How MDR Eases the Burden on Companies in Cyber Defense

The attack surface is growing, but unfortunately, security teams aren’t growing at the same rate. Endpoints are the most common entry point for cyberattacks, yet most companies lack the personnel and 24/7 readiness to respond. Building in-house SIEM or SOC infrastructure is expensive, time-consuming, and complex.

Enterprise Security with MDR

The NTS Threat Detection Service | MDR (Managed Detection and Response) is the answer! What a traditional Security Operations Center (SOC) is supposed to provide internally – continuous monitoring, threat analysis, and qualified response – is delivered by the NTS Threat Detection Service | MDR as a fully managed service. Companies gain the functionality of a 24/7 SOC without having to build one themselves.

People Make the Difference

We protect your IT around the clock – fully managed, so you don’t have to build your own security team. The NTS Defense Team, a specialized unit of certified security analysts and engineers, handles monitoring, analysis, and response. This is where the major advantage for your IT security lies. After all, the value of MDR lies not in the technology but in the expertise and actions of the people who evaluate the generated signals and initiate the necessary processes. Analysts from the NTS Threat Detection Service | MDR prepare detection rules for targeted threat detection.

“A shorter time between detection and response means less damage, less downtime, and lower costs.”

Johann Siegele Technology Manager, NTS

Cortex XDR as the Technological Foundation

Technically, MDR is based on a cloud-based Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution from Palo Alto Networks, Cortex XDR. The platform continuously collects telemetry data from all endpoints, such as servers, desktops, and mobile devices, and detects anomalies in real time. Machine learning and AI correlate data from multiple sources, uncover sophisticated attacks, and drastically reduce false positives. Customers are notified only in the event of serious threats.

What Happens in the Event of an Incident

The NTS Incident Response Service kicks in when an incident occurs: A specialized team of experts is on standby with defined response times to handle incidents quickly and effectively and restore normal operations.

NIS2 Compliance

The NTS Threat Detection Service | MDR and the NTS Incident Response Service are essential pillars of NIS2 compliance, as they ensure that security incidents at endpoints are detected without exception and that a structured, documented response is provided within the statutory reporting deadlines of 24 and 72 hours, respectively.

Getting Started with the NTS Defense Portfolio

The NTS Threat Detection Service | MDR is part of a coordinated defense portfolio that covers the entire security lifecycle. MDR is the perfect starting point for this lifecycle: it’s quick to set up and focused on endpoints. And it can be seamlessly expanded as needed, e.g. to include SIEM, if you need to cover your entire IT environment.
