How Does Northwave’s Intel-Driven Approach Work?
The MDR service is delivered straight from our state-of-the-art Security Operations Center (SOC) in Utrecht. There, we monitor log data, endpoint telemetry and network traffic for threats based on your specific risk profile.
Insights from our Cyber Threat Analysts, Incident Response engagements, Red Team, and research fuel the continuous development of our proprietary detection log to maximise detection of new and emerging threats.

The result: your assets are defined, prioritised and monitored 24/7.

What is the difference between MDR and EDR?
Endpoint Detection and Response is focussed on detecting and responding to threats on the endpoint. Managed Detection and response typically detects threats on the endpoint, in log data and in network traffic. Additionally in MDR, data from these sources is correlated to detect suspicious activity and behaviour that would go unnoticed when looking at each source individually.
How does Northwave's MDR service differ from competitors?
Northwave does not solely rely on vendor tech to detect threats. Instead, we fuse insights from our IR engagements, adversary simulations and threat research into effective detection logic.
We work closely with our clients at operational, tactical and strategic levels to understand you threat landscape and risk profile. This enables us to tailor detection and response to your specific situation and help you improve your resilience.
