Managed Detection & Response

Our expert team provides 24/7 monitoring, detecting threats early and responding immediately. We deploy tailored defenses dynamically to ensure your business assets are protected day and night.

What is managed detection and response (MDR)?

Managed detection and response (MDR) is a fully managed security service that combines around-the-clock monitoring, advanced threat detection, and rapid, human-led response. Instead of waiting for an alert to be noticed, a team of security analysts watches your network and endpoints 24/7, investigates suspicious activity, and contains threats before they turn into downtime or a data breach.

For Phoenix businesses that cannot staff a full in-house security team, MDR delivers enterprise-grade managed threat detection at a predictable monthly cost.

What our MDR service includes

Qbitz delivers MDR from a dedicated security operations center, combining the people, process, and technology needed to stop modern threats:

  • 24/7 SOC monitoring: a security operations center watching your environment every hour of every day.
  • SIEM log correlation: we collect and correlate logs across your network so real threats are surfaced and false alarms are filtered out.
  • Endpoint detection and response (EDR/XDR): behavior-based protection on every laptop, server, and device.
  • Proactive threat hunting: analysts actively search for attackers who try to slip past automated defenses.
  • Rapid incident response: when a threat is confirmed, we move within minutes to isolate and remediate it.

MDR vs. traditional antivirus and firewalls

Antivirus and firewalls still matter, but they are largely reactive and rely on known signatures. Today's attackers use techniques that signature-based tools never see. MDR closes that gap by adding continuous monitoring, behavior-based detection, and a live security team that investigates and responds to the threats antivirus alone would miss. To see how your defenses hold up, pair MDR with a penetration test.

FAQ

What is managed detection and response (MDR)?

Managed detection and response (MDR) is a fully managed security service that combines 24/7 monitoring, advanced threat detection, and rapid, human-led response. A team of security analysts watches your network and endpoints around the clock, investigates suspicious activity, and contains threats before they cause damage.

How is MDR different from traditional antivirus?

Traditional antivirus is reactive and relies on known signatures. MDR adds continuous monitoring, behavior-based detection, and a live security team that investigates and responds to threats antivirus alone would miss.

What is included in your MDR service?

Our MDR includes a 24/7 security operations center (SOC), SIEM log monitoring, endpoint detection and response (EDR/XDR), proactive threat hunting, and rapid incident response and containment across your network and devices.

Does MDR include a SOC and SIEM?

Yes. Our MDR is delivered from a 24/7 SOC using SIEM to correlate logs and alerts across your environment, so real threats are identified quickly and false alarms are filtered out.

Is MDR worth it for small and midsize businesses in Phoenix?

Yes. Most Phoenix small and midsize businesses cannot staff a 24/7 security team in-house. MDR gives you enterprise-grade threat detection and response at a predictable monthly cost, reducing the risk of costly downtime and data breaches.

How fast does Qbitz respond to detected threats?

Qbitz responds within minutes. Backed by a 15-minute response guarantee and a 95% first-response resolution rate, our team moves immediately to contain threats and minimize disruption.
