Security Beyond Alerts
Turn security signals into meaningful action.
Security tools can generate large volumes of alerts, but identifying which events represent genuine threats requires context, investigation and a coordinated response.
Petabyte MDR brings detection and response activities together to help your organisation investigate suspicious behaviour, prioritise risk and make informed decisions when security events arise.
MDR is more than monitoring.
It connects threat detection with investigation, response coordination and recommendations that support continuous security improvement.
Identify Suspicious Activity
Analyse available security telemetry and detection signals to identify activity that may indicate a threat.
Investigate With Context
Correlate relevant events and review affected users, endpoints, identities and systems to understand potential impact.
Coordinate Response
Support containment and remediation decisions through agreed response procedures and authorised actions.
Improve Security Posture
Use investigation findings, reporting and recommendations to address recurring weaknesses and strengthen defences.
MDR Capabilities
A coordinated approach to threat response.
Bring key detection, investigation and response activities into a structured managed security service aligned with your environment and operational requirements.
Alert Triage & Validation
Assess alert context, prioritise potentially significant events and help distinguish actionable threats from lower-risk activity.
Threat Investigation
Examine relevant evidence, affected assets and event relationships to understand the likely scope and potential business impact.
Containment Coordination
Coordinate agreed containment actions with designated stakeholders, subject to access permissions and response authorisation.
Detection Tuning
Use investigation findings to recommend improvements to detection rules, alert quality, logging coverage and response workflows.
Reporting & Recommendations
Provide agreed reporting on relevant incidents, investigation outcomes, observed risks and opportunities to strengthen controls.
How MDR Works
From detection to informed response.
A defined operational lifecycle helps your team understand how suspicious activity is assessed, escalated and addressed.
Collect & Detect
Use agreed telemetry and supported security tools to surface suspicious events across the in-scope environment.
Analyse & Prioritise
Review evidence, correlate relevant signals and assess the potential severity and business relevance of alerts.
Respond & Contain
Escalate confirmed or suspected threats and coordinate agreed containment or remediation actions with stakeholders.
Report & Improve
Document outcomes, communicate findings and identify practical improvements to reduce recurring security risks.
Coverage & Integration
Designed around your security environment.
MDR coverage depends on the technologies deployed, available telemetry, agreed scope and integration requirements.
Endpoint & Identity Security
Investigate supported endpoint and identity signals to help identify suspicious execution, unusual access patterns and potential account compromise.
Network & Cloud Visibility
Review available network, cloud and security-platform events to help investigate suspicious communications and changes to critical resources.
Service Onboarding
A clear path to managed security.
Establish the scope, operating procedures and communication channels needed for an effective MDR engagement.
Assess Requirements
Review your infrastructure, existing tools, business priorities, risk concerns and current security operations.
Define Scope & Access
Agree in-scope assets, telemetry sources, integration needs, escalation contacts and response permissions.
Configure & Validate
Set up agreed integrations and validate available data, alert workflows, reporting and escalation procedures.
Operate & Refine
Execute the agreed service workflow, review findings and refine coverage based on results and changing requirements.

Talk to Our Team →What is Managed Detection & Response (MDR)?
MDR is a managed cybersecurity service that combines security telemetry, threat detection, alert investigation and response support. It helps organisations identify suspicious activity and coordinate appropriate action.
How is MDR different from traditional antivirus?
Antivirus primarily focuses on detecting and blocking known or suspicious malicious software. MDR adds a broader operational layer involving alert investigation, threat context, escalation, response coordination and security improvement, depending on the agreed service scope.
How is MDR different from an SOC service?
A Security Operations Centre (SOC) is an operational function for monitoring and managing security events. MDR is a managed detection-and-response service that can include SOC capabilities alongside threat investigation and response support. Exact responsibilities depend on the service model.
Can MDR work with our existing security tools?
Potentially, yes. Integration depends on the products in use, supported connectors, licensing, data availability and access permissions. Compatibility and onboarding requirements should be confirmed during the initial assessment.
Does MDR automatically contain every threat?
No security service can guarantee that every threat will be detected or contained. Response actions depend on the available telemetry, configured controls, agreed authority, operational conditions and the nature of the incident.
Is MDR suitable for small and medium-sized businesses?
MDR can be suitable for organisations that need additional security monitoring and response capabilities without building every function internally. The appropriate scope depends on the organisation's risk profile, infrastructure, budget and operational requirements.
How do we get started with MDR?
Start with a discussion about your environment, current security tools, key risks, coverage expectations and incident escalation requirements. These details help define a practical scope and onboarding approach.
