Managed Extended Detect and Respond

Microsoft Sentinel, in co-operation with the XDR solutions Microsoft 365 Defender and Defender for Cloud, helps simplify and strengthen enterprise security operations by collecting security data across the entire hybrid enterprise – including users, devices, applications and infrastructure deployed on-premises and in the cloud – and using built-in artificial intelligence to quickly and accurately identify security threats. 

An effective MXDR partner should have the capability to detect incidents at its heart, investigate them in order to decide on an appropriate course of action, and act upon that. It should strive to identify indications of an attack at the earliest possible stage (moving from detect to predict), in order to maximize the opportunity of mitigating the threat before it effectuates and impacts the business. To this end, an effective SOC should be able to understand threats, the cyber terrain as well as the business in which it is actively operating.

What to expect from a good MXDR partner?

1. Modernized
   Covering your entire organization, following a cloud native consistent approach, to ensure you avoid blind spots based on broad industry standards.
2. Threat-led
   Enabling effective detection capability for threats applicable to your organization, leveraging threat intelligence sources to determine your priorities and decide how you should respond.
3. Integrated and holistic
   Enabling overall solution and business integration, integrating cyber detection and response capabilities and identifying synergies where appropriate.
4. Agile and scalable
   Being able to adapt and respond to the ongoing organizational changes and rapid shift in your attack surface based on automated Microsoft and Nedscaper capabilities.
5. Automated
   Leveraging SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) tooling to accelerate response, increase productivity and allow your team to focus their attention where it really matters.
6. Intelligent
   Using a cloud native architecture, flexible and adaptive analytical tooling to allow you to make effective, fast decisions based on real-time insights. Signal sharing natively and on-the-spot instead of customizing point solutions as a whole.
