Managed Detection & Response · 24/7 U.S.-based coverage
Detection that contains. Not detection that emails.
Your team needs to spot threats earlier, contain them faster, and keep critical systems monitored without standing up an internal 24/7 SOC. Cyberuptive delivers managed detection and response built around the modern attack chain — identity-first, endpoint-deep, with pre-authorized containment so dwell time shrinks instead of decisions waiting for a 2am phone call.
- U.S.-based analysts on staggered 24/7 shifts
- CrowdStrike + Trellix endpoint depth
- Identity attack coverage
- Pre-authorized active response
Why MDR
Speed of containment is the product.
The gap between detection and containment is where breaches happen. MDR collapses that gap. Our analysts don't just spot the indicator — they take the action while the attacker is still mid-chain.
Identity-first detection
OAuth abuse, MFA fatigue, conditional access bypasses — the modern initial access vectors.
Endpoint depth
CrowdStrike Falcon or Trellix EDR, with behavioral and IOC-based hunts running continuously.
Cloud workload coverage
AWS, Azure, GCP runtime monitoring with anomaly detection and drift alerting.
Active containment
Endpoint isolation, account disable, session termination, IOC block — all pre-authorized.
Threat intelligence
Trellix and CrowdStrike intel feeds correlated against your telemetry, not posted on a portal.
Plain English reports
Postmortems your CFO can read. Evidence packages your auditor can use.
Response matrix
Pre-authorized actions, by severity.
An example matrix from a recent customer onboarding — tailored to your environment during scoping.
| Severity | Example | Pre-authorized action | Notification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Confirmed ransomware execution | Endpoint isolation, account disable | Phone + email, immediate |
| High | Suspected credential theft | Force password reset, revoke sessions | Email + ticket, < 15 min |
| Medium | Anomalous OAuth grant | Block grant, alert user | Ticket, < 1 hr |
| Low | Suspicious scan against perimeter | Block IOC, monitor | Daily summary |

How is MDR different from SOC as a Service?
Both are managed services with humans in the loop. MDR is endpoint- and identity-led with an emphasis on rapid containment. SOC as a Service is broader — it ingests every log source (network, cloud, identity, application) and operates a wider analyst function. We offer both, and the right answer depends on what you actually need to monitor and how much in-house IT capacity you have. Most defense and regulated mid-market customers run a SOC service that includes MDR capabilities.
-
What stack runs your MDR?
CrowdStrike Falcon for EDR, Trellix endpoint and threat intelligence, and Microsoft Defender for endpoint coverage in M365-heavy environments. We choose the stack per-customer rather than forcing one tool.
-
What kind of response can you take?
Endpoint isolation, account disable, IOC block, session termination, password rotation. Every action runs against a pre-authorized response matrix you sign off on during onboarding — so we're not waking your team at 2am to ask permission to contain a known-bad endpoint.
-
Do you cover identity attacks?
Yes — and you should make sure any vendor you talk to does. Identity is the dominant initial-access vector in 2025-2026 incidents. We monitor authentication telemetry, conditional access bypass attempts, MFA fatigue patterns, and OAuth grant abuse — across Microsoft Entra and Okta.
-
Is MDR enough for CMMC?
MDR alone is not enough for full CMMC Level 2 compliance, but it covers the SI (System & Information Integrity) and IR (Incident Response) family controls and feeds the AU (Audit) family with response logs. Pair MDR with our CMMC service for end-to-end coverage.

Ready to move from alert email to active containment?
Whether you're scoping a CMMC assessment, evaluating a managed SOC, or just trying to get through your next audit — we can help. No sales theater, no hand-offs to anonymous tier-1 queues.
