As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and rapidly evolving IT environments, Gartner reports that nearly three-quarters of CISOs say their cybersecurity teams lack sufficient staffing. To help organizations keep pace with growing security demands, Thrive continues to invest in the technologies behind its managed services, enabling customers to benefit from enterprise-grade capabilities without the cost or complexity of building them internally. Rather than introducing standalone products, these enhancements represent Thrive’s ongoing strategy of continually modernizing the platform that powers the client experience.

“Security is fundamentally a data problem, but for too long, legacy constraints have forced organizations to make risk-based decisions on budget, dropping critical data and leaving blind spots where adversaries hide,” said Mike Nichols, general manager, Security at Elastic. “Elastic gives Thrive the high-speed foundation to ingest and analyze security data at scale without compromise, and apply transparent, ‘show-your-work’ AI to automate away the mundane analyst toil. By combining our open platform with Thrive’s managed expertise, we keep a critical ‘human on the loop’ to cut through the noise, focus on actual adversarial behavior, and respond to threats at machine speed.”
