Managed Detection & Response
Managed Detection & Response Charlotte NC
24/7 Threat Monitoring, Automated Containment, and Expert-Led Incident Response
AOW Technologies monitors your endpoints, network, and cloud environments around the clock. Low-risk threats are contained automatically. High-severity incidents are escalated immediately with a recommended action plan — so your team always knows what happened, what was stopped, and what to do next.
What AOW MDR Covers
AOW MDR covers every layer of your environment — endpoints, network, cloud, identity, and email — with detection and response capabilities that go far beyond what antivirus or a firewall can do.
24/7 Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Every endpoint — laptops, desktops, servers — is monitored continuously for malicious behavior, suspicious processes, and lateral movement. Threats are detected in real time and contained before they spread.
Network Traffic Analysis & Anomaly Detection
AOW analyzes your network traffic patterns to identify command-and-control communications, data exfiltration attempts, and unusual lateral movement that signature-based tools miss entirely.
Cloud & Microsoft 365 Monitoring
We monitor your Microsoft 365 environment, Azure workloads, and cloud infrastructure for account compromise, suspicious sign-ins, privilege escalation, and data access anomalies — in real time.
Threat Hunting
Our analysts proactively search your environment for indicators of compromise that haven't triggered an alert yet — finding attackers who are already inside before they execute their payload.
Automated Threat Containment
Low-risk and confirmed threats are contained automatically — isolating infected endpoints, blocking malicious IPs, and revoking compromised credentials — without waiting for manual approval and losing critical response time.
Incident Investigation & Root Cause Analysis
When a threat is detected, AOW analysts investigate the full attack chain — how the attacker got in, what they accessed, and what was affected — and deliver a plain-language incident report with remediation steps.
SIEM Log Correlation & Alerting
Security event logs from across your environment are ingested, correlated, and analyzed by our SIEM platform. Noise is filtered out. Real threats surface as prioritized, actionable alerts — not a flood of false positives.
Ransomware Rollback & Recovery Support
In the event of a ransomware attack, AOW supports rapid rollback using integrated backup and recovery tools — minimizing downtime and data loss while our team works to eradicate the threat and harden your environment.
MDR vs. Antivirus vs. SIEM-Only
Not all security tools are the same. Here's what you actually get with AOW MDR.
| Capability | Antivirus | SIEM Only | AOW MDR |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24/7 human-backed monitoring | |||
| Behavioral threat detection | |||
| Automated threat containment | |||
| Threat hunting | |||
| Incident investigation & root cause | |||
| Cloud & M365 monitoring | |||
| Ransomware rollback support | |||
| Compliance documentation & reporting |
Partial = capability exists but requires significant manual configuration or analyst time to operationalize.
How AOW MDR Works
From initial deployment to ongoing threat response — AOW owns every step of the MDR lifecycle.
Deploy & Baseline
AOW deploys lightweight sensors across your endpoints, network, and cloud environments. We establish a behavioral baseline for your organization — so we know what normal looks like before we start hunting for abnormal.
Monitor & Detect
Our platform ingests telemetry from every layer of your environment 24/7. Machine learning models and AOW analysts work in tandem to separate real threats from noise — with sub-15-minute mean detection times.
Contain & Investigate
Confirmed threats are contained automatically or with one-click approval depending on severity. AOW analysts investigate the full attack chain and deliver a plain-language incident report with root cause and impact scope.
Remediate & Harden
After containment, AOW guides your team through remediation — patching the entry point, hardening configurations, and updating detection rules so the same attack vector can't be used again.
The Cost of Detecting a Threat Too Late
The longer an attacker stays in your environment, the more expensive the outcome.
MDR Satisfies Continuous Monitoring Requirements Across Every Framework
AOW MDR generates the audit logs, incident reports, and monitoring evidence your compliance frameworks require.
| Framework | Monitoring Requirement | AOW Covers It |
|---|---|---|
| HIPAA | Audit controls & activity monitoring (§164.312(b)) | |
| PCI DSS | Monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data (Req. 10) | |
| SOC 2 | Continuous monitoring and anomaly detection (CC7.2) | |
| Cyber Insurance | 24/7 monitoring and documented incident response required by most SMB policies | |
| CMMC / NIST 800-171 | SI.3.218 — Monitor organizational systems to detect attacks and indicators of potential attacks | |
| NIST CSF | DE.CM — Security Continuous Monitoring category |
