We deploy highly certified security analysts in your environment to detect, analyse, and actively respond to threats across technologies.
The Importance of a Managed Detection and Response Service
Organisations experiencing rapid growth can often find their ability to detect and respond to security events lags behind the rest of their cyber security capabilities.
- Maintaining Key Visibility: As new technologies and processes are introduced to modernise their operations, it is harder for them to maintain complete visibility across all their environments and otherwise mature their security posture. This is especially true for organisations that are dependent on operational technology (OT) or are in the process of completing digitalisation projects.
- Addressing Security Gaps in IT-OT Convergence and Cloud Migration The convergence of IT and OT, and increasing cloud migration, creates unique security requirements that most organisations can't address with the resources and expertise they have available. With regulatory requirements also evolving, many organisations find themselves unclear on how to mature their capabilities quickly and in line with best practice.

Managed Detection & Response FAQ's
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) focuses on monitoring and managing endpoint devices (like laptops, tablets and other devices connected to the internet) to detect and respond to security threats in real time. Managed Detection and Response (MDR), however, involves outsourcing this process to cyber security experts that offer 24/7 monitoring and threat response. In short, EDR is software-based, and MDR is service-based.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a cyber security service that offers continuous monitoring, threat detection and incident response. MDR teams analyse security alerts 24/7, investigating potential threats and responding to incidents. They leverage advanced technologies and threat intelligence, helping companies maintain a robust security posture and quickly address any emerging threats.
MDR and SOC are distinct but related cyber security functions. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a cyber security service that is focused on continuous and immediate threat detection and response, often provided by a third-party organisation. A Security Operations Centre (SOC) refers to an in-house team or facility dedicated to monitoring, detecting and responding to security incidents. MDR is a service that involves detecting and respond to threats - a SOC is the team delivering that service.
MDR can be considered a service that complements the functions of an SOC. While an SOC focuses on monitoring and managing an organisation’s cyber security, MDR is a specialised service that provides outsourced detection and response capabilities. This enhances the overall effectiveness of security operations.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) does not replace Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). Instead, MDR can complement SIEM by providing proactive threat detection and response services. While SIEM aggregates and analyses security data, MDR offers expertise and real-time response capabilities.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) includes both incident response and alerting. While it provides real-time alerts on potential threats, MDR services also involve active threat investigation, containment, and remediation by security experts. This comprehensive approach makes sure organisations not only receive alerts but also have support in responding to incidents effectively.
