Axelris Technologies Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

Cyberattacks are no longer a matter of “if” they’re a matter of “when.” Ransomware attacks are up, and demands are getting bigger every year. Phishing and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks are more convincing than ever. Most organizations don’t have the in house talent, tools, or time to monitor threats 24/7. The average business takes days to detect a breach attackers only need minutes. The gap between attack and detection is where businesses lose money, data, and trust.

What is Managed Detection and Response (MDR)?

Managed detection and response (MDR) is a cybersecurity service that helps proactively protect organizations from cyberthreats using advanced detection and rapid incident response.

It is a fully managed cybersecurity service that combines,

• Advanced detection technology (SIEM, EDR/XDR)
• Real human security analysts
• 24/7/365 monitoring, threat hunting, and rapid incident response

How Our Process MDR Works

Threat Discovery → Validation → Risk Scoring → Containment → Eradication → Recovery → Root Cause Analysis → Preventive Hardening

• Prioritize We cut through alert noise and separate real threats from false positives.
• Hunt Our analysts proactively search for hidden and dormant threats, 24/7
• Investigate Every alert is validated and investigated by a human expert
• Remediate We isolate, contain, and stop the attack from spreading
• Neutralize We fix the root cause so it doesn’t happen again

Tier 1 Maintenance and Monitoring

Scope

Basic upkeep of your platform and infrastructure patching, backups, 24/7 systems monitoring and alerting, routine maintenance.

Support and SLA

Business hours support (8×5); critical incidents responded to within 4 hours; ~99% uptime target.

Tier’s 1 Components

• Uptime Monitoring and Alerts
• Patch Management Solution
• Backup Solutions
• Cybersecurity Advisory and Threat Intelligence
• Ticketing Solution

Uptime Monitoring and Alerts

• Your systems are watched continuously, so if something goes down or starts behaving abnormally, you know immediately not hours or days later when a customer complains.
• Unplanned downtime costs money, damages customer trust, and often signals a bigger problem brewing underneath.
• Real time alerting catches issues at the first sign of trouble, allowing action before a small glitch becomes a major outage.

Patch Management Solution

• All your software and systems stay up to date with the latest security fixes, automatically and consistently.
• The majority of successful cyberattacks exploit known vulnerabilities that already have a patch available attackers rely on organizations being slow to update.
• By closing these gaps quickly and consistently, we eliminate one of the most common and easily preventable entry points attackers use.

Backup Solutions

• Your critical data is regularly and securely backed up, so it can be restored if something goes wrong.
• Ransomware, hardware failure, and human error can all result in data loss without backups, that data may be gone forever.
• Reliable backups mean that even in a worst-case scenario, your business can recover quickly instead of paying a ransom or losing operations entirely.

Cybersecurity Advisory and Threat Intelligence

• You get ongoing guidance from security experts about emerging threats relevant to your industry and environment.
• Most businesses don’t have the internal expertise to track the constantly evolving threat landscape.
• Proactive advisory means you’re prepared for threats before they target you, not just reacting after an attack.

Ticketing Solution

• Every issue, request, and incident is logged, tracked, and resolved through a clear, accountable process.
• Without proper tracking, issues get lost, forgotten, or take longer to resolve and there’s no record for compliance or review.
• A structured ticketing system ensures nothing falls through the cracks and gives you full visibility into what’s being worked on and when it will be resolved.

Tier 2 Hardening and Testing

Scope

Proactive security hardening configuration reviews, vulnerability scans, periodic security testing (quarterly vulnerability assessments, annual penetration testing), and compliance audits. Includes everything in Tier 1.

Support and SLA

Extended support (12×5); faster response on critical issues (under 2 hours); scheduled security reviews; ~99.5% uptime target.

Tier’s 2 Components

• Vulnerability Scanners
• Penetration Testing Tools
• SIEM
• Ticketing and Documentation

Vulnerability Scanners

• Your systems are automatically and regularly scanned for known security weaknesses before attackers find them.
• New vulnerabilities are discovered constantly, and a system that was secure last month may have new exposure today. Most breaches happen because a known weakness went undetected and unpatched.
• Regular scanning identifies exactly where your weaknesses are, giving your team a prioritized list to fix before those weaknesses can be exploited turning security from guesswork into a measurable, ongoing process.

Penetration Testing Tools

• Your environment is tested the way a real attacker would test it actively trying to break in, under controlled and safe conditions.
• Vulnerability scans tell you what might be weak; penetration testing proves what can actually be exploited. This is the difference between a theoretical risk and a real, demonstrated one.
• By finding and safely exploiting weaknesses before criminals do, you get concrete proof of your exposure and a clear roadmap for fixing it often required for cyber insurance and compliance audits as well.

