Verdant TCS is a Managed Service Provider (MSP) and MSSP founded by Mike Shollack, focusing on multi-layer security and proactive monitoring for its clients. According to CISO Sandip Patel, Lumu serves as the central component of their cybersecurity offering by collecting data, reporting threats, and taking automated action. Verdant built an integration layer around Lumu to gain a complete, 360-degree view of their customers’ exposure, allowing them to provide enterprise-grade security tools at a lower cost while maintaining constant vigilance over network activity.
The system’s automated blocking works within milliseconds, which proved critical when defending a medical facility client from a ransomware payload by instantly containing the compromised device. Furthermore, Lumu features a “Discover” component that provides an external perspective on vulnerabilities and open ports, aiding in SOC 2 compliance and forensic investigations going back up to two years. This automation and deep visibility free up Verdant to focus on consulting and growing their clients’ businesses instead of solely managing the technology stack.
