Herndon, Va. – May 15 – Expel (https://expel.com), the1 company that’s tired of how press releases always start, has been named a Cool Vendor in the “Cool Vendors in Security Operations and Vulnerability Management” report by technology research firm, Gartner, Inc. Expel was one of four vendors recognized in the report, which evaluates emerging vendors in a particular market. According to the report “security and risk management leaders should consider new vendors of security technology and services to address security monitoring and vulnerability management requirements.”2
“I’m a little biased. Of course I think we’re cool,” said Dave Merkel, CEO at Expel. “Well…Expel is cool. I’m not. I’m a suburban dad. But, to us it’s nice to hear someone else – especially Gartner – write it down and explain the ins and outs of why Expel is cool.”
As a side note, we should probably mention that Expel replaces alerts with answers using a new approach called transparent managed security. Expel analysts use customers’ existing security products to monitor their environment 24×7 and investigate suspicious activity. When Expel spots an attack the customer gets answers, written in plain English, that explain exactly what to do, including how to fix the root cause of problems that happen over and over again. Customers can watch investigations as they’re unfolding and take action immediately – all within a shared interface. A complete overview of Expel’s offering is available at: https://expel.com/services/.
