Outsourced security service providing 24/7 threat monitoring, detection, and human-led response.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) combines advanced security technology with a team of human analysts who monitor your environment around the clock. When threats are detected, MDR analysts investigate, determine severity, and take action—isolating compromised devices, blocking malicious connections, or escalating to your team. Unlike traditional managed security services that simply forward alerts, MDR providers actively respond to threats on your behalf. This provides enterprise-grade security operations without building an internal Security Operations Centre.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
Most SMEs can't afford a 24/7 security team. MDR gives you expert eyes on your systems at all hours, including weekends and holidays when attacks often occur. It's become essential for organisations that need to demonstrate robust security monitoring to customers or insurers.
