Managed Threat Detection & Response

Managed Threat Detection & Response is an ongoing monitoring and response service that detects and responds to cyber threats. MDR means Managed Detection and Response.

Why organizations outsource this

Detecting an intrusion requires someone watching, continuously, who knows what normal looks like. Very few organizations in the region can staff that around the clock, and an alert that nobody sees for fourteen hours is not detection. MDR provides the monitoring, the analysis and the response capability as a service, at a cost that is predictable and considerably below building the same capability internally.

What the service covers

  • Continuous monitoring of endpoints, network, identity and cloud telemetry
  • Triage of alerts by analysts, so that what reaches the organization is real
  • Investigation and threat hunting rather than alert forwarding
  • Containment and response, with agreed authority to act
  • Reporting that a board or a regulator can read

What BCE Systems provides

Assessment of the current position and the telemetry available, service design and onboarding, integration with existing security controls, agreement of escalation paths and response authority, and ongoing service management. Where gaps exist in the underlying controls we will say so, because monitoring a poorly instrumented environment produces confidence rather than security.

Frequently asked

Does this replace our IT team?
No. It gives them monitoring coverage they cannot sustain internally and specialist analysis when something is found. Day-to-day IT operations remain with the organization.
How quickly is a threat contained?
Response times are set in the service agreement and depend on the authority the organization delegates. The most common cause of slow containment is not the service; it is an unresolved question about who may authorise disconnecting a system at two in the morning. That gets agreed at onboarding.
What do we need in place first?
Enough telemetry to see what is happening. In practice that usually means endpoint protection and identity logging at minimum. We assess before onboarding rather than after.
