Good to know before you compare
Multi-factor authentication comes first
A second step at sign-in on email, remote access and your main apps is the most basic control there is. Many cyber insurance policies now ask about it, so it is worth checking what your own policy requires.
Detection is a service, not a box
Managed detection and response means people and software watching your systems around the clock and acting when something looks wrong. A firewall on its own does not do that.
Remote work moved the edge
A firewall protects the office. It does not protect a laptop at a kitchen table. Security for a remote or hybrid team has to follow the person and the device.
Questions people ask
What is managed detection and response?
Managed detection and response, or MDR, is a service where a security team monitors your computers and network around the clock, investigates alerts, and responds to threats for you. It suits businesses that do not have their own security staff.
What is SASE?
SASE, short for secure access service edge, combines networking and security in one cloud service. Instead of sending everyone through a firewall at the office, each person and site connects to a nearby secure gateway. It is built for teams that work from many places.
Do I need this for cyber insurance?
Many insurers ask about multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection and backups before they write or renew a policy. Requirements differ by insurer, so check your own policy. Teli can include what your insurer asks for in the request.
