Critical Start is a cybersecurity company offering managed detection and response services and technology to companies across the US.
Critical Start’s MDR platform simplifies breach prevention by helping organizations identify, assess, and respond to cyber threats in real time while analyzing threat data to inform future responses.
The Company’s technology and security operation center (SOC) analysts leverage a deep pool of behavioral data to automatically resolve over 99% of security alerts, reduce risk acceptance, and improve team productivity.
In addition to the Company’s MDR platform, Critical Start’s Incident Response Team provides hands-on readiness, response, and forensic services for enterprise security teams.
"As more security partners and end customers recognize the unique value our ZTAP and MDR services add to their technologies, we’ve seen our MDR opportunities quadruple and our deal size triple compared to a year ago. The funding from Sagemount gives us the resources to accelerate our expansion and capitalize on the market demand for MDR services. As an employee-owned company, Critical Start was looking for a capital partner that understood the market opportunity and valued our culture and focus. Sagemount proved to be the perfect fit"
