Cyber | Managed Detection RESPONSE

MDR

Humans and conventional systems aren’t quick, or sophisticated enough to detect complex threats that are hidden amongst huge amounts of information.

Attacks are becoming more complex and subtle, to stay ahead of cyber threats you need the right technology, skill set, and knowledge.

The world of cyber-crime is constantly growing and evolving

The range and sophistication of cyber threats is growing at a rapid pace.
Public and private sector organisations are being bombarded by these threats relentlessly.
Unless you have a skilled and dedicated cyber team, armed with cutting edge technology and 24×7 monitoring capabilities, it’s virtually impossible to keep up with the pace of cyber-crime.

Managed Detection & Response

According to the UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2023, only 32% of UK businesses having identified a cyber-attack targeting them – the majority of attacks are being left undetected. With Managed Detection and Response (MDR) from NCL – you can avoid being in that majority

Threat Detection

The longer it takes to detect a breach, the higher the repair cost. Our MDR service offers full visibility, data analysis from multiple sources across your network and correlation of suspicious behaviour with global threat intelligence feeds.

Threat Response

Running a suitable cyber security operation in-house involves significant investment. The costs of employment, training, technology and facilities have now become unviable, which is why Gartner have said that “by 2025, 60% of companies will be using MDR for remote threat disruption and containment.”

Alleviate The Stress Of Meeting Compliance & Regulation Standards

Are your internal policies being followed? Do you meet your regulatory requirements? Are you sure? Our MDR service ensures you’ll meet compliance standards and regulations by quickly and easily providing all of the data and information needed to underpin any legal, internal or forensic investigations.

“44% of consumers wouldn’t spend with a business for several months after a data breach.
41% wouldn’t return to the business at all.”

How MDR works

Fully Managed, self-service and virtual SOC/co-managed operating models are available.

Data Gathering

Cloud-based agents gather data from endpoints, other network sensors. Data combined with firewall data, and other third party tools using out-the-box integrations or development.

Data
Analysis

The data gathered from endpoints and sensors within the network is then processed and analysed within our secure cloud data centre.

Threat Validation

Any threats or suspicious activities are immediately presented to analysts within our UK-based SOC for validation and agreed response action.

Threat Elimination

In the event of an incoming threat, based on pre-agreement from you, a rapid response is deployed through pre-determined automated prevention/protection action.

Integrate to Floodlight

NCL’s Digital Operations Centre (DOC) combines NOC and SOC into one. Immediate response and clarity.

FAQ

Is MDR right for my business?

While MDR can benefit organisations of all sizes and industries, its suitability depends on factors such as the your risk profile, cyber security maturity, budget, and resource constraints.

MDR may be particularly beneficial if you have limited internal cyber security expertise or if you’re looking to augment your existing security capabilities.

Unless your roadmap is to invest in creating a 24/7 in-house cyber security team and SOC, then it’s well worth us having a conversation about Managed Detection and Response.

How does MDR differ from other security solutions?

Unlike traditional security solutions that focus primarily on prevention (e.g., firewalls, antivirus), MDR takes a proactive approach to cyber security by emphasising detection and response capabilities.

We use advanced threat intelligence, behaviour analytics, and 24/7 monitoring to detect and respond to threats that may evade traditional security controls.

What are the key components of your MDR service?

The key components of our MDR service includes:

• Continuous monitoring of network traffic, endpoints, and cloud environments.

• Threat detection using advanced analytics, machine learning, and threat intelligence.

• Incident investigation and response from our team of cyber security analysts and threat hunters.

• Remediation guidance and support to contain and mitigate security incidents.

• Regular reporting and analysis to provide insights into security posture and threat trends.

How does MDR help with incident response?

MDR facilitates faster and more effective incident response by providing:

• Real-time alerts and notifications for potential security incidents.

• Rapid investigation and analysis of suspicious activities or anomalies.

• Coordinated response efforts to contain and mitigate security incidents.
