The article discussed the growth of Entara's service offerings since its inception in 2001, including their evolution to an eXtended Service Provider (XSP). Further, it described Entara’s commitment to its incident response practice and the lessons that the team has learned from performing thousands of hours of remediation work every week. According to Brunetti, “In 2020, Entara worked on its first incident response project. This was a turning point for our organization as we learned more about the root causes of cyberattacks and correlating best practices to avoid being a target of one of these attacks.”

The article concludes with a focus on the importance of collaborative partnerships between service providers and their clients and how, as an XSP, Entara can be a single, comprehensive partner for its clients.
