How it Works
Our process includes a four-stage cycle.
Collection
We ingest security signals and data from across your entire technology stack (endpoints, cloud, and network) into our security platform.
Detection
Our platform and our inhouse SOC sift through the noise to identify suspicious activities and potential threats that deviate from normal patterns.
Investigation
When a credible threat is detected, our U.S.-based analysts triage the alert, analyze its behavior, and determine its scope and risk. They hunt for adjacent signs of compromise, separating genuine threats from false positives.
Response
Based on pre-approved rules of engagement, our experienced SOC team takes decisive action to contain the threat. This could involve isolating a compromised endpoint from the network, terminating a malicious process, or blocking malicious email domains/senders to stop an attack in its tracks before it can escalate into a full-blown breach.
Our Managed Cybersecurity Services offer continuous, integrated protection, including MDR, EDR, VM, MES, pDNS, and 24/7/365 U.S.-based cybersecurity monitoring. With additional features like data loss prevention and threat intelligence, you can focus on education while we handle your cybersecurity needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: We already have an IT team. Will this replace them?
Not at all. We act as a powerful extension of your IT team or MSP. We handle the specialized, 24/7 work of threat detection and response, freeing your team from the overwhelming noise of security alerts so they can focus on strategic IT projects that drive your institution forward.
Q2: What happens when you find a real threat?
Our SOC team will immediately follow the response plan we established with you during onboarding. This typically involves containing the threat by isolating the device, followed by a direct communication to your designated points of contact with a clear explanation of what happened and what the next steps are.
Q3: Is MDR affordable for educational institutions?
Absolutely. Building an internal SOC with the same level of 24/7 coverage and expertise would cost several hundred thousand dollars per year in salaries and technology. Our MDR service provides a predictable, monthly operational expense that is a fraction of that cost, making enterprise-grade security accessible to educational institutions.
