With the addition of Redscan and its extended detection and response enabled security operations center platform, Kroll expands its Kroll Responder capabilities to support a wider array of cloud and on-premise telemetry sources.

Redscan will join Kroll under the leadership of Andrew Beckett, Managing Director and Head of the EMEA Cyber Risk practice, and Marc Brawner, Managing Director and Global Head of Managed Services.

"Jason Smolanoff, Managing Director and Global Leader of Cyber Risk at Kroll, said,"Detecting and responding to cyber threats can be an overwhelming challenge for any size company-most lack adequate tools, skills and staff to quickly triage and confidently respond.

Redscan's UK-based team and SOC further enhance Kroll's existing managed security offerings in the EU, providing opportunities for expanded compliance with GDPR. With Redscan, Kroll will enhance its ability to incorporate frontline threat intelligence from handling over 2,700 cyber security incidents per year to monitor, hunt and remediate incidents on behalf of Kroll Responder clients.

"Mike Fenton added,"Merging Redscan's innovative culture and leading managed security services with Kroll's unparalleled incident response experience and end-to-end cyber risk management capabilities allows us to provide a unique global offering.

"Together, our professionals will harness the power of technology and their deep expertise to provide clarity and cyber resilience for clients, solidifying our position at the forefront of cyber security solutions. I look forward to building on this mandate with our expanded, global Cyber Risk team."
