What is Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR)?

Keep your organisation safe 24×7. 

Managed Extended Detection and Response is multi-layered protection service that can detect and respond automatically to a threat before it becomes a breach. A fully managed security solution, managed XDR provides comprehensive protection across multiple platforms and endpoints that find, detect and responds to cybersecurity threats as they emerge.

Combining both human specialists and automated digital tools, MXDR is an end-to-end, single-provider service that offers unparallelled vigilance and protection for your organisation, ensuring airtight Detect and Response capabilities for your cybersecurity posture.

The Difference Between MDR and MXDR

MDR and MXDR differ in the end-points and attack surfaces they cover. While both are multi-layered, managed protection services, MXDR covers both physical end-points as well as hybrid and cloud surfaces to offer more comprehensive protection.

Your Business Challenges

When your users are distributed outside your office, your organisation’s exposure to data breach increases. Our MXDR solution provides comprehensive coverage across all corporate devices and platforms within and outside your physical perimeter, keeping your business safe in the face of scaling threats and challenges.

Larger Attack Surface

A larger attack surface as your users are accessing more public cloud-based services from beyond your corporate perimeter.

Non-Managed Corporate Devices

Non-managed corporate devices reduce cyber security best practices.

Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Infrastructures

The use of multiple cloud platforms and legacy on-premises solutions broadens the attack surface further, and gaining the ability to provide security detection and response across multiple platforms is challenging.

Increased Targeting

Increased targeting from highly motivated and increasingly sophisticated hackers bypassing traditional antivirus software, stealing and misusing credentials, and launching targeted attacks and exploits.

Frequently Asked Questions - Managed Extended Detection and Response

MXDR stands for Managed Extended Detection and Response. The solution covers all facets of cybersecurity protection, both detecting threats as they emerge and responding to them with the appropriate resources when the threats do emerge.

While Managed Extended Detection and Response focuses on providing a front foot, comprehensive approach across a number of platforms and endpoints through the use of automated tools with manual oversight and expertise to validate and respond to threats when appropriate. SIEM, on the other hand, is built around manual analysis of data and security logs to identify potential threats.

As a solution that handles the detection of threats and responding to them, MXDR provides a crucial resource for both the Detect and Response phases of an organisation’s cybersecurity posture.
