Managed Detection and Response (MDR) with 24/7 In-House Security Operations Centre (SOC)
Cyber threats are the most rampant risk in today’s digital society. Did you know that most attacks occur outside business hours? Industry reports show attackers are more active after hours when they can exploit reduced monitoring and staffing. According to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), “highly significant” cyber-attacks increased by 50% in 2025.
Alert fatigue significantly contributes to dwell time, the time that passes from when an attack happens to when it’s detected. Non-stop cyber threat alerts pacify IT responders, causing a delayed reaction to breaches. Real-time response, on the other hand, is instant action to contain or eliminate a threat
Managed detection and response (MDR) that incorporates a continuous in-house security operations centre (SOC) ensures around-the-clock monitoring and response.

Why MDR Matters
Taking cyber security to the next level, MDR not only monitors and detects threats but also responds to them in real-time. Delayed cyber threat responses can land your company in all sorts of hot water.
- •
KPMG estimates that a significant cyber-attack can cost a UK business up to £195,000.
- •
Alma Economics found that the cyber theft of intellectual property and knowledge assets amounted to losses of between £1bn and £8.5bn in 2024.
Aside from crippling financial losses, cyber-attacks also have legal consequences and cause productivity disruptions. MDR is the key to bolstering your cyber security and preventing these financial, legal, and operational obstacles.
What MDR Actually Means
MDR merges cyber-threat discovery and management, technology and human control. This approach incorporates two core drivers, detection and response.
Detection focuses on finding the threat by monitoring your systems (endpoints, networks, emails, clouds) 24/7. Response deals with the threat by containing and neutralising it. Once a cyber-attack pings the radar, IT specialists analyse and manage it.
Combined human and automated monitoring provides multi-level protection following a filter-and-focus principle. Automated applications, the initial defence, filter vast volumes at speed by using AI and machine learning. The expert layer encompasses human analysis and response, where IT teams evaluate the nature of a threat and eliminate it accordingly.
