Managed Cybersecurity Detection and Response Tool

An MDR, or Managed Detection and Response, is a managed cybersecurity service that aims to detect, respond to and remediate threats proactively and continuously. Unlike a simple software solution or hardware device, an MDR combines advanced technological tools with human expertise to provide comprehensive protection against cyberattacks.

Here are the main aspects of an MDR service:

1. Continuous Monitoring: An MDR continuously monitors networks, systems, and endpoints to identify suspicious or malicious activity.

2. Advanced detection: Using technologies such as behavioral analytics, machine learning, and threat intelligence, an MDR is able to detect sophisticated and emerging threats that might evade traditional security systems.

3. Proactive Response: If a threat is detected, the MDR provider’s security teams respond quickly to contain and neutralize the threat, minimizing potential damage.

4. Remediation and Support: After addressing a threat, an MDR service helps remediate the damage caused and strengthen defenses to prevent future attacks.

5. Human Expertise: Unlike some automated solutions, MDR often involves human intervention, where trained security analysts review alerts and events to provide valuable insights and tailored responses to threats.

In summary, an MDR provides a proactive and comprehensive approach to information systems security by combining advanced technologies with expert human monitoring to detect, respond and remediate threats effectively and continuously.

Our MDR (Managed Detection and Response) service is aimed at a wide range of companies of all sizes and in all sectors of activity. Whether you are a small business, SME or large enterprise, our MDR can meet your IT security needs.

Companies that benefit the most from our MDR are often those facing a security skills shortage, looking to strengthen their security posture, or requiring proactive and ongoing monitoring of their IT environment. Our MDR service offers a comprehensive solution, combining advanced technology tools with human expertise to detect, respond and remediate threats effectively and continuously.

A SIEM, or Security Information and Event Management, is a software platform designed to collect, aggregate, standardize and analyze security data from various sources within a computer network. Its primary purpose is to provide complete visibility into security events and activities in an IT environment, enabling security teams to detect and respond to potential threats.

Here are some key features and functions of a SIEM:

1. Data Collection: A SIEM collects security data from various sources such as event logs, network feeds, authentication data, application logs, etc.

2. Aggregation and normalization: Collected data is aggregated and normalized to enable consistent analysis and correlation between events.

3. Event Analysis: A SIEM uses algorithms and predefined rules to analyze security events and detect suspicious behavior patterns or security incidents.

4. Event Correlation: It identifies relationships between different events to detect complex attacks that might go unnoticed if considered individually.

5. Alert generation: Based on the analyzes performed, a SIEM generates alerts to flag potentially malicious activities or abnormal security situations.

6. Secure Data Storage: It ensures secure, long-term storage of security data for regulatory compliance and post-incident analysis.

7. Reporting and Compliance: A SIEM provides reporting capabilities to help organizations meet compliance requirements and provide information on the status of network security.

In summary, a SIEM is a powerful solution used by organizations to monitor, detect, analyze and respond to IT security threats, providing extensive visibility into security activities and facilitating incident management.

It is a software solution installed on devices (endpoints) of a network, such as computers, servers, or mobile devices.

EDR monitors and records activity on these endpoints, detecting suspicious or malicious behavior.

However, EDR often requires human intervention for analysis and incident response.

The main difference between an MDR (Managed Detection and Response) and an EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) lies in their functionality and approach:

1. Functionality :

   • MDR (Managed Detection and Response): An MDR is a managed service that provides proactive and continuous monitoring of information systems. It combines advanced technological tools with human expertise to proactively and continuously detect, respond and remediate threats. MDR services often involve human intervention to analyze alerts, investigate incidents and provide an appropriate response.

   • EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response): EDR is a technology focused on detection and response at endpoints, such as computers and servers. It monitors and records activities on these devices to detect suspicious or malicious behavior.

2. Approach :

   • MDR: The MDR takes a proactive and continuous approach to information systems security. It combines advanced technologies with expert human monitoring to detect, respond and remediate threats effectively and continuously.

   • EDR : EDR primarily focuses on detection and response at endpoints. It may require human intervention for alert analysis and incident response.

Our MDR solution is a central element in complying with cyber insurance requirements, although it is not the only factor to consider.

No, our MDR solution is not just for Microsoft 365 environments.

Yes, our MDR solution is also accessible via a mobile interface, allowing you to monitor your environment at any time. Additionally, you can configure your notifications to receive SMS alerts and mobile notifications.

If you have a IT managed services plan with MS Solutions, we can take care of the management of alerts sent by the MDR (additional charges may apply).

If your company prefers to internalize alert management via its IT team, this is entirely possible thanks to the simplicity of our interface. A one-off consultation by our professionals is also available.
