Managed XDR for
full visibility and fast response.
Reduce blind spots, strengthen your Defender ecosystem and respond faster to threats with managed extended detection and response (XDR). Backed by a 24×7 Australian SOC and high-confidence threat intelligence, we help you detect attacks earlier and lower risk across your environment.
Industry leading Net Promotor Score of +90.
Overview
The impact of blind spots.
Blind spots, noisy alerts and disconnected security tools make it difficult to understand what is really happening across your environment. Misconfigurations build up over time, attack signals get lost in the noise and investigations take longer than they should. When you can’t see activity clearly, threats escalate faster and important warning signs go unnoticed.
Managed XDR as a service brings your Defender ecosystem together in one governed platform. We unify signals across endpoints, identities, cloud and applications, strengthen your configuration and accelerate response with automation and 24×7 SOC expertise – so your team can stay ahead of threats without adding more work to their day.
Value you see
Security that works harder for you.
Managed XDR that detects threats earlier, contains attacks faster and reduces operational cost.

See attacks sooner with clearer visibility across your users, devices and applications.
Faster threat containment
Limit the impact of incidents with automated response and 24×7 analyst expertise.
Reduced operational effort
Lower the day-to-day workload on your team with automation and a governed Defender XDR platform.
Consistent security posture
Maintain stronger defences with Defender configurations continuously aligned to best practice.
Greater visibility
Reduce blind spots by correlating activity across endpoints, identities, cloud and apps.
Lower costs
Spend less on people and tools by consolidating security operations into a single, managed service.

Common use cases
When managed XDR makes the difference.
Our managed XDR (MXDR) service helps you detect threats earlier and respond faster.
When visibility breaks down
Blind spots across devices, identities or applications make it hard to see what is really happening. Our MXDR unifies signals into one view so you can detect threats earlier and understand them faster.
When alerts overwhelm your team
Growing environments, noisy alerts and too many tools can slow response times. MXDR streamlines investigation with automated triage, correlation and SOC support so your team can focus on what matters.
When response needs to move faster
If containment relies on manual steps or limited resourcing, incidents escalate quickly. MXDR uses automated response, SOAR/AIR workflows and 24×7 SOC expertise to minimise impact and reduce disruption.
When Defender needs governance
Misconfigurations weaken protection and create inconsistent security outcomes. MXDR provides best-practice Defender configuration and continuous governance to keep your security posture strong.
How we deliver it
What powers your protection.
We deliver MXDR through our 24×7 Australian Security Operations Centre and a governed Security Information and Event Management platform. Together, they provide faster, more reliable detection and response, and give you a clearer, more consistent security posture.
24×7 Australian analysts delivering monitoring, investigation and expert guidance.
A governed Microsoft Sentinel platform providing consistent, high-quality detections.

Managed XDR FAQs
What is managed XDR?
Managed extended detection and response – also known as managed XDR or just MXDR – is a fully managed security service that unifies detection and response across endpoints, identity, email, cloud workloads and networks. Instead of analysing alerts in isolation, XDR correlates signals across your environment to identify real threats and coordinate faster, more effective response.
How is managed XDR different from a managed SOC or SIEM?
A managed SOC or SIEM aggregates and monitors security data. Managed XDR goes further by actively correlating detections across tools and executing response actions. It combines advanced analytics, automation and human expertise to move from alerting to containment, not just monitoring.
Does managed XDR include response and containment?
Yes. Our managed XDR service includes active response and containment, not just alerting. When high-confidence threats are identified, analysts can isolate endpoints, disable compromised identities and contain incidents according to agreed playbooks to reduce impact and dwell time.
Who is managed XDR best suited for?
Managed XDR is suited to organisations that need stronger detection and response, but do not want to build or staff a full 24×7 SOC. It’scommonly adopted by cloud-first, mid-to-large organisations looking to reduce alert fatigue, improve response times and strengthen overall security posture.
How is managed XDR different from managed detection and response (MDR)?
MDR typically focuses on a narrower set of controls, most often endpoints. MXDR extends that capability across multiple security layers, giving broader visibility and stronger context. This reduces false positives and allows threats to be detected and contained earlier in the attack chain.
Do your managed XDR services work with Microsoft Defender and Sentinel?
Yes. Our managed XDR as a service integrates natively with Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel, allowing security signals from across the Microsoft ecosystem to be analysed and responded to as a single, coordinated view. Existing Microsoft investments are fully leveraged rather than duplicated.
