Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) pairs Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) with expert-led monitoring and threat mitigation
Expert security analysts monitor and respond to threats across your endpoints 24/7, dealing with threats before they impact your business.
Cyber criminals are now using smarter and more devious tactics to access networks so they can steal valuable data. Traditional security and basic antivirus tools are no longer sufficient to prevent endpoint breaches. It’s crucial for businesses to have Managed Detection and Response (MDR) in place, as it moves your cyber security from a reactive posture to one that’s a proactive, 24/7, detection and response model.
Croft’s MDR combines the benefits of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) with human security expertise to monitor and protect your systems 24/7. MDR’s key differentiator is that it is a fully managed service that hunts, investigates, and responds to potential threats using EDR tools.
MDR is generally ideal for businesses without a dedicated IT security team, those operating outside of normal business hours, or those needing to fulfil compliance requirements that call for continuous monitoring. MDR also allows your business to take advantage of predictable costs while benefiting from an overall strengthened security posture.

The Benefits of Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
24/7 Expert Protection
Trained security experts watch your systems 24/7, offering immediate responses to threats, avoiding the need to employ your own in-house professionals with deep security expertise.
Proactive Threat Hunting
Experts proactively hunt for hidden threats that might avoid automated detection, identifying suspicious patterns and sophisticated attacks before they can become serious incidents.
Reduce Work Burden
Free up your team to focus on other business priorities and reduce ‘alert fatigue’ by allowing security experts to filter out false alarms and focus on real threats.
Faster Incident Response
Benefit from faster response times and expert guidance that reduces the potential damage and cost of security incidents.
Compare Managed Detection and Response (MDR) with EDR and XDR
This table provides a side-by-side review of what EDR, MDR, and XDR security levels offer.
EDR provides baseline threat detection, but your in-house team or IT supplier will need to closely monitor alerts and respond to incidents.
MDR takes EDR one step further by adding 24/7 expert-led monitoring to strengthen your security posture. This means there is no need to have your own in-house security experts.
XDR extends this protection and visibility across your entire IT environment, including endpoints, cloud applications and services, email, and networks.
The majority of businesses will benefit from investing in MDR-level protection. The combination of endpoint technology and expert oversight will significantly reduce the risk from threats without the cost and complexity of building internal security operations.
