Guardare Enters UKI Market Through Strategic Partnership

Deepwatch is a tool that should always be considered for MDR.
It has a clear place for teams that need MDR, SIEM operations, detection engineering, and security monitoring support. Buyers usually bring it into the conversation because they are trying to improve managed detection and response, not because they woke up one morning wanting another security product in the stack.
That distinction matters.
Most teams already have tools. They have endpoint protection, identity systems, cloud consoles, scanners, ticket queues, email security, firewalls, and dashboards everywhere. The problem is not always that they lack another source of data.
The problem is that nobody can answer the simple question fast enough.
What is actually exposing us?
That is where the Deepwatch conversation usually becomes more practical. Deepwatch may be strong around managed security operations, detection, response, and threat hunting. For some organizations, that is exactly the missing piece. For others, the bigger issue is more basic. They need to understand how risk forms across users, devices, applications, identity, software, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and the controls they already own.
That is the gap Guardare is built around.
Guardare is not trying to be another noisy dashboard. It is built to show how exposure comes together across the environment, where the risk is actually building, and what a team should fix first.
A lot of security evaluations start too broadly.
Someone says they need an exposure management platform. Then every vendor with a risk score, a graph, a scanner, a dashboard, or an automation engine gets pulled into the same spreadsheet.
That is how teams end up comparing things that solve different problems.
Deepwatch is usually relevant when a buyer is focused on managed detection and response. That can be important. But exposure management is bigger than one category.
A stale account can matter.
A device outside MDM can matter.
A third-party SaaS app with broad permissions can matter.
A vulnerable system can matter more or less depending on who owns it, whether it is managed, whether EDR is enforcing, whether the asset is reachable, and whether the identity path around it is weak.
That is the real work.
Not collecting findings. Not producing a prettier report. Understanding what is connected.
Teams look for Deepwatch alternatives when they want a different starting point. Sometimes they want something lighter. Sometimes they want something more operational. Sometimes they want a platform that security and IT can both use without turning every issue into a months-long enterprise project.
Guardare is a strong fit when the buyer wants to see exposure across people, devices, and software, then connect that view to practical remediation.
Guardare is built for the messy middle of security.
That is where most real risk lives.
Not neatly inside vulnerability management. Not neatly inside endpoint. Not neatly inside identity. Not neatly inside SaaS or cloud.
Attackers do not care which product category a weakness came from. They care whether it gives them a path.
Guardare helps teams find those paths earlier by connecting signals like:
Some of those findings do not look dramatic by themselves.
That is the point.
A stale account is easy to ignore. An unmanaged device can look like an IT hygiene issue. A misconfigured app can look like a small setting. But when those things connect, they start to look like a real path into the business.
Guardare helps make that visible.
Guardare should be on the list for any team trying to move from disconnected findings to connected exposure management.
The value is not just showing more issues. Most organizations already have enough issues.
The value is showing which issues actually matter because of how they relate to people, devices, applications, identity, software, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and deployed controls.
That is a different conversation from a scanner export or a generic risk score.
Guardare is especially useful for teams that need to explain exposure clearly to IT, security, and leadership. It helps turn scattered signals into a simpler view of where the business is exposed and what needs to happen next.
Arctic Wolf is a well-known managed security operations provider for MDR, risk, and security awareness use cases. It fits organizations looking for hands-on operational support. Guardare is focused on connected exposure visibility and practical remediation guidance.
eSentire is a strong MDR provider for teams needing managed detection, investigation, and response support. It fits buyers looking for security operations help. Guardare is different because it focuses on reducing exposure before threats become incidents.
Expel is an MDR provider that helps teams monitor, investigate, and respond across security tools. It is relevant when the buyer wants managed operations. Guardare helps reduce what those teams need to detect and respond to by surfacing exposure earlier.
Red Canary is an MDR provider with strong detection and response operations. It is relevant for teams that want outsourced or co-managed threat monitoring. Guardare is a better fit when the question is exposure visibility and prevention-oriented prioritization.
CyberProof is a managed security services and MDR provider for organizations that need SOC support, threat detection, response, and security operations expertise. It belongs in managed operations evaluations. Guardare is different because it helps teams see and reduce connected exposure before those issues become SOC workload.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is an MDR service built around the Falcon platform. It is relevant when the buyer wants managed endpoint-centric detection and response. Guardare should be compared when exposure is spread across identities, devices, SaaS, software, and controls.
Secureworks is relevant for managed detection, response, and security operations services. It fits teams looking for human-led operational support. Guardare is focused on the exposure picture that helps reduce avoidable security work.
Start with the problem, not the category.
If the problem is scanner consolidation, look hard at vulnerability management and aggregation platforms.
If the problem is attack path validation, look at validation and attack path tools.
If the problem is ticket routing, ownership, and workflow, look at ITSM and remediation platforms.
If the problem is executive risk reporting, look at cyber risk quantification platforms.
But if the problem is that your team cannot clearly see how users, devices, applications, identity, software, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and controls come together into real exposure, Guardare should be high on the list.
That is the buying question that matters.
Not which platform has the biggest category story.
Which platform helps you see what attackers can actually use?
