Frequently Asked Questions
We can imagine that you have many questions. You can always contact us to learn more. Below are a few examples of questions that we can investigate further with you.
What does the implementation process look like?
When you sign up for MDR, an implementation plan will be drafted where all service elements, implementation phases, planning and (threat based) use cases are described.Once agreed, the implementation will start with onboarding the log sources and implementing the processes.
During the implementation period, we expect you to be available for the onboarding of log sources and the implementation of processes. Don’t worry, we will guide you through all the steps and we are always there to help you!
What does risk based monitoring mean?
Today's security monitoring technology is capable of completely overwhelming a security team with alerts, no matter how many experts you throw at it.
For effective security, it is important to focus your efforts where it matters. Northwave manages the flow of alerts at the source; onboarding starts with a detailed assessment of your specific business and security risks.
Based on this risk assessment, your detection is tailored and tuned to your specific situation so you can rest assured that your key assets are protected.
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.
