Get on the front foot with a proactive approach to threat detection and response

Many threats seek to avoid detection and sneak between the gaps of traditional security solutions. They try to tiptoe their way into your environment and proliferate in a quiet spot as they lie low, undetected. All while under-equipped teams and under-powered solutions struggle to deal with a deluge of threats.  
 

To combat this, many organisations realise they no longer want to focus internal resources on specialist areas of IT that are expensive to build and difficult to recruit for. Turning to a trusted and experienced partner or MSP who delivers MXDR and SIEM services – in order to identify and track their business threats, optimise the efficiency of investigations, and conclude them more rapidly – this saves time and money as well as improves your organisation’s defences.

About Our Managed XDR and SIEM Services

This solution is a combination of two essential services.

XDR (Extended Detection and Response) is a multi-layered security approach that works across your entire infrastructure, taking information from email, endpoint, server, cloud workload, and network. A wide-net approach accelerates threat detection and optimises investigation and response times.

A single plane of glass view to connect the dots.  

The second string to this bow is our Managed SIEM (which stands for: security information and event management); this is a 24/7 threat monitoring service that uses state of the art technology, powered by AI, and enhanced by a team of experienced security analysts, who know every trick in the book.  

Delivering a managed XDR solution from our CREST-Accredited SOC (Security Operation Centre) gives our clients the absolute best in threat detection capabilities.

FAQs About MXDR and SIEM

What is MXDR?

MXDR stands for Managed Extended Detection and Response. It is a managed cyber security service delivered by MSPs and MSSPs that combines human expertise and the latest tools and technology for continuous monitoring, detection and response (MDR) and data visibility and automation (XDR or Extended Detection and Response). The combination of these elements are used to provide a holistic view, enabling a SOC team to carry out threat hunting with the ability to detect, investigate and rapid respond to cyber threats in real-time.

MXDR is important as it offers comprehensive visibility of end-to-end threats across an entire digital ecosystem – including endpoints, cloud, network, email and applications. For businesses, this XDR service operates 24/7 and provides an improved security posture and greater visibility and efficiency in being able to see the full picture of security incident lifecycles.

What is SIEM?

SIEM (which means Security Information and Event Management) gathers and analyses data across a whole IT estate and environment, providing a comprehensive view with insights into potential security threat and vulnerabilities.

This cyber security solution collects data, logs and events from a variety of different sources. This allows for anomaly detection that alerts security teams, enabling them to investigate and respond to incidents quickly.

SIEM is an essential cyber security service for businesses due to its enablement for fast threat detection, incident response and compliance with regulations.

What’s the difference between MXDR and SIEM?

The key difference between SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and MXDR (Managed Extended Detection and Response) is that a SIEM service collects and analyses security data, which internal security teams investigate. It’s a service that gives an overview of potential threats across your IT landscape.

Whilst MXDR uses SIEM technologies to provide a 24/7 comprehensive service delivered by highly skilled and trained security experts who hunt and lead in threat monitoring and investigating as well as the actively respond to and eliminate security incidents.
