The Expel transparent managed security service blends the Expel Workbench interface and Expel security analyst monitoring, the company said. By doing so, the service empowers Expel's customers and security analysts to work together to identify and address cyberattacks.
Key features of Expel transparent managed security include:
- Alerting: Expel customers can review alert details, including a timeline that shows what happened before, during and after a security incident.

Expel's transparent managed security service also is designed to filter out false positives, the company noted, to help customers quickly engage on relevant threats.
