What is MDR?
Our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service monitors businesses remotely and focuses on responding to threats when we find someone in the network doing something they shouldn’t.
Experienced attackers will always find a way into a system. To catch them you have to monitor systems actively.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a comprehensive cybersecurity service that combines cutting-edge technology with human expertise to detect, investigate, and respond to threats across your entire IT environment—not just endpoints.
Unlike traditional EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), MDR provides continuous monitoring, proactive threat hunting, and rapid incident response to minimize risk and reduce dwell time.
Key Features of Our MDR Service
- Continuous Monitoring: Real-time visibility across your entire environment. Continuous surveillance of your IT environment to detect suspicious activity before it becomes a serious issue.
- Reduced Business Risk: Helps protect sensitive data, maintain customer trust, and avoid costly breaches or regulatory penalties.
- Clear Reporting and Insights: Regular updates and reports help you understand your security posture and make informed decisions.
- Advanced Threat Detection: Uses cutting-edge tools and techniques to spot sophisticated cyberattacks that traditional security might miss.
- Threat Intelligence: Integration with global threat feeds for faster detection.
- Rapid Response: Immediate containment and remediation of threats. Security experts act quickly to contain and neutralize threats, minimizing damage and downtime.
- Forensic Analysis: Root cause investigation and detailed reporting. Skilled analysts investigate alerts to determine if they’re real threats, so you don’t waste time on false alarms.
- Compliance Support: Audit-ready documentation for regulatory requirements.
