Managed Extended Detection & Response (MXDR)

Combining SIEM Tools Excellence with Managed SOC Expertise

Modern organisations need a constant source of information for their cyber security to be as resilient as possible. Monitoring and investigating that information requires dedicated knowledge and experience. BCN & CloudGuard AI MXDR is the perfect partnership, offering an enhanced managed SOC and SIEM security solution.

MXDR – Managed Extended Detection & Response

Managed Extended Detection & Response is an advanced cyber security service that combines two essential elements of cyber threat monitoring and incident response. CloudGuard AI MXDR is the best in class Security Incident & Event Management (SIEM) built around Microsoft’s own Sentinel SIEM platform. As a Microsoft Security Partner, BCN installs, develops, manages and maintains MXDR to the highest standard possible as a managed Security Operations Centre (SOC).

Understanding Managed Extended Detection & Response

The Solution

BCN knows that appreciating the impact of a solution means understanding the fundamental issues they respond to. For CloudGuard AI MXDR, that involves knowing how these two elements work in concert with each other.

  • MDR Explained

    Managed Detection & Response (MDR) is the ongoing monitoring of an IT environment to highlight any potential cyber threats or issues. It applies technologies such as threat intelligence, behavioural analysis and AI machine learning that allow BCN, with the responsibility as your managed Security Operations Centre, to react and respond in real time.

  • XDR Explained

    Extended Detection Response (XDR) is a broader and more holistic approach that involves data analytics and insight from your endpoints, networks and cloud environments. This represents the bigger SIEM picture to provide a backdrop for better threat hunting and investigation. It provides the most comprehensive possible foundation in response to ever-evolving cyber security issues.

Seamless Security with Managed Intelligence

CloudGuard AI MXDR integrates SIEM and Security Orchestration and Response (SOAR) in partnership with Recorded Future – the leading independent threat intelligence cloud platform.

BCN acts as your managed SOC for the whole process to identify and mitigate threats across supply chain, physical and fraud domains through unbiased and actionable intelligence. Importantly, this is done through data connectors that ensure all your data remains safe and secure in your Microsoft estate.

  • Full Visibility

    A centralised view of all security data from various sources encourages the earliest detection and assessment of threats. This enhanced visibility, through a simple dashboard, is essential for any issue that may be moving across all platforms and vectors within your IT environment.

  • Threat Hunting

    Understanding that it’s a question of when, not if, your organisation will be threatened is vital. Proactively seeking vulnerabilities and threats through MXDR enhances your security posture to keep your systems vigilant and alert at all times.

  • Automated Response

    The capability to respond automatically to threats is an invaluable first line of defence. BCN uses CloudGuard AI MXDR to create predefined actions, based on the severity of identified issues, that respond immediately without the need for human intervention.

  • Advanced Threat Detection

    Using behavioural analysis in combination with threat intelligence highlights any abnormal patterns or indications of compromise that may be missed by traditional security tools. BCN constantly monitors the cyber threat landscape to utilise this element to its full potential.

  • Incident Investigation

    Detailed forensic data is provided after any security incident to help with investigation. A timeline of events, lists of affected assets and the attacker’s tactics are all logged for full insight and understanding by BCN to inform future security procedures.
