About Critical Start
Critical Start was founded in 2012 with a focus on eliminating the trust deficit between MSSPs and their clients by providing full transparency into every alert decision made by their SOC analysts. Their Trusted Behavior Registry (TBR) methodology allows clients to define approved behaviors, reducing false positives and ensuring every alert that reaches the client represents a genuine threat. Their CORR platform integrates endpoint, network, cloud, and identity telemetry, delivering 24/7 MDR with full analyst decision transparency and detailed audit trails. Critical Start has been recognized in Gartner's Market Guide for MDR and was acquired by Lumifi Cyber in 2024, expanding their combined MDR capabilities. Their transparent operations model remains a key differentiator for security-conscious mid-market and enterprise organizations.
