Managed MDR

Managed MDR, without the noise.

Drift delivers managed detection and response focused on where risk actually forms — identity, cloud, and behaviour — not endless alerts.

No agents. No disruption. Clear outcomes.

What makes Drift MDR different

Most MDR services focus on speed of alerting. Drift focuses on impact of compromise.

We design MDR around the paths attackers actually use, and respond in a way that reduces risk — not just closes tickets.

Identity-aware
Cloud-native
Behaviour-driven
Outcome-focused

What we monitor

Identity & Access

  • Privileged access abuse
  • MFA bypass attempts
  • Lateral movement via identity
  • Credential misuse across hybrid environments

Cloud Control Plane

  • Risky configuration changes
  • Exposure created by drift
  • Suspicious API activity
  • Cross-account attack paths

Behavioural Signals

  • Anomalous user behaviour
  • Suspicious service activity
  • Attack chains, not isolated events

How we work

Human-led. Assisted by intelligence.

Drift uses automation and intelligent assistance to help our analysts work faster and more consistently — without removing human oversight.

Every investigation, response, and report is reviewed and approved by a Drift analyst.

We use assistance to:

  • Reduce alert noise
  • Assemble investigations faster
  • Improve consistency in reporting
  • Translate technical detail into executive language

Not to replace judgment.

Assisted investigations

Drift uses automation to group related signals, suggest context, and highlight potential impact — allowing our analysts to focus on decisions that actually reduce risk.

How Drift MDR responds

When a credible threat is identified, Drift:

1
Correlates signals into a single investigation

Assesses blast radius and business impact
3
Guides or executes safe containment
4
Documents what changed and why
5
Reports risk reduction, not just activity

What you get

  • Continuous monitoring
  • Incident investigation & triage
  • Identity & cloud-aware response
  • Clear executive summaries
  • Escalation when it matters

What you don't get

Alert floods
Black-box automation
Generic SOC dashboards

Who Managed MDR is for

  • Organisations starting a managed security journey
  • Cloud-first or hybrid environments
  • Teams overwhelmed by alerts
  • CISOs who need clarity, not more tools
