Expel named a leader in Forrester Wave for MDR services

Cyber strain wasn’t in
the job description.

You’re chasing endless alerts, hunting threats, tuning tools (that promised to tune themselves), and fighting against your MDR vendor.

So we built the MDR we always wanted.

No agents to deploy. No forced tool swaps. Just experienced SOC analysts doing detection and response in your environment—whatever you’re running.

Humans + AI

We believe that AI makes SOC analysts better, not obsolete.

Fast & flexible

We believe in complete coverage using tools you already have.

Expertise & partnership

We believe the best security requires partnership, not transactions.

Transparency

We believe transparency means direct SOC access, not sanitized updates.

137 Reviews (Oct 2025)

99% of customers agree Expel
is a vendor they trust.

Trust isn’t built through sales decks. It’s earned by doing the work and not disappearing after the contract is signed.

90%

Time savings containing incident and improved MTTR by 64%

“Having Expel allowed us to beat our mean time to remediate (MTTR) by more than 60%. And more importantly, since Expel has eyes on alerts, our team had the flexibility to get out the alert queue and focus on maturing our security capabilities.”

Lewis McIntyre

Director, Global Security Services

$180K

Saved in security FTE costs per year

“Without Expel, we’d probably need another two or three people on the team. By keeping our team small, we can be better stewards of our donations.”

Marcus Brown

Infrastructure and security manager

50%

Fewer investigations

“Our engineers manage 50% fewer investigations than they previously handled, allowing them to focus on higher-value work.”

Drew Gallis

Staff Security Engineer

$1M+

Saved annually

“Numerous alerts are seen as a benefit, but those alerts come with a lot of false positives. With Expel MDR, we could reduce the alert noise and focus on those alerts that would reduce our risk and improve our security posture.”

Michael Darling

Former Senior Director of Information Security

We’ll cut so much noise, you’ll hear yourself think again.
