GUIDE
Red Canary Was Acquired. What Happens to Your MDR Strategy Now?
When Zscaler acquired Red Canary, the MDR model changed. Some teams are moving toward a platform‑controlled future. Others want to keep control of their security stack.
Two Different MDR Paths
The acquisition created two very different approaches to MDR.
One path moves toward a platform‑controlled model, where integrations and visibility are defined by a single vendor’s stack.
The other keeps your environment stack‑agnostic, letting you choose the tools, integrations, and workflows that work best for your team.
What Red Canary Customers Are Evaluating
Security teams using Red Canary are starting to evaluate a few key questions:- Will integrations remain open to third‑party tools?
- Who controls the MDR roadmap moving forward?
- How will response coverage evolve under a platform model?
This datasheet outlines the operational differences between the two approaches.
Staying in Control
Deepwatch MDR is built around a different philosophy:
-
Bring your own EDR and SIEM
-
Full SOC visibility and tuning workflows
-
24/7 active response from the Deepwatch SOC
-
Detection built around your environment
