Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
Intelligent cloud security for rapid detection and response
LRQA hold the Microsoft Solutions Partner designation for Security Solutions
The demand for scalable and flexible cyber security solutions has never been greater and with cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, traditional security measures fall short.
Our Managed XDR services are an intelligent choice for cloud security, designed to swiftly detect and respond to emerging threats while redefining the way organisations approach cyber security in the cloud era.
By integrating data from multiple sources, including endpoints, networks, and cloud environments, XDR provides an extended detection and response capability that identifies, prioritises, and neutralises threats before they can impact your organisation. Our expert team continuously monitors your systems, ensuring that you stay ahead of even the most sophisticated cyber threats.

Managed XDR capability
SIEM Capability
Our Managed XDR leverages advanced SIEM technology, combining the latest in security innovation and AI to deliver near real-time intelligent security analytics, providing a comprehensive overview of your entire IT estate.
The solution allows you to consume security-related data from diverse sources, including on-premises and cloud environments. It can be integrated into leading cloud SIEM solutions such as Microsoft Sentinel or CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM, reducing the need for complex and costly infrastructure management and offering a scalable, cloud-native SIEM that adapts to your evolving needs.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Capability
Our Managed XDR includes enterprise-grade EDR solutions designed to help networks prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across all assets. The EDR suite offers robust protection, including antivirus, antimalware, ransomware mitigation, and more, with centralised management and reporting.
- Endpoint behavioural sensors: Embedded in deployed agents, these sensors collect and process behavioural signals from operating systems, sending data to a secure, private cloud instance.
- Cloud security analytics: Utilises big data, machine learning, and a vast array of insights from various sources to translate behavioural signals into actionable insights, detections, and responses to advanced threats.
- Threat intelligence: Powered by leading global threat intelligence feeds, enabling the identification of attacker tools, techniques, and procedures, and generating alerts based on observed activity.
