Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

Delivered by a vetted partner, overseen by CISO Consulting

Detection that ends in action: threats found, contained and explained.

Analysts detect threats across endpoints, network and cloud, then investigate and contain them with your authorization, so an alert becomes a closed case, not a ticket.

Alerts alone do not stop an attacker. MDR adds investigation and response: confirmed threats are contained on your behalf within the limits you set, and each case is explained in plain language.

You decide how far response can go, from recommendations only to automatic containment of defined cases. Every action is logged and reviewed with you.

Why it matters

Threat investigation, not just alert forwarding
Containment actions within limits you authorize
Case write-ups with root cause and next steps
Detection tuned to your environment and threats
Direct line to an analyst during an incident

Who delivers each serviceSome managed services are delivered by a vetted delivery partner rather than by CISO Consulting's own team. Each service states who delivers it, and the proposal confirms the delivering party and the contract before you commit. Explore managed security

Questions

Can you act without asking us first?
Only for the actions you pre-authorize in the response matrix. Everything else is recommended and waits for your approval.
Which tools do you work with?
The service is tool-aware, not tool-bound. We confirm supported platforms during scoping.
