Fencecore takes cybersecurity seriously. That’s why we’re proud to share that we’ve leveraged our Platinum partnership with Sophos and have completed the upgrade of our clients’ current threat detection and response service from XDR to Sophos MDR (Managed Detection and Response).
This upgrade represents a significant strengthening in cybersecurity for Fencecore clients as we’ve integrated Sophos MDR into their existing cybersecurity environments. Thanks to careful planning and collaboration, the migration had zero downtime and no disruption to operations.
Why MDR Matters for Business
We won’t sugarcoat it: the current tech landscape is rife with cybersecurity threats in the form of aggressive ransomware and increasingly more complex phishing scams. Your company’s network and information have never been more vulnerable and most IT teams are struggling to keep up with the evolving threats. An MDR is critical for any modern business as it adds a necessary layer of protection and security to your systems that are monitored 24/7.
With the upgrade we just completed, Fencecore clients now benefit from:
- 24/7 network and security monitoring
- When a potential threat is detected, it’s reviewed by real security experts — not just software.
- Reduced mean-time-to-detect (MTTD)
- The MDR software handles the heavy lifting of threat detection and the Fencecore cybersecurity team ensures that any actions taken align with your business, your systems, and your people.
- Real-time investigation
- If your system is threatened, the MDR team immediately investigates and Fencecore stays in the loop and coordinates any further actions.
- Faster incident response time
- Clients get a security operations team without having to build one. Meanwhile, we focus on keeping your systems healthy and your team supported every day.
What is Sophos MDR?
Sophos MDR is a service Fencecore manages for you that detects and responds to cyberattacks targeting your computers, servers, networks, cloud workloads, email accounts, backups, and more. The goal of the Sophos MDR is to stop advanced human-led attacks and take immediate action to neutralize threats before they can disrupt your business operations or compromise your sensitive data.
The benefits of Sophos MDR are:
- 24/7 threat monitoring
- Sophos MDR security analysts monitor, investigate, and respond to threats 24/7— executing immediate, human-led response actions to stop confirmed threats.
- Accelerated threat response
- Sophos MDR experts can execute threat response actions on your behalf to disrupt, contain, and eliminate attackers with an industry-leading average threat response time of 38 minutes—96% faster than the industry benchmark.
- Stops what security tools miss
- Sophos MDR analysts perform proactive threat hunts to identify attacker behaviors that only a human can detect and rapidly eliminate threats that tools alone can’t stop.
- Improved ROI
- Sophos’ open, AI-native platform collects, filters, and correlates data from an extensive range of cybersecurity and IT tools, enabling Sophos MDR analysts to eliminate confirmed threats with speed, accuracy, and transparency.
Fencecore’s commitment is not just to technology, but to the ongoing security of every business we support.
