What is Managed Detection and Response (MDR)?
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is an advanced managed security service from Atos that provides threat intelligence, threat hunting, security monitoring, incident analysis and incident response. Our offering is unlike traditional MSSPs, which only provide alerts from security monitoring.
Using advanced security analytics on endpoints, user behavior, applications and the network, MDR provides deeper detection compared to traditional MSSPs that mostly rely on rules and signatures.
For faster response, MDR also uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to investigate, automatically contain threats, and orchestrate the response.

Combat sophisticated cyberthreats with Atos Managed Detection and Response services
Why choose Atos MDR services?
Cyberthreats are rising in both volume and sophistication every day. Traditionally, cyberdefense has been at a disadvantage. Attackers needed to succeed just once, while defenders must protect a large, ever-expanding attack surface 24×7. No amount of people can mine through all your security and IT data to detect modern threats and respond quickly to contain attacks.
Atos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is built on the power of AI, big data analytics and edge computing to bring you multi-vector threat detection and full-service response at remarkable speeds.
As a client, you get the power of 16 next-generation SOCs that are dedicated to preventing breaches on public, hybrid and private clouds by proactively hunting, containing and responding to threats.
Gartner Market Guide to Managed Detection and Response 2023
Understand the current state of the MDR market
According to Gartner, “MDR services add 24/7 threat monitoring, detection and response capabilities to security operations capabilities via an outcome-oriented approach. Security and risk management leaders should use this research to determine if MDR services are a good fit for their goals, use cases and requirements.”
Multi-vector threat detection and hunting
When it comes to cybersecurity, if you are blind anywhere, you are blind everywhere. This is why AIsaac®, the Atos AI platform for cyber analytics and hybrid SecOps brings superior threat visibility:
- Employ telemetry from your cloud, endpoints, network, users, logs and your entire IT stack to uncover cyberthreats
- Enable automated, methodical and continuous hunting of cyberthreats to identify malware beaconing, data exfiltration, lateral movements and hundreds of other indicators
- Harness the power of edge computing and cloud for powerful analytics and scale
Auto containment and full-service response
When it comes to threat response, if you cannot act swiftly and evict the attacker, your detailed incident response plan is ineffective. This is why we:
- Automate threat containment to stop the spread of attacks and reduce attacker dwell time
- Investigate and validate contained threats manually, and create a detailed incident response plan to evict attackers
- Investigate threats faster and respond to them before you experience damages using the AIsaac® SOAR module.
