# Managed Detection & Response | Novacoast

> Managed detection and response operated inside your own EDR tenant. AI-correlated, pre-approved containment in seconds, a named engineer for every decision with consequence.

# Detection on your endpoints. Decisions by someone who knows them.

CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, Carbon Black and more, operated inside your tenant. Investigation and containment, not just alert forwarding. Included by default with the co-managed SOC.

how the thesis applies here

01 The EDR fires. AI correlates it with identity, network and SIEM signal in seconds.

02 Containment you pre-approved executes: isolate the host, kill the session.

03 Anything with business consequence stops and waits for a named engineer.

04 You keep the EDR license, the policy, the tuning and the record.

## The specifics.

endpoint

### Investigation, not forwarding

Every EDR alert is enriched and correlated before a person sees it. What reaches you is a case with a recommendation, not a raw detection.

containment

### Pre-approved actions, in seconds

You decide in advance what runs on its own. Isolation, session kill, hash block. It executes the moment a case crosses the line.

judgment

### A person for the rest

Disable the account? Isolate the server that runs the clinic? A named engineer who knows your environment decides, and owns it.

tuning

### Fewer detections, better ones

Rules and thresholds tuned to your history, shipped with the playbook that makes them actionable.

hunting

### Hunts that keep working

Findings from threat hunting become detections in your EDR, by API, and stay there.

ownership

### Your tenant, your license

We operate inside your console. Cut our access and everything stays.

## Operated in your tenant.

CrowdStrike Falcon, Palo Alto Cortex XDR, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne, Carbon Black. If it has an API we can usually operate it; our engineering team builds the connectors vendors won't.

## What buyers ask first.

Is MDR extra?

No. Managed detection and response is included by default with the co-managed SOC. If you only want endpoint coverage, it can stand alone.

Do you replace our EDR?

No. We operate the one you have, in your tenant. If you're choosing one, we'll tell you what we've seen work in environments like yours, and we don't resell on commission.

What executes automatically?

Only what you pre-approved: typically isolate a host, kill a session, block an indicator. Anything that touches production or locks a person out waits for a named engineer.

How is this different from the vendor's own MDR?

The vendor's MDR knows the product. Ours knows your environment: which server runs the clinic, whose account is the CFO's. That is the difference at 3 a.m.

## Bring us the EDR you already own.

Thirty minutes with an engineer who has operated it in environments like yours, and you'll have a scope.
