What is Managed eXtended Detection and Response (MXDR)?

Managed eXtended Detection and Response (MXDR) combines the greater visibility and control offered by extended detection and response (XDR) with the convenience and scalability of managed security services. With MXDR, an organization gains access to the latest security technologies and specialized cybersecurity expertise.

How Does MXDR Work

Managed detection and response (MDR) service offerings provide organizations with third-party incident detection and response support. MDR providers monitor the customer’s network for signs of an attack and perform proactive threat hunting to identify advanced threats.

If an intrusion is detected, the provider supports the organization’s incident response efforts.

MXDR takes this a step further by deploying an Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solution on the customer network that provides unified visibility, detection, and response capabilities across multiple security solutions and attack vectors.

The XDR solution integrates data from endpoints, networks, servers, cloud services, and more into a single dashboard, enhancing the ability to detect, investigate, and respond to sophisticated threats across the entire IT environment. Managed XDR provides management of the XDR solution as a service, so enterprises can enjoy the superior protection of a fully managed XDR without having to hire and train an in-house team.

Managed eXtended Detection and Response (MXDR) Components and Capabilities

MXDR providers leverage the latest threat detection and response solutions and offer customers a range of security management solutions.

Some of the key components and capabilities that are part of an MXDR offering include:

延伸偵測與回應 (XDR): XDR is a solution deployed to provide protection against advanced cyber threats. It integrates data from multiple sources, such as endpoints, networks, cloud environments, and applications, to offer a unified approach to threat detection, investigation, and response. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence and automation, XDR enhances the ability of security teams to identify and neutralize sophisticated, multi-stage attacks efficiently.
24/7 Monitoring: Round-the-clock monitoring is a key component of any managed security service. MXDR enhances this with the integrated and extended visibility provided by XDR.
Incident Detection: MXDR providers will operate a security information and event management (SIEM) solution that collects and analyzes security data from various sources. This helps them to identify trends and anomalies that could point to cybersecurity incidents.
威脅搜捕: MXDR offers threat hunting services to identify resident threats within an organization’s systems. These services leverage XDR’s greater visibility to detect intrusions that might have been missed by other service offerings.
Incident Investigation: After identifying a security incident, MXDR providers will investigate the incident. Root cause analysis both helps in remediation and can aid in preventing similar incidents in the future.
Incident Response: MXDR providers will also help organizations to remediate an identified threat. This combines manual responses with the automated capabilities of an XDR solution.
Threat Intelligence: Threat intelligence can be invaluable for identifying the latest cybersecurity attack campaigns. MXDR providers will use their threat intelligence to enhance their incident detection and threat hunting capabilities within clients’ environments.
Compliance and Reporting: MXDR providers will report information about their activities and the state of the client network to their customers. This information supports an organization’s regulatory compliance and reporting efforts.
