensure that organizations' data remains transparent and managed by a security operations center (SOC).
CriticalStart Grows MDR Business, Expands Headquarters

Along with those milestones, CriticalStart made several moves to accelerate its growth, including:
- Addition of $40 Million in Funding: Critical Start in mid-2019 raised $40 million in funding and received a minority investment from growth equity fund Sagemount.
