Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
24/7 threat detection, proactive threat hunting, and rapid incident response delivered as a service by offensive security experts.
As your MDR provider, our analysts watch your environment 24/7, proactively hunt for threats that automated tooling misses, and respond the moment an attacker is confirmed, with investigation, containment, and remediation support. We combine industry-leading detection technology with experienced offensive security professionals who know how real intrusions unfold, so threats are stopped before they become incidents.
What is MDR?
Managed detection and response (MDR) is a service that detects active threats, hunts for attackers in your environment, and responds to contain them, around the clock. Where pure monitoring stops at raising alerts, MDR adds human threat hunters and rapid containment. We operate your EDR or XDR and detection sources for you, so you get a detection-and-response capability without building, staffing, and running your own Security Operations Center.
Key Features
24/7 Threat Detection
Continuous detection across endpoints, network, and cloud using enterprise-grade tooling.
Proactive Threat Hunting
Human analysts hunt for attackers and stealthy activity that automated alerts miss.
Rapid Incident Response
Immediate investigation, containment, and remediation support on confirmed threats.
EDR / XDR Management
We operate and tune your EDR or XDR so you extract full value without an in-house team.
SOC-as-a-Service
Enterprise-grade detection and response capability without building your own SOC.
Who Needs MDR?
Organisations that have detection tooling but no 24/7 team to act on it, companies without an in-house SOC, and security teams that need expert threat hunting and rapid response to augment their own capacity. MDR gives you enterprise-grade detection and response at a fraction of the cost of building your own around-the-clock SOC.
How Our MDR Works
Onboarding & Baseline
We map your environment, sources, and risk profile to establish a detection baseline.
Sensor & Source Integration
Connect your EDR or XDR, logs, and cloud sources into our detection pipeline.
24/7 Detection
Continuous monitoring and correlation across your environment for threats.
Threat Hunting
Analysts proactively hunt for attacker behaviour that evades automated detection.
Respond & Contain
On a confirmed threat we investigate, contain, and support remediation immediately.
Reporting & Tuning
Periodic reporting with trend analysis and continuous detection tuning.
Detection Technology We Operate
We deploy and manage industry-leading EDR and XDR platforms, SIEM, threat intelligence feeds, and automated response tooling. All technology is enterprise-grade, continuously tuned, and operated by our certified analysts, so you do not need to buy, integrate, or staff it yourself.
Service Deliverables
MDR FAQ
The questions security and IT leaders ask us most often before engaging an MDR provider, answered straight.
What is managed detection and response (MDR)?
MDR is a security service that combines threat detection, 24/7 threat hunting, and active incident response. Instead of only raising alerts, our analysts proactively hunt for attackers in your environment and step in to contain a threat the moment one is confirmed. You get detection and response delivered as a service by a team that understands how attackers actually operate.
What is the difference between MDR and an MSSP?
An MSSP broadly manages your security operations and tooling. MDR is more specific and deeper: it focuses on detecting and responding to active threats, with human threat hunters and rapid containment at its core. Many organisations deploy MDR as a detection-and-response layer on top of their existing stack. Our broader managed security service and MDR complement each other.
What is the difference between MDR and EDR or XDR?
EDR and XDR are technologies: they provide the telemetry and detection signals from endpoints and wider sources. MDR is the service around them, the people, process, and 24/7 response that turn those signals into actually-handled incidents. We manage and operate your EDR or XDR so you do not need to build a team to extract value from it.
Does MDR replace our SIEM?
No. MDR works alongside your SIEM and EDR or XDR; we use those sources to detect and respond to threats. If you do not yet have a SIEM, we can provide the detection capability you need as part of the service, so you do not have to buy and manage separate platforms.
How quickly do you respond to a threat?
Our analysts monitor 24/7 and response times are defined in the service level agreement, matched to your risk profile. On a confirmed threat we move straight to investigation, containment, and remediation support, so an incident is stopped before it escalates.
How much does managed detection and response cost?
MDR is scoped per organisation; there is no fixed price list. Cost depends on the number of endpoints and log sources, the coverage required, and the service levels. A scoping call typically takes 30 minutes and produces a fixed-scope written proposal within five working days.
What does HackersHub deliver as an MDR service?
You get 24/7 detection and threat hunting, rapid incident response with containment and remediation, management of your EDR or XDR, periodic reporting with trend analysis, and direct communication channels to our analysts. All delivered by a team of offensive security experts.
