SDefender vs Legacy

A different class of security operations

Traditional SIEM, SOAR and human-run SOCs detect after the fact and depend on analysts. SDefender detects at the reconnaissance stage and responds on its own. Here is the side-by-side.

Traditional SIEM / SOAR / SOC SDefender Advantage
Where it acts Legacy: After compromise: alerts on what already happened SDefender: Pre-breach, at reconnaissance Catch attacks earlier
Response time Legacy: Hours to days SDefender: ~0.56s automated response, end-to-end Orders of magnitude faster
Response mode Legacy: Manual, scripted playbooks SDefender: Autonomous in ~0.12s No analyst delay for covered actions
Personnel required Legacy: 24/7 SOC team SDefender: Automated for covered response paths Less 24/7 triage pressure
False positives Legacy: Alert floods; most never investigated SDefender: Typically < 3 per month Noise greatly reduced
Detection method Legacy: Signatures & static rules SDefender: Entropy + behavior + deception Detects novel and zero-day behavior
Deception Legacy: Add-on or none SDefender: Built-in SmokeScreen (proprietary deception) Intel on attackers
Setup time Legacy: 6–12 months SDefender: 1 day to onboard; autonomy in 2–4 weeks Months of lead time removed
Total cost Legacy: High OpEx / CapEx SDefender: Up to 85% lower Significant ROI

Figures reflect typical production deployments and the SDefender architecture; exact results depend on your environment and are validated together during a pilot, before you commit. SDefender deploys on-premises or in your own cloud, so your telemetry stays with you.
