The security gap

Tools alone are not a program.

Most organizations already have pieces of protection in place. The harder problem is operating tools, alerts, owners, reporting, and follow-through as one security program instead of a set of security silos.

Alerts, vulnerabilities, email threats, identity risk, and exposure findings often move on separate tracks.Without a managed operating layer, teams must reconcile consoles, match findings to assets, assign owners, and decide which item gets handled first.

01Manual correlationTeams reconcile security findings across disconnected consoles and reports.

02Unclear ownershipImportant items can stall when the next action, owner, or escalation path is not obvious.

03Slow follow-throughSecurity activity becomes harder to assign, report, and sustain over time.

How the managed layer comes together

Separate tools become one managed security workflow.

With Security Blanket℠, ACS monitors endpoint, email, identity, log, vulnerability, exposure, and awareness alerts together — then triages findings, drives response actions, and tracks recurring improvements.

Key capabilities

Seven layers, operated with one ACS rhythm

Security Blanket℠ brings endpoint, email, SIEM/XDR, vulnerability, awareness, identity, and exposure monitoring into one ACS-operated program. Each layer can stand alone; together, they create a managed workflow for alerts, findings, reporting, and escalation.

01 · Security Blanket · SentinelOne

Managed Endpoint Detection & Response

Behavior-aware endpoint protection detects malware, ransomware, suspicious execution, and novel attack patterns on protected endpoints, with ACS-supported triage and containment-oriented response.

Behavior-based endpoint detection
Host isolation, quarantine, and remediation support
Endpoint context for what happened, how it spread, and what to fix

02 · Security Blanket · Abnormal Security

Advanced Email Security

Behavioral and relationship-based email defense identifies phishing, executive impersonation, vendor fraud, payment-change scams, business email compromise, and account-compromise signals that rule-based filters can miss.

Communication-pattern analysis
BEC, vendor, and wire-fraud signal review
Account-takeover response workflows

03 · Security Blanket · Rapid7 InsightIDR

Managed SIEM/XDR Visibility

ACS enriches connected logs with detection content, correlation logic, behavioral context, and threat intelligence so higher-value events are easier to review and route.

Detection rules and behavioral analytics
Threat-intelligence enrichment
Cleaner escalation context for SOC, MDR, and IT

04 · Security Blanket · Rapid7 InsightVM

Vulnerability Management

Scanning and reporting cover approved internal and external assets including servers, endpoints, network devices, cloud workloads, virtual machines, containers, exposed services, and selected applications.

Threat-informed prioritization
Dashboards, aging findings, and trend reporting
Owner follow-up and remediation workflow support

05 · Security Blanket · Wizer

Security Awareness & Phishing Support

Awareness and phishing support includes short training modules, campaign scheduling, policy acknowledgement workflows, completion reporting, and targeted follow-up for higher-risk users or departments.

Bite-sized user training
Phishing simulation support
Completion, click, report, and policy visibility

06 · Security Blanket · Silverfort + Flare

Identity, MFA & Exposure Monitoring

Silverfort MFA management and Flare exposure monitoring extend access protection and external visibility across cloud, legacy, hybrid, privileged, brand, domain, credential, and people-related risk signals.

SaaS, cloud, legacy, hybrid, and privileged access coverage
Cyber-insurance and control-evidence reporting
Domains, IPs, brands, executives, keywords, and credential signals

Operating layer · How ACS keeps it moving

The stack matters. The operating model makes it usable.

Separate tools become one managed security workflow. Security Blanket℠ is more than a bundle of products: ACS turns active layers into a managed rhythm for configuration, monitoring, triage, reporting, escalation, and recurring improvement.

Operating system for security workSignals enter once, then move through a repeatable ACS-managed path.

01AssessReview controls, users, assets, coverage needs, business risk, and internal capacity.
02ConfigureSet up or tune active layers around telemetry, access, contacts, and reporting expectations.
03MonitorWatch alerts, findings, vulnerabilities, and external exposure signals across active modules.
04TriageOrganize findings into urgency, owner, next action, and escalation path.
05ReportMake security activity clearer for leaders, technical stakeholders, and cyber-risk conversations.
06ImproveUse trends and recurring findings to mature the program over time.

SOC depth, support & response objectives

Layered telemetry, real operators, defined response objectives.

Security Blanket℠ is the layered MSSP stack ACS operates and tunes. Pair Security Blanket℠ with ACS Active SOC for 24x7 analyst-led investigation, containment, and escalation — not just dashboards.

From layered telemetry to SOC action

The Security Blanket layers generate the endpoint, email, identity, log, vulnerability, and exposure telemetry. With Active SOC / MDR, ACS analysts work that telemetry end to end.

Before and after

Less scattered. More managed.

Security Blanket℠ moves organizations from separate tools and manual follow-up to ACS-managed operations, findings triage, and reporting across active layers.

BeforeFragmented security

Tools are present, but the program is hard to run.

When each layer operates on its own, teams spend too much time reconciling findings, matching them to assets, assigning follow-up, and explaining security activity.

×
Separate consoles and reports.Endpoint, email, vulnerability, identity, and exposure signals stay separated.
×
Alerts compete with remediation work.Teams decide manually what needs attention and who owns the next step.
×
Follow-through depends on internal bandwidth.Security activity can stall when staff are carrying daily IT and business priorities.
×
Leadership visibility is inconsistent.Progress is harder to summarize when every layer tells a different story.

AfterSecurity Blanket℠

Layers work inside one managed security workflow.

ACS reviews active modules together so coverage, findings, handoffs, and reports can be managed as one workflow, whether Security Blanket is bundled or selected à la carte by security layer.

✓
Layered capabilities organized as a program.EDR, email security, SIEM/XDR, vulnerability management, awareness, MFA, and exposure monitoring sit under one umbrella.
✓
ACS-run triage and escalation.Findings move through a managed working model with clearer next actions and escalation paths.
✓
Structured follow-through across active modules.Security tasks, tuning opportunities, and trends feed a repeatable improvement workflow.
✓
Business-readable reporting.Leaders see posture, priorities, and progress without parsing every tool individually.
