Managed Detection & Response
Most breaches are not discovered by the company that got breached, they are reported by a customer, a bank, or a ransom note. Managed Detection and Response closes that gap.

Mean detection to containment
100%
Alerts reviewed by humans
Attackers can move from first access to domain-wide control in under an hour in the fastest observed intrusions, while the average small business takes weeks to notice anything happened at all. Tools alone do not close that gap. Someone has to be watching, and that someone has to be awake at 2:47am on a Sunday.
That is what Managed Detection and Response does. We collect telemetry from your endpoints, servers, cloud tenants, firewalls, and identity provider, correlate it in a SIEM, and put a live analyst behind every alert that matters. When something real happens, we do not send a ticket and wait, we isolate the host, disable the account, kill the process, and then call you.
The difference between MDR and the antivirus console you already own is simple: antivirus tells you a file was blocked. MDR tells you a legitimate admin account logged in from a new country, created a scheduled task, and started touching your file server, none of which triggers a single malware signature.
For Northern Virginia’s dense population of defense contractors and regulated businesses, MDR is also fast becoming a baseline expectation from cyber insurers, prime contractors, and auditors who ask directly whether you have continuous monitoring in place.
Signs you need this
Nobody is reviewing security alerts after 5pm or on weekends.
Your cyber insurance application asked about 24/7 monitoring and you had to answer no.
You have endpoint protection but no one investigates what it flags.
A client, prime contractor, or auditor asked for evidence of continuous monitoring.
You handle regulated data under HIPAA, CMMC, PCI DSS, or SOC 2.
Your team found out about the last incident from an end user, not a tool.
What’s included
24/7 SOC monitoring
Analysts on shift around the clock, including holidays, watching your environment.
SIEM & SOAR integration
Centralized log correlation across endpoints, cloud, network, and identity, with automated playbooks.
Automated threat containment
Host isolation, session revocation, and account disablement for high-confidence detections.
Incident response & forensics
Root cause analysis and attacker timeline, included in the retainer, not billed at emergency rates.
Proactive threat hunting
Hypothesis-driven hunts for quiet activity that never triggers an automated alert.
Monthly threat reports
Plain-language summary for leadership plus technical detail for auditors and insurers.
How we deliver it
1. Telemetry onboarding
We deploy sensors, connect M365/Google Workspace, and ingest firewall and identity logs. Most environments onboard in 5-10 business days.
2. Baseline & tuning
The first two weeks are spent learning what normal looks like in your specific environment.
3. Detection & triage
Correlation rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK run continuously; every alert that survives automated triage goes to a human.
4. Containment
Confirmed threats are contained first and discussed second.
5. Investigation & recovery
Root cause, scope of access, a written timeline, remediation steps, and an evidence package for your insurer.
