We are thrilled to share that eSentire has once again been recognized with multiple badges by G2 as part of their Fall 2026 Grid® Reports! The quarterly G2 Grid® Reports provide a high-level overview of the top leaders in any given product category, based on peer-to-peer feedback from real customers and market presence (based on market share, seller size, and social impact).
In the Fall 2026 Grid® Reports, we earned 5 badges across the Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and System Security product categories, reaffirming our position as a Leader across the board:
- Leader – MDR
- Leader – Mid-Market MDR
- Leader – Enterprise MDR
- Users Love Us – MDR
- Leader – System Security
According to G2, to qualify for the Managed Detection and Response category, a provider must:
- Monitor client networks and endpoints for security incidents
- Resolve threats on the client's behalf
- Provide these managed services without the need of client assistance
As the pioneer in MDR and combining 20 years of expertise, telemetry data, and now with human on the loop AI automation to move at machine speed, protecting our customers has been and will always be our top priority. Our security operations are built on eSentire Atlas AI, a multi-agent Generative AI system purpose-built and embedded across our Atlas Security Operations Platform to scale human expertise and deliver:
- <5 minutes to move from signal telemetry to full threat context
- 95% alignment to Tier 3 SOC Analyst validation and expertise
- 99% noise reduction across customer environments
- 99.9% initial host compromise prevention
- 200 new threat protections added per day to harden customer defenses
eSentire's 24/7 Multi-Signal Managed Detection and Response (MDR) helps 2,000+ organizations globally across 80+ countries and 35+ industries to find exposures before attackers and stop threats in real time. We operate a continuous security lifecycle that unifies offensive validation, managed detection, and autonomous response as one compounding flywheel under Controlled Autonomy governance.
The eSentire Atlas Platform powers adaptive AI Operatives that expose, detect, and neutralize cyberattacks across any vendor stack, with every autonomous action explainable, reversible, and policy-bounded.
What continues to differentiate eSentire is the closed loop between offense and defense. Through our Autonomous Pen Testing and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) capabilities, we find the exposures and attack paths adversaries would use against you while Atlas hunts and contains threats against them in real time. Offensive validation doesn't just generate a report at eSentire; it directly hardens your defense. Quarter over quarter, that offense-to-defense flywheel is what keeps customers renewing their trust in us, and it's reflected in this quarter's Grid results.
By layering hypothesis-driven proactive threat hunting and deep threat intelligence from our Threat Response Unit (TRU), we help customers build a resilient, continuously improving security program and stay ahead of attackers.
To that end, we have been recognized with multiple industry awards, including:
- Named in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide MDR Services for Midmarket
- Best Agentic AI Security Platform at The Hacker News Cybersecurity Stars Awards 2026
- 2026 Global MSSP Partner of the Year by Tenable
