Managed Detection and Response
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) security combines attack detection and threat hunting with aspects of incident response and remediation. Through MDR, our rapid response will minimize the impact of a compromise and get your business back to normal in a fraction of the time.
Enjoy the confidence of secure data with 24/7 security.
The threat landscape will always, and continually evolve, so should your cybersecurity footprint. You must always improve the way you detect and respond to threats, while continually monitoring your IT assets.
At Intersec Worldwide, we recognize that the most effective MDR services must include the variety of systems in your environment, and incorporate detection, remediation, and security operations planning. After all, what good are the responders if they can’t also help you remediate?
Managed Detection and Response Services
Network
Monitoring
Our security experts develop and deploy our custom remote network monitoring service with you so that you obtain an optimized technical security architecture while minimizing disruption.
DNS Monitoring
and Blocking
Our robust DNS monitoring uncovers any security incidents and can identify and block DNS attacks, bad URLs, and protect you against a user clicking on a link that launches an attack.
Endpoint Monitoring and Blocking
We provide a comprehensive view of your network’s endpoints, closely monitoring devices and implementing compliance and security control measures.
Email
Monitoring
Our email monitoring service continuously scans emails to detect threats and block email-based attacks.
What is Managed Detection and Response (MDR)?
MDR services provide organizations with a “done-for-you” solution to cybersecurity. This is essentially a “force multiplier” and takes the onus off internal teams to monitor and respond to threats and put the responsibility in the hands of experienced and reliable professionals. With a solid team behind you, your organization can have the peace of mind that attacks will be detected, investigated, and remediated as quickly as possible.
Features of Intersec Worldwide’s Managed Detection and Response Services
Log Management
We gather, sort, and store log data from all security sources and manage it in a centralized location that is continuously analyzed. The consolidated collection of logs means that we have all the necessary information readily available to track and review incidents, respond proactively, and implement changes to prevent future issues.
Automated Alerting
Systems are set up such that any incident occurring at any time will be detected by our team and acted upon right away. Our security experts are immediately deployed to review and classify the alert and take any necessary actions. Our enhanced security event detection enables us to discover malicious automation, detect vulnerability exploits, and track attacker activity or data exfiltration.
Threat Detection
Your covered digital ecosystem is continually analyzed to detect threats. In the event of an identified risk, and when needed, the incident response team is deployed to mitigate and neutralize the threat before it has the opportunity to exploit vulnerabilities and cause damage.
Threat Research
Incidents are immediately addressed by our response team, but our work doesn't stop there. We submit threat intelligence to our research team to determine if the threat landscape has been fully actualized. Our goal is to ensure that similar attacks are entirely blocked from the system in the future.
Behavior Analysis
Many attacks can be thwarted simply by learning common behaviors associated with specific incidents, such as increased data transfer or unusual timing of events. Our expert MDR providers use a combination of machine learning, analytics, and other specialized tools to map behaviors of malicious attacks, allowing us to spot trends and events and block attacks more proactively and efficiently.
Threat Hunting
Recognizing that some anomalous threats can evade detection by traditional systems, we use advanced tools to continuously dig deep below the surface. This practice hunts down threats that may be present in endpoints, networks, and datasets, and detects many suspicious or risky activities that other providers miss.
Host and Network Analysis
While many managed security systems focus on endpoints, this can leave significant blind spots. We do a deep dive into hosts and networks, capturing all traffic and performing a close inspection to determine the full landscape. Not only do we detect security issues but also operational issues that could have otherwise caused significant losses.
Incident Response
Our agile incident response team is always poised to spring into action, responding quickly to digital security incidents to minimize the impact on your organization. The team is ready to contain the crisis from the moment it starts, stopping the hemorrhaging of sensitive data, defeating the threat at its root issue, and keeping your business operating while you recover.
How Does Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Work?
Managed detection and response is an evolution to a changing cybersecurity posture. Aside from threat hunting, it also analyzes all of the indicators and other factors involved in an alert, and when needed, acts as your remediation arm mitigating the risks of similar future incidents.
Why Do Businesses Need MDR Services?
Protecting digital assets effectively and efficiently can be a huge undertaking, even for relatively small organizations. With the increasing number and complexity of threats, it can be an overwhelming task to try to mitigate all risks. Internal teams suffer from a lack of resources and expertise, while traditional managed security services tend to offer generic solutions that aren’t customized for individual businesses.
It’s no surprise then that Gartner predicts a sharp uptick in the use of managed detection and response services:
“By 2025, 50% of organizations will be using MDR services for threat monitoring, detection and response functions that offer threat containment capabilities."
The best managed detection and response providers are able to keep up with the dynamic security landscape and up to date with the latest threat intelligence. They have refined systems in place, negating the need for organizations to apply a haphazard approach to cybersecurity. Utilizing managed detection and response services will ensure your company proactively monitors threats, protects data, and remains compliant.
How to Choose an MDR Service Provider
With so many MDR providers claiming to offer the best services, it can be difficult to settle on the right solution. So how should you decide?
There are several key qualities you need to look for in an effective managed detection and response service provider, the most important being experience. As any industry veteran will tell you, it’s simply not possible to provide effective security solutions without significant time immersed in the world of security.
You also need to work with a cybersecurity company that has all of the tools and capabilities necessary to offer its stated services. Capatibiles in areas such as threat detection, remote incident response, automation, and threat intelligence are absolutely key.
Finally, you need to consider
the human factor.
All of the tools and automation in the world can’t replace a skilled team. Intersec’s experts come with the experience and expertise to know exactly what it takes to provide managed detection and response solutions that protect your business around the clock.
