Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provides organisations with continuous cyber defence, identifying and stopping threats before they cause operational disruption or financial damage. Traditional security tools alone are no longer enough to prevent modern attacks, which is why Amicis Group delivers Managed Detection and Response as a fully managed, expert led service operating around the clock to detect, investigate and respond to threats in real time.
Cyber-attacks no longer target only large enterprises. Organisations of every size face increasingly sophisticated threats capable of bypassing traditional security controls. The difference today is not whether attacks occur, but how quickly they are detected and contained.
Detect threats early. Respond faster. Keep your business operating.
Amicis Group’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service provides continuous, expert led cyber defence designed to identify, investigate and stop threats before they disrupt your operations. Operating 24 hours a day, our security specialists monitor your environment in real time, acting as an extension of your team to protect your users, systems and data.
Rather than relying on a single security platform, Amicis combines leading detection technologies, threat intelligence and human expertise into one unified managed service. The result is enterprise grade protection delivered with clarity, flexibility and accountability.

What is Managed Detection and Response?
Managed Detection and Response is a fully managed cyber security capability that continuously monitors your organisation for signs of malicious activity and responds rapidly when threats are identified.
Unlike traditional security monitoring, MDR goes beyond alerting. It combines advanced detection technology with experienced analysts who investigate suspicious behaviour, validate genuine threats and take action to contain and remediate incidents.
In practical terms, MDR provides your organisation with the operational capability of a Security Operations Centre without the cost or complexity of building one internally.
With Amicis MDR, telemetry from endpoints, identity systems, cloud platforms and networks is continuously analysed and enriched with real world threat intelligence. When suspicious activity occurs, our analysts investigate immediately, prioritise risk and initiate response actions to minimise impact.
This approach helps organisations move from reactive security to continuous cyber resilience.
Speak to an MDR SpecialistWhy Organisations Need MDR Today
Modern cyber attacks move quickly, often exploiting identity, cloud services or trusted access rather than traditional vulnerabilities. Many organisations already deploy security tools, yet lack the time, expertise or resources required to monitor and respond to alerts around the clock.
Common challenges include:
- Security alerts without clear prioritisation
- Limited internal cyber security expertise
- Increasing regulatory and insurance expectations
- Growing attack sophistication targeting users and identities
- Pressure on IT teams managing operational responsibilities alongside security
Managed Detection and Response addresses these challenges by providing constant visibility, expert investigation and decisive response, reducing risk while easing pressure on internal teams.
The Benefits of Amicis Managed Detection and Response
As organisations grow, so does their exposure to cyber risk. Increased cloud adoption, hybrid working, supplier connectivity and regulatory expectations demand a more advanced approach to security monitoring and response.
Amicis MDR provides the visibility, expertise and operational capability needed to protect modern environments without increasing internal complexity.
Continuous visibility across your organisation
Gain real time insight into activity across endpoints, identities, cloud platforms and networks, ensuring threats cannot operate unnoticed.
Faster detection and response
Security incidents are investigated and contained quickly by experienced analysts, reducing dwell time and limiting operational disruption.
Reduced pressure on internal teams
Our specialists manage monitoring, investigation and response activities, allowing internal IT teams to focus on business priorities rather than security alerts.
Expert led decision making
Alerts are analysed by cyber security professionals who understand attacker behaviour, eliminating noise and prioritising genuine risk.
Supports compliance and assurance
MDR strengthens your security posture and supports frameworks such as Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 and evolving regulatory expectations.
Security that evolves with your organisation
As your environment grows or changes, MDR adapts, integrating new technologies and telemetry without requiring major redesign
How Amicis MDR Works
Amicis MDR delivers continuous protection through a structured detection and response lifecycle designed to identify threats early and act decisively.
1. Collect
Security telemetry is gathered from endpoints, identities, cloud services and networks to provide comprehensive visibility.
2. Analyse
Advanced analytics and behavioural monitoring identify suspicious activity and correlate signals across environments.
3. Investigate
Our analysts triage and investigate alerts 24/7, distinguishing genuine threats from normal operational activity.
4. Respond
When incidents are confirmed, response actions are initiated to contain threats, protect systems and minimise disruption.
This process operates continuously, providing active defence rather than passive monitoring.
Why Choose Amicis for MDR?
Expertise led, not platform limited
Unlike single platform MDR providers, Amicis Group delivers protection through a carefully integrated combination of leading security technologies supported by experienced cyber security specialists.
We select and manage the most effective tools for your environment, combining them into one unified managed service. This vendor agnostic approach ensures your protection evolves as threats and business requirements change, without technology lock in.
Built for organisations moving beyond baseline security
MDR is ideal for organisations that have outgrown basic monitoring or packaged security services and require continuous operational defence aligned to business risk.
A natural progression from CyberGuard
For many clients, MDR represents the next stage of cyber maturity. While CyberGuard establishes strong foundational protection, MDR introduces continuous threat detection, investigation and response capability, providing deeper visibility and faster intervention when threats occur.
One partner, complete accountability
Amicis acts as a trusted security partner, integrating technology, expertise and response into a single service with clear ownership and accountability.
What Amicis MDR Covers
Modern cyber threats do not target a single system. Attackers move across identities, endpoints, cloud platforms and networks, exploiting gaps between technologies rather than weaknesses within one tool.
Amicis MDR delivers unified visibility and protection across your entire digital environment.
Endpoint protection
Continuous monitoring of user devices and servers to detect malware, ransomware, fileless attacks and suspicious behaviour.
Identity monitoring
Detection of credential misuse, privilege escalation and abnormal authentication activity, protecting what has become the primary attack vector for modern threats.
Cloud security
Visibility across cloud infrastructure and SaaS platforms, identifying misconfigurations, unauthorised access and suspicious activity within services such as Microsoft 365, Azure and AWS.
Network activity monitoring
Analysis of network behaviour to identify lateral movement, command and control activity and data exfiltration attempts.
Hybrid environments
Protection spanning on premises infrastructure, remote users and cloud workloads, ensuring consistent defence regardless of how your organisation operates.
By correlating signals across these areas, Amicis MDR identifies threats that individual security tools alone may miss.
MDR vs Traditional Security Monitoring
Many organisations already have monitoring tools or outsourced security support, yet still struggle to respond effectively to incidents. Understanding the difference between traditional monitoring and Managed Detection and Response is essential.
| Traditional Monitoring | Managed Detection and Response |
| Generates alerts | Investigates and validates threats |
| Tool focused | Outcome focused |
| Reactive response | Proactive threat hunting |
| Requires internal analysis | Expert led investigation |
| Limited context | Correlated, environment wide visibility |
| Alerts handed off | Response actions initiated |
Traditional monitoring tells you something may be wrong. MDR determines what matters and takes action.
This shift allows organisations to move from alert fatigue to operational confidence.
When is MDR the Right Next Step?
MDR is typically the right choice for organisations experiencing one or more of the following:
- Rapid business growth or digital transformation
- Increased reliance on cloud platforms or remote working
- Regulatory or compliance pressure
- Cyber insurance requirements becoming more demanding
- Internal IT teams stretched by operational responsibilities
- A desire for greater assurance at leadership or board level
For many organisations, MDR represents the natural progression from foundational cyber security controls to continuous operational defence.
