WHY EXPEL?
Security without compromise
Experience security operations that’s proactive, resilient, and built to last.
MDR Challenge?
Traditional MDR models force you to choose
Every CISO plays the “pick two” game. Most MDR providers make you sacrifice flexibility for coverage, or transparency for speed.
OUTCOME-FIRST APPROACH
Built for practitioners, not the vendor
Expel is built by practitioners who’ve been in the SOC at 3 AM handling real incidents and know which compromises can break a team.

What Customers Say
Real results from real security teams.
Don’t take our word for it—here’s what happens when security teams partner with practitioners who show their work and deliver on what they promised.
“Expel’s platform has significantly streamlined our security operations. Expel’s AI-driven triage system effectively prioritizes alerts, allowing our analysts to focus on the most critical issues. This has greatly improved our overall operational efficiency.”
“Without Expel, we would have needed to hire at least two or three times our current security engineering team to achieve this centralization.”
“Out of a million events, I would say 99.5% of them are filtered out in triage by AI and machine learning before we actually need to have eyes on the actual issue.”
“Security really is a team sport. With Expel, we have another set of eyes looking at this thing and backing us up. We’re backstopping each other at the end of the day. Because we’re all working from the Expel platform, Workbench, we can collaborate effectively and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.”
