Comprehensive Threat Detection

Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

Q: What is EDR/XDR, and why is it important?

EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) focuses on detecting and responding to threats on individual endpoints, while XDR (Extended Detection and Response) expands this protection across your entire IT environment, including networks and cloud services. EDR/XDR ensures advanced cyber threats are detected early and neutralized before they can cause significant damage.

Q: How does using MDR/EDR impact my cyber insurance policy?

Many cyber insurance providers now require or recommend the use of EDR/MDR solutions, like Sophos MDR and Huntress , as part of their coverage criteria. These solutions are often considered Tier-1 protection by insurers, helping reduce the risk of cyber incidents. By implementing these advanced security measures, you may be eligible for reduced premiums due to your enhanced security posture. It’s important to inform your insurance provider of these protections, as it could positively impact your policy terms.

Q: How does Sophos MDR differ from Huntress?

Sophos MDR is an enterprise-level solution that offers 24/7 monitoring, proactive threat hunting, and full-scale incident response with SIEM integration. Huntress , on the other hand, focuses on breach detection, specifically identifying persistent footholds left by attackers, offering a cost-effective solution for SMBs.

Q: Can I use both Sophos MDR and Huntress?

Yes, depending on your business needs, you can leverage Sophos MDR for more advanced enterprise protection and Huntress for breach detection and remediation. We tailor our services to meet your unique security requirements.

Q: Is Managed Detection and Response (MDR) a SOC service?

While MDR provides many of the same functions as a Security Operations Center (SOC) —such as 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, and incident response—it is not a full SOC. However, Sophos MDR and Huntress deliver expert-led services that handle many critical SOC responsibilities, including threat hunting and remediation, without the need for an in-house SOC team. For businesses that don't have the resources to maintain a full SOC, MDR is a highly effective and affordable alternative.
