Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

Security Tools Need Security People

EDR and other tools generate alerts. Someone has to decide which ones are real and act fast. Managed detection and response (MDR) provides that: trained analysts who investigate threats and contain them, around the clock.

How MDR Works

  • 24/7 threat monitoring across endpoints, Microsoft 365 identities and email
  • Investigation of suspicious activity to separate real threats from noise
  • Containment: isolating devices, disabling compromised accounts, blocking malicious activity
  • Guidance and remediation with clear reports of what happened and what was done
  • Threat hunting for signs of attackers already inside

Why Small and Mid-Sized Businesses Need It

Attacks often start at night or on weekends, when nobody is watching. MDR means a compromised account or ransomware attempt is stopped in minutes, not discovered days later.
