Softcat's Managed XDR (MXDR) for Microsoft Sentinel can help you to proactively defend your organisation against threats and breaches. With this service, we leverage Microsoft Sentinel as the underlying platform, providing optimised design, cost optimisation, custom content creation, and resource considerations. We combine this with the capabilities of the Microsoft Defender stack to provide response across the environment for endpoints.

This is all achieved by collecting data from various sources such as cloud services, on-premises infrastructure, and endpoints, our service utilises machine learning and other advanced techniques to analyse and identify potential security threats.

The Service is run from Softcat’s UK based 24x7x365 Security Operations Centre (SOC) who continuously monitor and manage the service, offering expert guidance and support to customers.

Additionally, the service encompasses features like threat hunting and security orchestration, automation, and response, all aimed at promptly identifying and responding to security threats that may arise. Softcat's service is structured to deliver real value to customers in the shortest possible time, making it a valuable addition to any organisation's security posture.
