What is managed detection and response?
Managed Detection and Response otherwise referred to as MDR is a cybersecurity service that combines technology with human expertise to rapidly identify and limit the impact of threats. Our managed detection and response service will enhance your security by combining technology, expert analysis and rapid response to effectively mitigate cyber threats.
Efficiently identify and
mitigate cyber threats
Our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service provides businesses with a proactive approach to cybersecurity.
For organisations struggling with limited in-house security expertise, overburdened IT teams or the challenge of keeping up with new and emerging threats, MDR ensures potential breaches are detected and neutralised before they can cause significant damage by utilising advanced tools and expert support.
With MDR, businesses can reduce risk, minimise downtime and focus on their core operations with confidence. MDR closes the gap between complex cybersecurity needs and the resources required to manage them.

How does managed detection and response work?
In contrast to traditional managed security services, MDR adopts a more proactive stance by actively seeking out hidden threats and facilitating rapid incident response. Managed detection and response (MDR) operates through key steps:
01
Monitoring and reporting
24/7 oversight of networks, endpoints, and cloud environments to identify threats
02
Threat detection
and triage
Utilises AI driven analytics and human expertise to filter alerts and distinguish genuine threats
03
Threat scanning
and investigation
Proactively uncovers hidden threats and assesses their nature and impact
04
Guided response
and remediation
