The problem

Every organization has security tools.Very few have a security program.
The tools are already in place. What is missing is the operating model that turns them into coverage, response, and evidence.
SYMPTOM 01Alert fatigueThousands of alerts, no one to triage them.
SYMPTOM 02Tool sprawlSix consoles, none operated end to end.
SYMPTOM 03Staffing shortagesOne admin, long hiring cycles, no bench.
SYMPTOM 04Compliance burdenEvidence assembled in a scramble before audits.
SYMPTOM 05No 24x7 coverageAttackers work nights. Monitoring does not.
SYMPTOM 06Limited visibilityNo clear view of exposure or real risk.
SYMPTOM 07Slow responseDwell time measured in days, not minutes.
SYMPTOM 08Rising costSpend goes up every year. So does risk.
Rising risk despite increased spending.

Our operating model

Continuous Threat Exposure Management. One cycle that never stops.

CTEM is the model Gartner recommends, and the one we run. Five stages, continuously, guided by a dedicated Cyber Maturity Advisor. Select a stage to see what it covers and the Blue Mantis services that deliver it.

Aligned to Gartner's CTEM framework

Stage 1 of 5 · CTEM

Scoping

Identify the assets and attack surface that matter to the business, and set the metrics we measure against. Scoping pulls in IT, GRC, legal, and business owners so the program protects what actually matters.
Takes inBusiness priorities, risk appetite, and critical assets.
Hands offA scoped, prioritized attack surface to Discovery.

Stage 2 of 5 · CTEM

Discovery

Find the vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identity risks, and attack paths across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid, then translate raw exposures into real risk.
Takes inThe scoped attack surface from Scoping.
Hands offA full exposure inventory to Prioritization.

Stage 3 of 5 · CTEM

Prioritization

Rank exposures by exploitability and business impact, not raw CVE counts, so remediation targets the greatest real risk to critical assets first.
Takes inThe exposure inventory from Discovery.
Hands offA ranked, risk-based list to Validation.
What Blue Mantis delivers

Managed GRC

Stage 4 of 5 · CTEM

Validation

Confirm what an attacker could actually exploit through penetration testing and attack simulation, and find the root cause so the fix holds.
Takes inThe ranked risk list from Prioritization.
Hands offValidated, proven risks to Mobilization.

The advisor at the center

The Cyber Maturity Advisor

A dedicated Cyber Maturity Advisor (CMA) guides every stage of the cycle, aligns the program to your risk appetite, and reports progress to leadership in plain business terms. The CMA is how CTEM stays a program that keeps reducing risk, not a one-time project.
What the CMA owns

Stakeholder-aligned scoping and roadmap
Risk-based prioritization and governance
Executive reporting on MTTD, MTTR, and maturity
One accountable owner across all five stages

Coverage clock

Attackers do not keep your hours.

The grid shows all 168 hours of the week. Pick who is watching and see which hours are exposed.
Who is watching your environment?

Anything outside the highlighted hours is time when an alert can fire and no one is looking at it.Every hour is watched, correlated, and hunted by the Mantis Protect SOC. Nothing waits for Monday morning.

From alerts to action

What happens at each step, and what lands on your desk.

Most security products generate alerts. Mantis Protect prioritizes, investigates, validates, and responds. Volumes are illustrative of a typical week.
Step 1

168Hours per week covered from day one

Activation and coverage mapping

We inventory your environment and tools, map coverage, and close the gaps. No rip-and-replace.
HandoffCoverage map and program baseline
Step 2

18,400Raw alerts ingested per week

Detection and threat hunting

24x7 SOC monitors, correlates, and hunts. AI triage closes known noise before a human sees it.
HandoffPrioritized, validated detections
Step 3

212Analyst investigations per week

Investigation and response

Analysts confirm, contain, and document. Hunters chase what automation cannot.
HandoffContained incidents with documented actions
Step 4

6Escalated to your team per week

Reporting and compliance

Executive reporting in Mantis Vision. Audit evidence from the GRC program.
HandoffBoard visibility and audit evidence
Mantis Vision

See what the SOC sees, minus the noise it already closed.

Mantis Vision is the live window into your program. Alerts come in, noise goes out, incidents get validated, and audit evidence builds in the background. It is built for whoever gets asked “are we covered?” with no notice.
Illustration: a simulated Mantis Vision view. Alerts arrive, low-severity noise is closed by AI triage, analysts review the rest, and only validated incidents are escalated to your team.
Right now

The 2 a.m. question

Is something happening? Watch alerts arrive, see what AI triage closed, what an analyst is working, and what was escalated and why.

