Entara: Delivering Exceptional, Security-Focused Cyber Security and IT Solutions For Organizations

The Silicon Review

eXtended Service Provider (XSP) is a new classification for IT and security operation providers. It was created in order to address the demands of our changing industry and the ever-increasing cybersecurity threats happening globally. An XSP does both, with security always front of mind, ensuring that all aspects of technology within your business are deployed and maintained securely, paying attention not only to security tools, but also to people, processes, policies, and risk.

Founded in 2001, Entara, formerly YJT Solutions, is an eXtended Service Provider (XSP) focused on providing cutting edge technology and cyber security solutions to companies in regulated industries. With its roots in providing service to the electronic trading market, the company is known for growing with the pace of technological change and the developing security needs of their clients. It is redefining and creating a new class of service providers, XSPs, because Entara recognizes that MSPs and MSSPs are no longer what the clients need. Downward pressure from both regulators and insurance providers convinced the firm that it was time to integrate IT and cyber security offerings and deliver strategic, future facing solutions for its clients.

Providing State-of-the-Art Cyber Security Solutions and Services

eXtended Service Provider (XSP): Entara takes a security-first approach to providing cyber security and IT operations that are integrated with innovative IT solutions. They deliver best-in-class services, delivered on the ServiceNow and Forecheck (full lifecycle security incident management) platforms, with fast response times and effective problem-solving skills. They solve your company’s technology issues by bringing IT and cyber security ops together. The company gets rid of disconnects and develops strategic solutions that plan for 3-5 years in the future because compartmentalizing and reactionary solutions increase risk and potential cost.

Forecheck: Forecheck is an automated incident management, remediation, and resilience platform built for ingesting incidents from your security provider. Forecheck delivers long term cyber resiliency information that can be implemented by your internal IT teams or by Forecheck. Entara supports your team by providing credits that can be applied to necessary resilience actions at a set price, no scoping needed. They help you prevent repeating incidents by providing technical resilience documentation that can be applied by your internal teams or by Forecheck. Entara's large bench allows them to learn who your business is, build a disaster recovery plan, and solve priority issues immediately after kickoff during the core stage of the project.

Cloud Security: As many organizations continue to shift to remote work, it is important that they rethink how to deliver superior and secure access for employees as spike in attacks on emerging surfaces continue to rise, while minimizing business disruption. Their cloud security service allows for extensive and contextualized insights that reduce the time to detect and respond to threats for modern and legacy security operations uses cases. Their services utilize multi-layered anti-virus, anti-spam, and phishing protection to shield your business against malware-based and malware-free email threats. Choosing the right cloud environment management platform depends on a number of business considerations, all of which are part of Entara’s Migration Strategy methodology. They bring a combination of strategic business and technical acumen to ensure that your cloud solution is the right one to support your business now and as it scales into the future.

Endpoint Security: Your organization’s IT department manages thousands of endpoints across its network, from desktops and servers to laptops and smart watches. Each endpoint can be an access point for cyber-attacks, which is why endpoint visibility is key. An integrated endpoint security service provides a hub for the collection and analysis of endpoint data, as well as for coordinating alerts and responses to threats. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is an integrated endpoint security solution that brings together real-time continuous monitoring and collection of endpoint data with automated response and analysis. EDR detects and investigates suspicious activities on hosts and endpoints through automation, which allows Entara's security team to act quickly to respond to threats. Additionally, the company leverages an analysis solution that detects and blocks advanced threats before it reaches inboxes. Their email encryption service helps reduce the potential negative impacts of data loss by automatically encrypting email.
