What is Red Canary (a Zscaler company)?
Red Canary delivers managed detection and response built on detection engineering rigor and broad telemetry ingestion (Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Palo Alto, Zscaler, AWS, Google Cloud, 200+ tools). It is widely regarded as a reference partner for organisations standardising on Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Sentinel. Zscaler closed the $692M acquisition on August 1, 2025; Red Canary operates as a separate business unit within Zscaler.
- ✓ Reputation as one of the strongest MDR partners for Microsoft-centric security stacks
- ✓ Industry-recognised detection engineering and public threat research (annual Threat Detection Report)
- ✓ Vendor-broad integrations — does not require ripping out incumbent EDR
- ✓ Strong public research output keeps customer detections current
- • Future roadmap will be shaped by Zscaler's strategy; long-term independence uncertain
- • Premium positioning; not the cheapest option in mid-market deals
- • Limited public pricing
