MDR Integration With Your Existing Security Stack: How CybaVerse Fits Without the Rip-and-Replace

If you're running SentinelOne, a SIEM or a mix of endpoint and logging tools, the last thing you need is an MDR provider telling you to tear it all out and start again.

Most IT teams have spent years building their stack. Replacing it is expensive, disruptive and, frankly, unnecessary. The right MDR solution should slot in alongside what you already have, extend your visibility and give your team the coverage they couldn't manage alone.

77% of security leaders say integration with existing tools is now a primary buying criterion when evaluating MDR. The market has shifted. Rip-and-replace is no longer the expectation.

Here's how CybaOps integrates with your existing stack, what happens to your data and why the way we handle SIEM ingestion is different from most providers.

You Don't Need to Replace Your EDR

The first question most IT managers ask is: "Do we have to rip out SentinelOne?"

No. CybaOps is designed to work with your existing EDR, not against it. We ingest telemetry directly from SentinelOne and use it as a primary data source. Your endpoint coverage stays in place. We add the detection, triage and response layer on top.

This matters for a few reasons:

• No disruption to existing coverage: Your SentinelOne agents keep doing their job. We read from the data they generate.
• Fast onboarding. Immediate visibility: Rather than replacing your existing EDR, CybaOps connects directly to it. For SentinelOne customers, security data can begin flowing into the platform in as little as an hour, with organisations typically operational in a matter of hours.
• No duplicated endpoint spend: You're not paying for two endpoint tools doing the same job.
  

  67% of organisations adopting MDR in 2026 are doing so as an integration layer on top of existing EDR, not as a replacement. — Integrity360

  The integration model is straightforward: your existing tools continue to generate data. The data is ingested and enriched , giving your team a single data source to work from, with wider context of your security exposure.

   

How CybaOps Handles SIEM Data Differently

This is where CybaOps takes a different approach to most MDR providers, and it's worth understanding clearly.

Most traditional SIEMs charge based on data volume. Every log you ingest, store and process adds to the bill. For mid-market organisations, that cost can escalate fast. Industry analysis puts all-in SIEM costs at £280,000–£430,000+ annually when you factor in licensing, hosting and tuning. Running MDR on top of that pushes the combined cost into mid-six figures.

We approach SIEM differently depending on what you actually need it for.

Security SIEM: Precision Ingestion

When you're using SIEM for security operations, you don't need everything. Most of the data your tools generate is noise: routine system activity, duplicate events, low-priority logs that add storage cost without adding security value.

CybaVerse drops irrelevant data at the point of ingestion. We only take what's needed for security detection and response. This means:

• You're not paying to store data twice
• The signal-to-noise ratio inside CybaOps stays high
• Response is faster because analysts aren't wading through irrelevant events

This is one of the reasons CybaOps is cost-effective enough that running it alongside an existing SIEM is genuinely viable for SMEs, not just large enterprises.

Compliance SIEM: Full Retention, Single View

If your requirement is compliance, the calculus is different. Regulations like ISO 27001, PCI DSS and others require full log retention across defined periods. Dropping data isn't an option.

In this mode, CybaOps ingests everything and stores it for as long as you require. The advantage here is breadth: we can take logs from any source, which means your compliance data sits in one place rather than being fragmented across tools that each have their own ingestion limits.

Most legacy SIEMs are constrained in what they can ingest. If a log source isn't on their supported list, it doesn't come in. That creates gaps in your compliance picture. CybaOps removes that constraint, giving you a genuinely complete log estate in one view.

The practical outcome: whether your priority is security operations, compliance or both, CybaOps handles the data model to match. You're not forced into a one-size approach that costs more than it should.

What the Integration Process Actually Looks Like

One of the most common concerns IT teams raise is how disruptive onboarding will be. The honest answer: less than you'd expect.

CybaOps integration follows a structured process, but it's built around your existing environment, not the other way around.

Step 1: Stack Discovery

Before anything is connected, we map what you're running. Which EDR, which log sources, what SIEM if any, cloud platforms, identity tools. This gives us a clear picture of your data estate and where the coverage gaps are.

Step 2: Ingestion Configuration

Following a simple credential exchange to authorise the connection, we configure data ingestion into CybaOps. For SentinelOne, we set up the telemetry feed, apply the appropriate SIEM mode (Security or Compliance), and verify that data is being received and processed correctly.

Step 3: Detection Tuning

Once data is flowing, we tune detection rules to your environment. This reduces false positives from day one and means your team isn't immediately flooded with alerts that don't apply to you. Alert fatigue affects 65% of SME security teams — tuning from the outset is how we avoid contributing to it.

Step 4: Operational Handover

Your team gets access to the CybaOps dashboard. From here, you have a single view across all connected tools: endpoint telemetry, log data, alerts, investigations and response actions. Our analysts are running 24/7 in the background. You see what they see.

The whole process is designed to get you to operational coverage quickly, without requiring internal resource to manage a complex migration.

The Single Pane of Glass: What It Means in Practice

The phrase "single pane of glass" gets used a lot in Cyber Security. In practice, most tools don't deliver it. You end up with five dashboards, three alerting systems and no clear picture of what's actually happening across your environment.

CybaOps is built differently. Because we ingest from your existing tools rather than replacing them, all of that telemetry flows into one operational view. Endpoint data from SentinelOne, log data from your SIEM, cloud events, identity alerts: everything is correlated in one place.

For an IT Manager without a dedicated security team, this changes the operational picture significantly:

• You see one alert stream, not five separate ones
• Investigations are pre-correlated: when something triggers, the context is already there
• Response actions are centralised: your team and our analysts work from the same dashboard
• Reporting is unified: compliance evidence, security posture and incident history in one export

Mid-market teams typically manage between five and eight separate security tools, and spend 30–40% of their time just managing integrations and tool overhead rather than acting on threats. CybaOps removes that overhead without removing the tools that generate the data.

The result is a team that spends more time on decisions and less time on administration.
