Managed Detection and Response

Detection that ends in response.

24/7 monitoring across endpoints, email, collaboration, cloud, and SaaS apps. The same engineers who tune detections validate alerts, coordinate containment, and execute response actions where access allows.

What this covers

The monitoring layer of Security Overview.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is how we watch your environment around the clock, determine which signals are real, and take immediate action. Detection and response are handled by a single team with zero handoffs.

Coverage spans endpoints, email, business collaboration, cloud, and Software as a Service (SaaS) apps. Every detection feeds a single incident response workflow, so when something happens in one place that connects to activity somewhere else, we see it as one centralized event rather than five.

What's monitored

Five coverage areas. One investigation.

Each coverage area is monitored on the platform built for it. Events that span coverage areas show up as one investigation, not five.

Endpoints

Monitoring and response across managed Windows, macOS, and Linux workstations, powered by CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). Detections cover malware, lateral movement, suspicious script execution, and endpoint credential theft.

Email

Monitoring for inbound and outbound mail in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, using Check Point Email & Collaboration Security. Detections cover phishing, business email compromise, malicious attachments, and suspicious URLs.

Business Collaboration

Monitoring of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace audit logs, including identity events, mailbox rules and forwarding, file-sharing activity, OAuth app grants, and admin actions. Detections cover account compromise, suspicious mailbox changes, OAuth abuse, and admin privilege escalation.

Cloud

Monitoring of Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) activity through native audit and security event sources. Detections cover credential abuse, exposed resources, suspicious API usage, privilege escalation, and configuration drift.

SaaS Apps

Monitoring for supported business SaaS apps outside the collaboration suite, including Slack, GitHub, 1Password, Atlassian, HubSpot, and others. Detections cover account compromise, suspicious admin actions, OAuth abuse, and unusual data export patterns.

Response model

Two response shapes. Same team either way.

The right shape depends on where the admin rights sit in your environment. We confirm the right model during discovery based on access, tooling, and your internal response process.

Delegated admin

We execute response.

When we administer a covered system, we have the access needed to contain incidents directly. Suspected account compromise gets a forced session revocation; malware on a workstation gets isolated from the network. The detection engineer validates the alert and runs the response playbook on the same shift.

Client-held admin

We coordinate response.

When admin stays with your team, we direct your team through containment. We provide concrete actions, validate they happen, and keep the response moving until containment is complete. Either way, the same engineers who tuned the detection coordinate the response. No handoff between a detection team and a response team.

What we deliver

Coverage, response, reporting, and tuning.

  • Detection, triage, and response across your selected coverage areas, 24/7.
  • Events connected across coverage areas are handled as one investigation, not five separate alerts.
  • Post-incident reports for critical and high-priority incidents, including the timeline, actions taken, findings, and follow-up recommendations.
  • Ongoing exception review, suppression review, detection tuning, and policy review.
  • Monthly reporting on incident activity, tuning changes, and coverage trends, plus quarterly business reviews.
Frequently asked

Common questions about
Managed Detection & Response.

How are incidents prioritized?
Alerts start with an initial priority based on the signal. After investigation, confirmed incidents are prioritized by actual impact: active compromise, affected systems or identities, blast radius, data exposure risk, and operational disruption. Critical incidents trigger immediate containment and stakeholder notification. High-priority incidents receive urgent response when confirmed malicious activity has meaningful blast radius. Lower-priority incidents are handled with response actions based on confirmed impact. Critical and high-priority incidents include a post-incident report.
Can MDR work alongside our existing IT or security team?
Yes. We support both response models. When we administer a covered system, we can execute containment directly. When admin access stays with your team, we provide concrete containment steps, validate the actions taken, and keep the response moving until containment is complete. In both models, the engineers tuning the detections coordinate the response.
How is MDR coverage defined, and can it grow with us?
Coverage is selected from five areas: endpoints, email, business collaboration, cloud, and Software as a Service (SaaS) apps. Most clients start with the areas already in play and expand coverage as the environment changes. Quarterly business reviews are where we review coverage, service activity, and recommended coverage changes.
What do you need from us to start monitoring?
We confirm the selected coverage areas, required admin or read-only access, alert routing, stakeholder contacts, and response authority during onboarding. From there, we connect the covered systems, validate telemetry, tune initial detections, and document how incidents should be escalated.
What is handled separately?
Baseline hardening, endpoint management, collaboration administration, cloud configuration remediation, unsupported SaaS apps, and remediation work outside the agreed access or response authority are handled through other Security Overview services or a separate engagement. MDR focuses on monitoring, triage, response coordination, approved containment actions, tuning, and incident reporting for the covered systems.
How is MDR different from using an EDR internally?
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a platform that generates endpoint alerts. MDR is the operating model around it: engineers triage the alert, decide whether it is real, contain the threat, and tune the detection afterward. Instead of relying on your team to monitor the dashboard after hours, MDR keeps an engineer in the loop around the clock.
