Safetech Managed Detection and Response – outsourced security services with extended coverage
The current context forces companies, in most industries and regardless of their order of magnitude, to prioritize cybersecurity. The motivation is related both to the constant increase in the volume, diversity and sophistication of cyber threats, as well as to the compliance with current regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the NIS 2 Directive.
The need for continuous security monitoring, correlated with the extension of the scope of regulations and the increase in the amount of penalties provided exerts an increasing pressure on organizations. In response to these needs, Safetech Innovations has developed an extensive offering of outsourced Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. Safetech’s MDR offer addresses both small and medium-sized companies, with limited internal resources in cybersecurity, and large ones, which can thus complement or expand their own competencies to achieve the desired objectives.
Benefits of Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
Outsourced services such as Managed Detection and Response are currently a concrete solution for the needs of more and more companies. This is demonstrated by the evolution of demand – according to Fortune Business Insights (*) estimates, the value of the global MDR market, estimated at USD 1.89 billion in 2024, will register an annual growth rate of over 20% until 2032, when it is expected to reach USD 8.59 billion.
The attractiveness of the MDR suppliers’ offer is given by the fact that it includes not only advanced security solutions, but also a set of essential activities to ensure the IT protection of an organization, such as monitoring, detection, investigation, and response services, available 24x7x365, proactive threat hunting, testing, reporting and compliance management.
The intrinsic advantage of MDR’s offer lies in the fact that it provides access to the skills of specialized teams in the field of cybersecurity, which use state-of-the-art security solutions. MDR services are a sustainable, easy to apply and economically efficient alternative for organizations that cannot operate their own Security Operations Center (SOC). In addition, it allows companies to capitalize on investments already made in security infrastructure, by integrating existing solutions.
Thus, by outsourcing the processes to an MDR service provider – which has the necessary solutions, team, skills and experience – organizations improve their level of IT protection, without the challenges and expenses necessary to maintain updated technical equipment and an internal security team with full staff.
MDR services are not limited to advanced detection and response capabilities, but also provide proactive protection information that allows improving the security posture of companies. Thus, they achieve a substantial reduction in the level of risk, cost reduction, but also an improvement in the area of compliance.
Safetech services are based on Open XDR
The MDR offer prepared by Safetech Innovations is built on an Open XDR (Extended Detection and Response) solution. It protects on-premises infrastructures, hybrid cloud architectures, and IT/OT environments from a single, scalable platform, without requiring modification of existing security systems. This eliminates the risk of vendor lock-in, as well as the need for large initial investments, which are difficult to amortize.
Open XDR is a unified approach that, by integrating with existing solutions such as EDR, firewalls, authentication systems, privileged access protection systems, etc., simplifies and streamlines security operations. The platform collects, aggregates and correlates events received from existing solutions and generates security alerts, automatically adding relevant context information. It provides extensive visibility of the entire attack surface and simplifies detection of real incidents, their investigation and handling, through integrated AI/ML and automation capabilities. The platform facilitates manual or automatic response, based on an extended series of predefined or personalized playbooks.
The Open XDR platform used by Safetech specialists natively includes advanced functionalities of Network Detection Response, Intrusion Detection Systems, File Integrity Monitoring, Sandbox, Threat Intelligence, incident management, Next Generation SIEM.
To enhance proactive protection and threat detection capabilities across operational networks with industrial control systems (OT – ICS), organizations can integrate the Safetech ICS Detect Honeypot solution. This allows companies to detect advanced threats and verify and improve the effectiveness of their response measures.
Another important advantage of Safetech’s MDR offer is that it provides the necessary support to meet the compliance needs of the client, both in terms of risk control measures and reporting and governance.
Safetech MDR – service packages
The MDR offer developed by Safetech Innovations is structured on three levels – Essential, Advanced and Elevate – to ensure increased flexibility and accessibility. The packages differ in terms of the technical features and the outsourced services delivered by Safetech specialists.
The offer includes onboarding, integration and asset discovery services, monitoring, incident detection, threat investigation and response 24/7/365. Safetech specialists also provide advanced Vulnerability Assessment services (internal and external), Root Cause Analysis, Threat Hunting, audit support and compliance (Governance, Risk Management and Compliance).
All three packages of the Safetech MDR offer can be customized according to specific requirements.
