- •SaaS application coverage for tools like GitHub, Slack, and Salesforce
Arctic Wolf
Best-in-class concierge model for mid-market organizations needing a dedicated security partner. Technology-agnostic design avoids vendor lock-in. $3M warranty is the industry's largest. Trade-off is limited data transparency and guided (not active) remediation.

The attacker's mindset-driven threat hunting, AI-powered managed deception, and strong data portability philosophy make it ideal for security-mature organizations that want deep technical partnership without vendor lock-in.
