FAQ
How it Works
General
How is Arctic Wolf different from an MSSP, MSP, Managed SIEM or Managed EDR?
Arctic Wolf offers security operations solutions. Unlike other vendors, who focus on delivering and managing a security tool for their customers, Arctic Wolf solutions deliver actionable security operations outcomes, whether that’s 24×7 alerting, targeted remediation, or strategic guidance. We’re there for every step of your security journey.
Why should I consider using Arctic Wolf over other security point products and managed services?
The cybersecurity industry has spent decades developing generation after generation of increasingly sophisticated and more powerful point products, and IT teams have worked equally hard to acquire, adopt, and implement those tools. But the scope of cybercrime continues to grow. When we look at major breaches and cybersecurity incidents, we typically observe that the businesses had sufficient tools in place to prevent or detect the breach—but attacks happened anyway. Why does that happen? It’s because the gap in cybersecurity today is not a tools problem, it’s an operational gap, and Arctic Wolf is the market leader in security operations.
Concierge Security Team
What do your Concierge Security Teams do?
Each Arctic Wolf customer is assigned to a Concierge Security Team, which is a dedicated team of three named security operations experts. Your Concierge Security Team is your point of contact for all your Arctic Wolf solutions. They are responsible for alert triage, threat hunting, risk and patching prioritization, remediation support, standard and custom reporting, compliance activities, security recommendations, and strategic guidance along your entire security journey.
How does the Concierge Security Team help my organization respond to threats?
With your Concierge Security Team, you’ll customize your Arctic Wolf security operations solution(s)—helping identify the key risks to your organization and establishing a vigilant security posture. From there, your Concierge Security Team will help filter through alerts and perform threat hunting. When a threat is identified, the Concierge Security Team will contact your organization within minutes and execute your response strategy—which can include both targeted remediation guidance and containment activities.

Can I co-manage my security operations with Arctic Wolf?
Arctic Wolf provides security operations solutions, not co-management. All our solutions are delivered through our proprietary cloud-based platform and managed by our Concierge Security Teams, in consultation with our customers. However, customers have access to the solutions through our portals, reports, log search tools, and more.
How long does it take to receive coverage?
It depends on the Arctic Wolf solution and the customer’s timeline and priorities. Some security solutions can be made available in minutes or hours. Rapid deployment of other solutions can be completed within a week, if necessary, or can occur over a longer timeline. If you are responding to an active security threat or incident, please contact us immediately to understand how soon Arctic Wolf security operations can protect your business.
