Managed Detection & Response
Continuous endpoint detection, identity threat monitoring, and exposure management — delivered through our vetted MSSP partnership, backed by vCISO oversight.
One Agent. Full Visibility.
Most organizations run a patchwork of tools that don’t talk to each other — an antivirus product here, a logging tool there, no one watching the identity layer. Our Managed Detection & Response service closes those gaps with a single lightweight agent (Windows, macOS, and Linux) that feeds one console, backed by vCISO oversight to interpret and act on what it finds.
This isn’t a bolt-on alert feed. It’s a managed capability — deployed, tuned, and overseen by the same expertise that already builds your security program, so detection connects directly to governance instead of living in a separate silo.
What's Included
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Continuous monitoring and rapid containment across every laptop, server, and workstation in your environment.
Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR)
Coverage for the identity layer — credential misuse, privilege escalation, and lateral movement — that traditional endpoint tools miss.
Digital Forensics
Built-in forensic data collection so that when something does happen, the evidence needed to understand it is already captured.
Exposure Management
Ongoing visibility into the vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that give attackers an opening, so exposure gets prioritized before it gets exploited.
Independently Tested
The underlying technology behind our MDR service has been independently benchmarked rather than judged on vendor claims alone. In AV-Comparatives’ 2024 Malware Protection Test, it achieved a 99.2% malware protection rate with zero false alarms, and ranked #1 for performance impact among the 15 vendors tested — meaning strong protection without slowing down your team’s machines.
How It Works
Getting your organization covered is a straightforward, guided process.
Discovery Call
We talk through your environment — endpoint count, current tools, and what you need visibility into.
Deployment
The agent installs across your endpoints with minimal disruption, and we tune detection rules to your environment.
Ongoing Monitoring & Response
We review alerts, triage incidents, and escalate directly to you with clear next steps — not just a raw feed of noise.
Reporting & Advisory
Regular reporting ties findings back to your broader security program, so detection informs strategy instead of sitting in a silo.

Managed Detection & Response — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our MDR / MSSP offering.
What's the difference between MDR and a traditional antivirus?
Antivirus looks for known malware signatures on a single machine. Managed Detection & Response combines a lightweight agent with expert oversight — watching endpoints, identities, and exposure across your whole environment, and acting on what it finds rather than just logging it.
Do I need a full SOC team to use this service?
No. That's the point of a managed service — we provide the monitoring and response oversight so you don't need to build and staff that capability in-house.
How does this fit with Cover6's vCISO services?
MDR gives your organization the technical detection layer; your vCISO engagement gives you the strategic oversight to act on what's found. The two are designed to work together, whether you're already a Cover6 vCISO client or coming to us for detection and response on its own.
What's the first step to getting covered?
Start with a discovery call. We'll walk through your current environment and endpoint count, and scope what coverage looks like for your organization — there's no obligation.
