FAQ

No. Fryqua is not an MDR (Managed Detection and Response), EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), or XDR (Extended Detection and Response) solution, but complements another essential aspect of your security strategy.

MDR is a service-oriented solution where an external team is responsible for monitoring and responding to cyber threats.

EDR focuses on protecting endpoints, such as laptops and servers, by detecting and responding to attacks targeting those devices.

XDR is a more comprehensive solution that integrates security data from multiple sources (such as endpoints, networks, and cloud environments) for correlated threat detection.

Fryqua, on the other hand, focuses on monitoring data activities, offering deep insights into who has access to sensitive data, what happens to that data, and how it is being used. Our goal is to help organizations with access management and compliance requirements (such as GDPR, NIS2), by proactively detecting suspicious behavior around data usage and enabling early intervention.

No, Fryqua is not a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solution. Instead, we focus on another essential aspect of your security strategy.

A SIEM is designed to collect, analyze, and correlate log files and events from various systems to detect cyber threats. It helps security teams monitor network and system activities and respond to threats by generating real-time alerts.

Fryqua, on the other hand, focuses on monitoring data activities and access management. We provide insights into who has access to your sensitive data, how that data is being used, and whether that usage complies with regulations such as GDPR and NIS2. Rather than monitoring network or system events, we focus on what happens with the data itself, detecting unauthorized access or suspicious patterns in data usage in real time.

In short, while a SIEM helps detect threats at the system level, Fryqua offers deeper control over data activities and access. Together, these solutions form a layered security approach, with SIEM addressing external threats and Fryqua ensuring protection and compliance within your organization.

The benefits of Fryqua compared to MDR, EDR, XDR, and SIEM are primarily focused on monitoring data activities, access management, and compliance, while the other solutions are more focused on threat detection and response at the system level. Here are Fryqua’s key advantages:

* Provides deep insights into who has access to sensitive data and what is happening with it. This level of detail is often missing in MDR, EDR, XDR, and SIEM solutions, which are more focused on securing endpoints, networks, and systems.

* Sends real-time alerts for unauthorized access and suspicious data usage patterns, particularly within the organization. This helps prevent internal data leaks, whereas most MDR, EDR, and SIEM solutions focus on external threats.

* Offers automated compliance support, with detailed audit trails and reporting to meet regulations such as GDPR, IBP FO, and NIS2. Other solutions focus less on compliance at the level of data activities and access management.

* Detects and prevents internal threats, such as unauthorized data usage by employees an aspect often overlooked by traditional MDR, EDR, and XDR solutions, which are primarily focused on external threats.

Here’s how Fryqua further strengthens the security provided by MDR, EDR, XDR, and SIEM:

1. Complementing MDR (Managed Detection and Response):
MDR services focus on externally managing and responding to threats in your network and endpoints. Fryqua complements this by taking a deep dive into internal data activities and access management. While MDR monitors external threats, Fryqua ensures you know who within your organization has access to sensitive data and helps prevent internal data leaks and misuse.

2. Complementing EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response):
EDR focuses on protecting endpoints such as laptops and servers against threats like malware and ransomware. Fryqua goes further by monitoring data activities at the file level. This means that in addition to device protection, you also gain visibility into who is accessing, editing, or sharing sensitive data, helping to manage both internal and external risks.

3. Complementing XDR (Extended Detection and Response):
XDR combines threat detection across endpoints, networks, and cloud services to provide a broader view of security risks. Fryqua enhances XDR by offering in-depth control over data activity and access patterns within the organization. While XDR correlates external attacks, Fryqua ensures visibility into how your sensitive data is used internally and where potential risks lie.

4. Complementing SIEM (Security Information and Event Management): SIEM collects and correlates logs from systems and networks to detect threat patterns. Fryqua adds specific access management and compliance monitoring by providing insights into who has access to what data, along with detailed audit trails and compliance reports. Fryqua simplifies compliance with regulations such as GDPR and NIS2, while SIEM focuses on broader threat detection.

No. Fryqua is not a SaaS solution. We deploy our tool on your dedicated server, which is fully managed by your IT team or IT supplier. We cannot access this system or data without your permission, even if we need to update Fryqua.

No. Our solution is designed to seamlessly integrate with your current infrastructure. Typically, we can go live within a day, but the timeline may vary depending on defining rules, connecting network components, and coordinating with your IT provider. All we require is a dedicated server to collect data from the sources you wish to monitor for risk, and the deployment of our agents on your computers and servers.

No. Our customers are the owners responsible for the data they create and store on a dedicated Fryqua server. We provide the tools and support to improve their security landscape.

No. We do not have access to our customers' data. All data is stored on a dedicated server either at the customer's location or with their preferred provider.

Yes. We understand that organizations may undergo changes like mergers or reorganizations. That's why our customers can reduce the number of computer users by up to 10% during their license term, and the license fee will be adjusted accordingly. Furthermore, they can always increase the number of computer users with no maximum limit, and the license fee will remain the same throughout the term.

Yes. We acknowledge that budgeting for security challenges can be tough. We often provide discounts to new customers to help them experience the added value we bring to their security environment. Existing customers can also receive discounts by extending their license terms for a longer period.

Yes. We offer a partner and referral program. Please get in touch with us for more details.
