"We're advancing our detection and response capabilities with tailored response actions at scale, while our customers will directly reap the benefits of the technology without having to purchase new modules. By incorporating Revelstoke's platform into [Arctic Wolf], Arctic Wolf will be now able to provide customers with the advanced technology and deep security operations expertise needed to make SOAR outcomes essentially turnkey," said Arctic Wolf Chief Product Officer Dan Schiappa.
