EnsureScout™

EnsureScout™ is Digital Boardwalk’s security information and event management (“SIEM”) platform. EnsureScout™ connects to your cloud platforms, such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, ingests hundreds of thousands of security logs, and then applies advanced detection rules to alert us of suspicious activity. Although EnsureScout™ cannot block threats, it does provide early detection, giving us the opportunity to quickly investigate and stop active threats before they can do too much damage.