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)

• All security relevant data from across your environment logs, alerts, network activity is collected and correlated in one central system.
• Attacks rarely show up as one obvious red flag. They show up as small, seemingly unrelated events across different systems that only make sense when viewed together.
• SIEM connects the dots between events that would otherwise go unnoticed individually, allowing early detection of attacks that would slip past standalone too ls dramatically reducing the time between compromise and detection.

Ticketing and Documentation

• Every security finding, test result, and remediation action is properly documented and tracked from discovery to resolution.
• Regulators, auditors, and cyber insurance providers increasingly require documented evidence of security testing and remediation without it, you can face compliance failures even if your security is actually strong.
• Clear documentation creates an audit trail that proves due diligence, supports compliance requirements, and gives leadership visibility into the organization’s real security posture over time.

Tier 3 Managed SecOps (Full MDR)

Scope

Full security operations management 24/7 threat monitoring, incident response, continuous threat hunting, advanced tooling (SIEM/XDR), and compliance management. Essentially your fully outsourced SecOps team, handling your security end to end. Includes everything in Tier 1 and 2.

Support and SLA

24×7 on call support; critical incident response in under 1 hour, around the clock; enhanced SLA with a 99.9% uptime commitment; formal incident response playbooks.

Tier’s 3 Components

• SIEM + EDR/XDR Platform
• SOAR Platform
• Threat Intelligence Feeds
• Identity Security
• DevSecOps Integration

SIEM + EDR/XDR Platform

• Beyond centralized log correlation, you now have direct visibility and control at the endpoint and extended environment level catching and stopping threats on individual devices, servers, and cloud workloads.
• Modern attacks often live on endpoints (laptops, servers) for weeks before detection. Without endpoint-level visibility, SIEM alone can miss the actual point of compromise.
• Combining SIEM with EDR/XDR means threats are not just detected in log data they can be actively contained at the source, isolating an infected device automatically before it spreads across the network.

SOAR Platform (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response)

• Routine and repetitive incident response actions are automated, so your team responds to threats in seconds and minutes, not hours.
• Manual incident response is slow, and every minute of delay gives an attacker more time to cause damage, spread laterally, or exfiltrate data.
• Automated playbooks execute the first critical response steps instantly isolating devices, blocking malicious IPs, disabling compromised accounts while analysts focus on the parts of an investigation that require human judgment.

Threat Intelligence Feeds

• Your defenses are continuously updated with real-world data on the latest attacker techniques, malicious IPs, malware signatures, and emerging campaigns.
• Attackers constantly change their tools and tactics; a defense built on last year’s threat data will miss this year’s attacks.
• Live threat intelligence keeps detection capabilities current, allowing your environment to recognize brand-new attack campaigns often before they’ve even been widely publicized.

Identity Security

• User accounts, credentials, and access privileges are continuously monitored for signs of compromise, misuse, or excessive privilege.
• Compromised credentials are involved in the majority of breaches attackers today prefer to “log in” rather than “hack in.” Identity is the new perimeter.
• Continuous identity monitoring catches stolen credentials, unusual login behavior, and privilege abuse in real time, closing off the most commonly exploited attack path.

DevSecOps Integration

• Security is built directly into your software development and deployment pipeline, rather than being checked only after code is already in production.
• Fixing a security flaw after deployment is far more expensive and risky than catching it during development and vulnerable code shipped to production becomes a live target.
• By embedding security checks into the development pipeline itself, vulnerabilities are caught and fixed before they ever reach your customers, reducing both risk and long-term remediation costs.

Why Businesses Choose Managed MDR

• Around the Clock Coverage Threats don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
• Reduced Risk Proactive hunting and response lowers your chance of a major breach.
• Cost Effective Security Enterprise grade protection without hiring a full in house SOC team.
• Improved Compliance Simplified audits and reporting for regulatory requirements.
• Reduced IT Burden Free your internal IT team to focus on strategic projects, not firefighting.
• Instant Access to Expertise Skilled analysts on your side, without the recruitment headache.

Real World Use Cases

• Malware We hunt down and neutralize malware variants that slip past traditional antivirus signature detection.
• Phishing and BEC We detect sophisticated phishing, adversary in the middle (AiTM), and business email compromise attempts before they cause damage.
• Regulatory Compliance We help you meet data protection and industry compliance requirements with specialized detection and reporting.
• Cloud Threats We monitor and correlate activity across cloud environments to catch data exfiltration and cloud breaches early.
• Lateral Movement We detect privilege escalation and unauthorized access attempts before attackers can move deeper into your systems.
• Network Attacks We identify and block sophisticated attacks that bypass standard network defenses.

The Cost of NOT Having MDR

Without proper MDR coverage, businesses face:

• Ransomware shutdowns and operational paralysis
• Data breaches and regulatory fines
• Brand damage and loss of customer trust
• Attackers going undetected for weeks or months
• Rising cyber insurance premiums
• Failure to meet compliance mandates
