On pricing
We do not publish managed security pricing, because it is driven by the size of your estate, the telemetry sources in scope, and the response authority you want us to hold. We will give you a number after a scoping call rather than a range now that turns out to be wrong for you. Our training prices, which do not vary, are published in full.
