Arctic Wolf's Todd Thiemann on How to Augment Existing Staff, Defenses
Managed Detection & Response for Financial Services

Ransomware. Phishing. Credential stuffing. These are among the top threats to financial institutions of all sizes. Small-to-midsized ones are particularly challenged to detect and respond to these threats. Arctic Wolf's Security Expert, Todd Thiemann, discusses the value of deploying managed detection and response (MDR) security.

The expense and challenge of maintaining in-house cybersecurity resources are just too great for many institutions, so managed services become an attractive option, says Thiemann.

"You need to keep some of the key things in-house, such as strategy and planning and boots-on-the-ground response," Thiemann says. "However, outsourcing can be more effective to monitor your environment for compliance, as well as detect and respond to bad stuff."

In an interview about MDR for the mid-market, Thiemann discusses:

  • The business value of MDR and SOC-as-a-service;
  • How these managed services augment - not replace - existing staff;
  • Questions security leaders should ask before selecting an MDR vendor.

Thiemann is responsible for product marketing at Arctic Wolf. He has over 15 years of information security experience across a range of subjects including malware detection, SIEM, encryption, key management and IAM/authentication at leading cybersecurity companies including Trend Micro, Vormetric/Thales, PrivateCore and Nok Nok Labs.