Audit season

The evidence request

Control status and audit readiness against NIST CSF 2.0, HIPAA, or PCI DSS, current because the program keeps it current.
Everything else

The tools outside the program

Bring in the tools you run outside Mantis Protect so leadership sees the full picture, not only our part of it.

Scope

Typical vendor

Stops at MDR

Detection and response, then a handoff back to your team for everything else.
Mantis Protect

Extends beyond detection

MDR, threat hunting, vulnerability management, dark web monitoring, GRC services, and advisory support in one engagement.

Workload

Typical vendor

Generates more work

More tickets, more portals, more alerts routed back to the people who were already overloaded.
Mantis Protect

Reduces operational burden

The goal is not more tickets. The goal is less business risk with simpler security operations.

Stack

Typical vendor

Requires rip-and-replace

A new platform, a migration project, and sunk cost on tools you already licensed.
Mantis Protect

Works with existing investments

Keep the tools that work. We operationalize them through centralized visibility and expertise.

Ownership

Typical vendor

Sells you a product

You own the configuration, the tuning, the staffing, and the outcome.
Mantis Protect

Operates your program

One accountable owner for people, process, technology, and compliance, end to end.

By role

Built for organizations of 250 to 5,000 employees that have outgrown one security admin.

Business outcome: reduce risk while improving operational efficiency

Gain visibility, governance, and cybersecurity maturity without building a large internal security organization.

You are accountable for risk posture and for what the board sees. Mantis Protect gives you one operating model, one owner, and executive reporting through Mantis Vision.
Program-level visibility, not tool dashboards
Governance and policy handled inside the program
Predictable spend that survives budget review
No security hiring plan required to reach 24x7
Business outcome: improve protection and accelerate response

Extend your security program with expert analysts, threat hunters, compliance specialists, and continuous operational support.

You keep strategy and ownership. We take the shifts, the triage, the hunts, the vulnerability queue, and the audit evidence. Your existing stack stays.
24x7 in-house SOC with threat hunting
Validated incidents, not alert forwarding
Vulnerability and exposure management included
Works with the tools you already run
Business outcome: control cybersecurity costs

Replace unpredictable staffing and tooling costs with a scalable, subscription-based cybersecurity operating model.

An internal SOC is $1M+ to build and around $2M a year to run, before turnover. Mantis Protect is a flat monthly cost scoped to the environment, with compliance included rather than billed separately.
One line item instead of headcount plus licensing
No capital build, no recruiting cost
Scales with the business, not with incidents
Audit readiness without a second program
Business outcome: reduce workload

Offload security monitoring, threat investigation, vulnerability management, and compliance activities so your team can focus on strategic priorities.

Your team stops being the SOC. Alerts are triaged before they reach you, vulnerabilities arrive as a ranked list, and only validated incidents need your action.
Escalations arrive with the investigation done
Ranked remediation list, not a raw scan export
No on-call rotation for security alerts
Coverage continues when someone is out

Questions security leaders ask

Frequently asked questions

Is Mantis Protect an MDR service?
MDR is one component. Mantis Protect is a managed cybersecurity program that includes MDR with threat hunting, vulnerability management, dark web monitoring, GRC services, executive reporting, and advisory support, delivered under one engagement with one accountable owner.
Is the SOC really 24x7 and in-house?
Yes. Coverage is delivered by the Blue Mantis global in-house SOC, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with analysts and threat hunters on staff rather than subcontracted.
Do we have to replace our current security tools?
No. Mantis Protect integrates with your existing security stack and operationalizes it. Where a gap exists, we recommend the smallest change that closes it.
How does the program support compliance?
GRC as a Service runs inside the program: risk assessments, policy governance, vendor risk management, and audit readiness aligned to NIST CSF 2.0, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. The same operation that delivers protection produces the evidence.
How is Mantis Protect priced?
As a predictable monthly subscription scoped to your environment and coverage needs. Pricing is confirmed after a short discovery conversation and coverage mapping.
Who is Mantis Protect designed for?
Organizations with roughly 250 to 5,000 employees that have security tools in place but lack the staffing, hours, or program structure to operate them fully. Common starting points are a single security admin, no SOC, or growing compliance obligations.
