What is Managed XDR?
Managed Extended Detection and Response (Managed XDR) is a fully managed security operations service that combines people, process, and technology to protect your organization around the clock.
With DataComm Managed XDR, we:
- Gather and correlate telemetry from endpoints, identities, email, cloud services, and on-prem infrastructure
- Use advanced analytics and automation to cut through noise and highlight real threats
- Back everything with a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) staffed by experienced security analysts
Instead of trying to build and run a full SIEM/XDR stack on your own, you get a dedicated security team and a modern detection and response platform delivered as a service.
Why organizations choose Managed XDR
Today’s IT and security teams are under pressure:
- Ransomware and targeted attacks are growing in frequency and impact
- Security talent is hard to hire and even harder to retain
- Hybrid environments (on-prem, cloud, SaaS, and remote users) generate more alerts than most teams can realistically handle
Managed XDR helps close these gaps by providing continuous monitoring, expert analysis, and guided or hands-on response—without requiring you to build a 24/7 SOC from scratch.
How DataComm Managed XDR works
DataComm Managed XDR is built on a simple idea: combine a powerful XDR platform with a skilled security team that knows your environment.
Connect & Collect
We start by integrating your key data sources:
- Endpoints and servers
- Identity and access platforms
- Email security and collaboration tools
- Cloud platforms and on-prem network devices
We normalize and correlate this telemetry into a unified view so we can see attacks that span multiple systems and phases.
Detect & Analyze 24/7
Once connected, our SOC continuously monitors for suspicious behavior:
- Automated detections surface activities that matter most
- Context from users, devices, and past incidents is added to reduce false positives
- Human analysts review and validate alerts before they’re escalated to your team
The result: fewer noisy alerts for you, and faster identification of real threats
Respond & Contain Threats
When something serious happens, our team moves quickly:
- Isolating compromised endpoints
- Restricting or disabling risky accounts
- Blocking malicious IPs, domains, and URLs
- Providing clear, step-by-step guidance—or taking agreed-upon actions on your behalf
Our goal is to minimize dwell time, limit impact, and get you back to normal operations as quickly as possible.
Improve & Tune Continuously
Managed XDR is an ongoing partnership, not a one-time deployment:
- Regular health checks to ensure the right data is being collected
- Environment reviews to identify gaps and misconfigurations early
- Continuous tuning of rules, alerts, and playbooks to keep pace with your business and the threat landscape
Over time, your detection quality improves and your security operations become more efficient.
SecurCentral is DataComm’s fully managed XDR service, delivering unified detection, investigation, and response across your entire environment. It combines advanced analytics with 24/7 SOC expertise to identify and contain threats fast.
Key capabilities of DataComm Managed XDR
We’ve designed our service around four core pillars.
Broad visibility across your attack surface
DataComm Managed XDR provides coverage across:
- Endpoints, servers, and virtual machines
- User identities and access patterns
- Email and collaboration platforms
- Cloud resources and on-prem network infrastructure
This extended visibility helps uncover threats that move laterally or blend across multiple systems.
Accelerated threat detection
Our platform and processes are tuned to detect high-impact threats, including:
- Ransomware and destructive malware
- Account takeover and identity-based attacks
- Business email compromise
- Data exfiltration and suspicious lateral movement
Events are automatically correlated into incidents so you see the full story—not isolated alerts.
Response you can trust
When we escalate an incident, you get:
- A clear summary of what happened and what it means
- Recommended or pre-approved response actions
- Support from our SOC to contain and remediate the threat
Standard response playbooks are available out of the box, and we can develop custom workflows that match your policies and change control processes.
Relief for your internal team
DataComm Managed XDR reduces the day-to-day burden on your staff:
- We handle alert triage, enrichment, and investigation for the majority of events
- Your team focuses on decision-making, initiatives, and strategic improvement
- Our analysts work with you to align detections and reporting to your business and compliance priorities
What you get with DataComm Managed XDR
A typical engagement includes:
Who is DataComm Managed XDR for?
DataComm Managed XDR is a strong fit if:
- Your security or IT team is small, stretched, or on call “part-time” for security
- You’re operating in a hybrid world (on-prem, cloud, remote, SaaS) and need consistent visibility
- You’ve invested in tools but struggle to keep up with tuning, monitoring, and response
- Customers, partners, or regulators expect evidence of continuous security monitoring
USE CASES
Explore the Possible Applications of Managed XDR
Ransomware Defense
Identify early warning signs—like suspicious lateral movement, privilege escalation, or unusual process behavior—and move quickly to contain the threat before it encrypts systems.
Account Takeover & Business Email Compromise
Spot unusual sign-ins, mailbox rules, and email patterns that indicate compromised accounts. Take action to lock down accounts and stop fraudulent activity.
Cloud & Hybrid Security
Monitor cloud configurations, identity changes, and network activity to catch misconfigurations, exposed assets, and active attacks across hybrid environments.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions
Not quite. A traditional SOC-as-a-service often focuses on monitoring logs. Managed XDR goes further by unifying data from multiple security layers (endpoint, identity, email, cloud, network) and tightly integrating detection with response actions.
Not necessarily. In many cases, we integrate with what you already have. Where it makes sense, we may recommend specific enhancements to improve visibility or response.
We work alongside your team. DataComm Managed XDR takes on the heavy lifting of monitoring, triage, and investigation so your staff can focus on strategic work, projects, and oversight.
Once integrations and data sources are connected, organizations typically begin seeing value in days as detections and incident workflows go live. We build coverage in phases to give you early wins while we continue to expand and refine.
Absolutely. While Managed XDR itself isn’t a compliance framework, it provides the monitoring, alerting, documentation, and incident evidence that auditors, customers, and insurers expect.
Next steps
To tailor DataComm Managed XDR to your organization, we recommend capturing:
- Your current security stack (e.g., endpoint, email, identity, cloud platforms)
- Environment size and structure (users, locations, key applications)
- Any specific compliance, contractual, or cyber insurance requirements
