Nedscaper MXDR is a Managed Extended Detect and Respond cloud-native solution which provides 24/7 threat protection, vulnerability management and combined threat intelligence built on Azure. The security baseline consist of the Zero Trust framework with advanced detection and respond via XDR (eXtended Detect and Respond) Microsoft 365 Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Defender for IoT.

Microsoft Sentinel, in co-operation with the XDR solutions Microsoft 365 Defender and Defender for Cloud, helps simplify and strengthen enterprise security operations by collecting security data across the entire hybrid enterprise – including users, devices, applications and infrastructure deployed on-premises and in the cloud – and using built-in artificial intelligence to quickly and accurately identify security threats.

An effective MXDR partner should have the capability to detect incidents at its heart, investigate them in order to decide on an appropriate course of action, and act upon that. It should strive to identify indications of an attack at the earliest possible stage (moving from detect to predict), in order to maximize the opportunity of mitigating the threat before it effectuates and impacts the business. To this end, an effective SOC should be able to understand threats, the cyber terrain as well as the business in which it is actively operating.
