Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

Discover how Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services can proactively protect your organization from cyber threats and quickly mitigate security incidents.

Monitor, Detect, and Resolve security issues across multiple endpoints with Managed Detection and Response. US Signal’s next generation Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is an endpoint security solution that deploys software-based tools to gather data from endpoints and utilizes that data to analyze suspicious system activities. US Signal leverages a third-party software platform to monitor, collect, and analyze data from endpoints that could indicate a threat. Additionally, rules can be configured to automatically respond to identified threats to remove or contain them. 

Let US Signal’s security experts monitor, detect, and resolve security issues across your multiple endpoints with Managed Detection and Response (MDR), a Managed Endpoint Detection and Response service. US Signal’s Security Operations Center (“SOC”) team receives and responds to all security alerts, freeing up your internal resources and enabling you to leverage the SOC team’s extensive security experience and expertise.

 

Technical Overview

US Signal’s Security Operations Center (“SOC”) team will work with your team to manage the deployment and setup of the MDR service. This product utilizes a cloud-based deployment model, which means that the agents communicate directly with a central management platform in the cloud, as well as light weight agents, or endpoint installations that usually have much less performance impact on systems. 

Software agents conduct endpoint monitoring and collect data—such as processes, connections, volume of activity, and data transfers—into a central database. From there, pre-configured rules in an MDR solution can recognize when incoming data indicates a known type of security breach and triggers an automatic response, such as to log off the end user or send an alert to a staff member. Lastly, Forensics tools can enable IT security professionals to investigate past breaches to better understand how an exploit works and how it penetrated security. IT security professionals also use forensics tools to hunt for threats in the system, such as malware or other exploits that might lurk undetected on an endpoint.
