MDR
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services help customers proactively monitor, detect, and respond to cybersecurity threats across Endpoint, Network Identity, and Cloud attack surfaces, leveraging expert analysis and advanced technologies to enhance an organization’s overall security posture. MDR services are precious for organizations that want to expand internal expertise, resources, or technology to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats more effectively.
By partnering with PSG, organizations can enhance their security defenses and reduce the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks.

- Managed investigation and response
- Security posture optimization
MDR Services Typically Focus On Several Key Aspects
Threat Detection and Monitoring: MDR services keep a constant watch on the organization’s digital landscape, seeking out any signs of suspicious or malicious activities that could indicate a cybersecurity threat.
Incident Investigation: When potential threats are identified, MDR providers conduct thorough investigations to understand the nature and scope of the incident. This involves analyzing data logs, network traffic, and relevant information to determine the attack’s origin and potential impact.
Threat Hunting: Proactive threat hunting is a part of MDR services where cybersecurity experts actively search for concealed or advanced threats that automated detection systems might miss. This proactive approach uses threat intelligence and advanced analytics to identify potential risks.
Alerting and Response: MDR services generate alerts when suspicious activities are detected. Security analysts then assess these alerts, categorize them based on their severity, and take appropriate actions to mitigate the threats. This can include isolating affected systems or implementing security measures.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Many MDR services include Endpoint Detection and Response capabilities, focusing on monitoring and securing individual endpoints, such as desktops, laptops, and servers. EDR tools provide real-time visibility and response capabilities at the endpoint level.
Behavioral Analytics: MDR services often leverage behavioral analytics and machine learning to establish a baseline of normal behavior within an organization’s network and endpoints. Deviations from this baseline trigger alerts, indicating potentially abnormal or malicious activities.
Incident Reporting and Documentation: MDR providers supply detailed reports on security incidents, their causes, and the actions taken to mitigate them. These reports may also include recommendations for improving an organization’s security posture.
