More on the subject

Security monitoring has become a central theme in today’s cybersecurity landscape. Many organizations still rely on traditional SIEM solutions. ASICS, however, has chosen a different approach. The company is rolling out a global XDR (Extended Detection and Response) strategy, not only to detect threats but also to respond to them directly. By utilizing specialized tools for email, endpoint, identity, and network security, ASICS correlates enriched data. The result: lower costs, sharper insights, and real-time response capabilities.
