Technology We Use to Provide Proactive Threat Protection
Achieving operational security excellence requires two things: A competent team of expert security analysts and an optimized tech stack for them to use. Castra equips its team members with some of the most sophisticated security tools on the planet and constantly invests in expanding their product knowledge.
SIEM
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms, like Exabeam and USM Anywhere, capture log data from every corner of the organization and analyze that data to detect suspicious activity. Castra has implemented over 2,000 SIEMs globally and created over 1,800 custom rules that directly address customer-specific vulnerabilities.
Threat Intelligence
Curated threat intelligence solutions like Anomali ThreatStream provide deep insight into the vulnerabilities that organizations face. By prioritizing alerts to match each organization’s risk profile, Anomali enables analysts to focus on the most critical vulnerabilities first.
XDR
Extended Detection and Response (XDR) gives analysts the power to enforce comprehensive security policies across endpoints, cloud applications, network assets, and beyond. SentinelOne Singularity XDR provides a centralized solution for automated detection and response across multiple tools and platforms, giving analysts a critical edge when addressing complex threats.
Remote Log Management
Log management isn’t just for in-house network assets. Organizations need to collect logs from users wherever they log in. Wazuh’s open-source solution for remote log management gives analysts comprehensive data on remote assets and distributed team member activities.
MDR vs In-House Security Operations
Managing security operations is time-consuming and resource intensive. Your in-house security team should be doing more than responding to alerts and putting out fires. With Castra’s MDR services scaling your security and response capabilities, you can put your team to work on strategic, high-impact initiatives that generate lasting value.
Benefits of working with a MDR provider:
- Access to specialized expertise in cybersecurity and threat detection
- Access to advanced technologies and tools for threat detection and response
- 24/7 monitoring and response to security incidents
- Faster incident response times, leading to reduced damage and downtime
- Reduction in costs and resource requirements associated with maintaining an in-house SOC
- Improved overall cybersecurity posture
How MDR Can Extend Your SIEM Capabilities
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) technology provides a comprehensive platform for logging and storing activity data from every corner of your network. Security analysts use this data to detect advanced threats, identify vulnerabilities, and meet compliance guidelines.
Configuring, implementing, and maintaining a SIEM platform is a resource-intensive challenge. Castra provides MDR services that help organizations optimize their security posture with “glass box” methodologies. Our customers retain full ownership of their data and total visibility into security processes. We customize SIEM deployments to fit real-world needs and provide scalable 24x7 management services for those deployments.
We tailor security solutions around the unique demands of your environment.
In fact, we've created over 1,800 custom rules for SIEM that can only be found at Castra.

SIEM Deployment is a Marathon, not a Sprint
Building a SIEM product is challenging, and that challenge doesn’t end once the platform is running.
Your cybersecurity needs will change over time, and so will the tools and techniques threat actors use to compromise your systems. Successful SIEM operation demands continuous threat detection and analysis, informed by the latest cybersecurity research and trends.
It takes an experienced team and considerable resources to manage a SIEM platform effectively. Not only does your team need to conduct research into new cybersecurity threats and trends, but it must also actively expand its capabilities to meet the needs of enterprise growth.
There is no such thing as a “set-and-forget" SIEM platform. They demand the expertise of highly qualified security analysts who can conduct investigations and produce detailed reports. Your organization can achieve this performance by expanding its security team in partnership with Castra’s highly qualified security analysts.
