CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Enterprise and mid-market teams running investigations into financial crime, supply chain threats, or state-sponsored activity need Silo Workspace because its 700+ global proxy endpoints let you mask attribution while collecting forensic evidence from hostile infrastructure without exposing your own network. The managed attribution network across 32 countries plus encrypted chain-of-custody storage directly addresses NIST DE.CM and RS.AN requirements that most browsers can't touch. Skip this if your investigators work mostly on domestic, low-risk research; the tradecraft training and dark web capability are overkill for routine threat intelligence gathering.
MSPs protecting SMB and mid-market clients need DefensX primarily for its browser isolation that doesn't require endpoint agents, letting you secure legacy Windows systems and BYOD devices without deployment friction. The platform covers four NIST CSF 2.0 functions (Platform Security, Data Security, Identity Management, and Continuous Monitoring), which is uncommon for browser isolation tools that typically excel only at perimeter defense. Skip this if you're an enterprise buyer expecting advanced threat hunting or post-compromise investigation; DefensX prioritizes blocking over forensics and lacks the depth of a full EDR layer.
