Platform-led MDR — sells GreyMatter (a security-operations SaaS layer) plus the managed service, one foot in product and one in services. KKR-backed with a roll-up posture. The teardown question: does the platform genuinely differentiate, or is this an MSSP wearing a product badge to earn a software multiple?
