Software engineers call it refactoring. Every solution starts simple and grows to a point of unmanageability. Legacy security technology companies are struggling to refactor to remain relevant as clients demand more for less. Small to medium-sized companies have even smaller budgets and have traditionally come up short. In 2015, Todyl was founded to deliver a simple, yet extendable solution, providing a unique option for small to medium-sized companies.

In the early 2000s, Splunk transformed the SEIM market by providing meaningful value to IT roles and Cybersecurity roles from a single platform. Unlike other vendors which required extensive professional services to deliver to a single use case, Splunk provided standard seats satisfying mainstream needs. Todyl has a similar vision by striving for simplicity and empowering ownership yet offers a modular and extendable platform with more capability. 

Clients save in two ways: cost to implement and cost to maintain.

• BUSINESS ALLIGNMENT - Every security program must align to the business context, risks, and governance structure of the organization. Todyl offers a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) module to address this need.

• SECURITY OPERATIONS - Business context and operational context are two entirely different things. Todyl offers three modules to bolster the manageability of Security Operations. Its Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) ingests data from across the IT environment, normalizing, aggregating, and displaying it in one pane of glass for security teams to gain insights into activities. Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) streamlines response processes and create repeatable playbooks for dealing with potential threats and protecting their organization. Last, clients have the option to add Managed eXtended Detection and Response to get 24x7 management of some or all of their devices.

• INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY - Infrastructure Security detects and responds to threats to the Endpoint and Network. Todyl offers Endpoint Security through a single Endpoint Detection and Response / Next-Generation Anti-Virus agent. Network access/filtering often comes up short, allowing threats to the ‘crown jewels’. Totyl offers Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) to bolster this Network Security weakness.

• FINAL THOUGHTS - In the assessment of the author, Todyl’s single platform has significant coverage within the Cybersecurity Ecosystem. It provides Endpoint and Network Security; Governance, Risk, and Compliance; Monitoring and Operations; and Managed Services. Todyl provides a newfound option for SMB and Mid-Cap organizations, and return-on-investment option to all clients regardless of size.
