# Covalence vs Arctic Wolf ! ## Simple, powerful, and proactive cybersecurity —no add-ons required. ! By natively integrating multiple layers of protection, Covalence stops threats across your endpoints, networks, and cloud services, all from a single dashboard. Eliminating complexity and noise, Covalence gives you the tools to confidently identify and stop cyber threats no matter your technical background—giving SMBs and their MSP partners a superior solution that outpaces all others on the market. ### Arctic Wolf Arctic Wolf offers a single layer of reactive protection in your overall tech stack to monitor for and investigate threats in your environment, but does not provide the critical tooling required to identify and block these threats in real time. Clients are forced to purchase additional tooling to achieve comprehensive protection. Arctic Wolf’s siloed visibility also makes the solution noisy and difficult to tune, requiring additional support from their concierge team to establish baseline protection. Clients are left to investigate false positives themselves, and must address threats after they have already entered their system and potentially caused damage. --- ### Feature Comparison | Feature | Covalence | Arctic Wolf | |-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | **COVERAGE** | 24/7 human-led monitoring Enhanced 24/7 monitoring and analysis for endpoints, networks, and cloud services, backed by powerful automation and human oversight. | Manual 24/7 monitoring and analysis for endpoints, networks, and cloud services with manual response. | | **Detection & response** | Included World-class protection that combines sophisticated data analysis with real-time detection and response for known threats, malicious behavior, and more. | Limited Relies on third-party EDR tools to provide comprehensive protection. | | **DETECTION** | Real-time Automated alerting correlates and verifies security events from across your environment and notifies you of the most important information. | Near-real time Manually verified alerting creates delays and slows time to alert and remediate. | | **Threat hunting** | Sophisticated Combined defensive and offensive threat hunting catches the widest variety of attacks, as well as new and emerging vulnerabilities that would otherwise pose a risk. | Limited Defensive threat hunting only looks for attackers already in your system. | | **RESPONSE** | Automatic Automatically isolate hosts and personalize risk tolerance to tailor response, accommodating for device type, severity of risk, and other factors. | Manual Manual host isolation creates delays, increasing the time required to contain threats and exposes users to risk. | | **Alert volume** | Manual Jargon-free remediation instructions are automatically shared to speed up resolution.
