What the buyer published

This project requires a fully managed Detection and Response (MDR) service for three years designed to enhance the organisation's cybersecurity posture through continuous monitoring, rapid threat detection, and immediate incident response. The MDR solution combines advanced security analytics, threat intelligence, and 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) support to identify malicious activity across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments. The service includes real-time alerting, investigation of suspicious behaviour, guided or fully managed remediation actions, and regular reporting to improve visibility and reduce risk. By integrating expert human analysis with automated detection technologies, the MDR platform provides a proactive, scalable, and cost-effective defence against evolving cyber threats.
