Traditional IT security tools like antivirus and firewall focus on prevention – in other words, trying to stop cybercriminals from breaking down your front door.
And while these still play an important role today, hackers are finding new and innovative ways to bypass these systems and infiltrate networks
So what happens when a hacker slips through the cracks undetected? How long will they spend dwelling in your environment?? What sensitive information will they capture? And at what point will they deploy ransomware and fully encrypt your systems?
To protect our clients from these evolving threats, we offer a managed detection and response (MDR) solution as part of our security service, operated by our human-led security operations centre (SOC). This added layer of protection is designed specifically to look for these hidden threats and “quiet” indicators of compromise that other tools miss.
Think of it as a safety net or the backup cord on a parachute; if your primary defences fail, MDR provides active threat hunting that can be the difference between a quick recovery or a major incident.
Our human-led Security Operations Centre (SOC) is a centralised unit that deals with security issues on an organisational and technical level. Unlike automated or AI-driven SOCs, our human-led SOC is staffed by skilled security analysts and experts who monitor and respond to security incidents in real-time using a combination of advanced tools and their expertise to identify, analyse, and mitigate potential threats, ensuring the cybersecurity of your organisation’s infrastructure.
The human element in a SOC brings a level of intuition and adaptability that automated systems often lack. Security analysts can interpret complex data, recognise patterns, and make nuanced decisions that enhance the effectiveness of incident response. They are also capable of continuously learning and adapting to emerging threats, something that purely automated systems struggle to achieve.
How MDR Works
Collect
Our software collects data from your desktops, laptops and servers and sends it up to a cloud-based engine for automated review. This process is invisible to users.
Analyse
Once captured, our threat operations team manually reviews suspicious and potentially malicious activity to eliminate false positives and identify real threats to your network.
Remediate
If an active threat is present, our team will isolate and remediate any infected machines. We’ll also provide you with easy-to-follow instructions if additional work is required or if we need to coordinate with you directly.
