Sophos MDR Onboarding: Case workflow

Detections that generate a new MDR Case trigger the Sophos MDR Operations Team to investigate and respond to identified threats in your environment. This workflow is examined, along with the importance of adding your MDR authorized contacts, and choosing the appropriate Threat Response Mode. The detection triage process is covered in a linked video. Ask questions and get expert answers in the Sophos Community.

Inside SECNAP: An Agentic MDR Platform Built on LimaCharlie

Joshua Strickland from SECNAP shows how his team built a full agentic MDR platform on top of LimaCharlie. SECNAP layers its own customer portal and SOC workflows directly on LimaCharlie's API, giving AI agents the same access to telemetry and response actions as a human analyst. Joshua will walk you through the customer portal, the SOC dashboard, and a live attack simulation on a sandboxed machine, including how AI agents handle tier one and tier two triage with Sonnet and Opus, and how a human analyst reviews and approves response actions before anything ships.

Top 6 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services for Manufacturing in 2026

Manufacturing has quietly become one of the most attacked industries on the planet. Plants run on a mix of old machines, connected sensors, and IT systems that were never built with hackers in mind. One breach can shut down a production line for days. Manufacturing has held the highest share of cyberattacks of any industry for five years running, accounting for 27.7% of incidents, according to IBM X-Force research. That trend explains why so many plant managers are suddenly fielding calls from their insurance provider about security coverage.

LevelBlue Named a Major Player in the 2026 IDC MarketScape MDR/MXDR for Enterprise

Security leaders are rethinking what they expect from Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers, prompting the market to enter a new phase of maturity. Organizations are looking beyond containment metrics and response times, evaluating providers based on their ability to deliver continuous risk reduction, operational accountability, and cyber resilience.

What is Managed Detection and Response (MDR)?

As technology grows at a rapid pace, many organizations have switched to new ways of working. Now, hybrid work environments are extremely common, with many organizations hiring employees who work remotely. And then there is the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI), which has further changed the way operations are carried out in organizations. Technology has significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of work, but it has also increased the attack surface.

EDR and MDR for SMBs: enterprise-grade protection without an enterprise SOC

EDR (endpoint detection and response) is no longer an enterprise-only technology. SMBs face many of the same attacker techniques as larger organizations, but generally have fewer security and recovery resources available to contain the impact. Modern EDR platforms, especially when delivered through MDR (managed detection and response) and extended where needed with XDR (extended detection and response), make enterprise-grade protection operationally feasible for MSPs to deliver to SMB clients.

Managed EDR and XDR services: how MDR delivers 24/7 protection for MSPs

EDR (endpoint detection and response) and XDR (extended detection and response) are technologies. MDR (managed detection and response) is the managed service that continuously operates them — the 24/7/365 SOC team that monitors, investigates and responds to threats on the client’s behalf, built on top of EDR, XDR, or another detection stack.
