Our Managed Cyber Defence (MCD) service is designed to help organisations detect and respond to potential cyber threats.

What is Managed Cyber Defence?
A 24x7 Managed Detection and Response service delivering comprehensive security visibility, integrated threat intelligence, 100% triage automation and PwC’s global detection engineering capability. Our clients achieve improved threat detection accuracy, reduced response times and reduced Security Operations workload.
Overcoming the complexities of cybersecurity
As the boundaries of organisations blur, detecting potentially malicious threats across complex environments has become increasingly difficult. With multiple toolsets and a lack of security visibility, distinguishing real threats from noise and false positives can be time-consuming. Our MCD service addresses these challenges by providing full security visibility across networks, endpoints, servers, and the cloud. We leverage automation, threat intelligence, and expert hunting skills to improve threat visibility, reduce analyst workload, and significantly reduce breach probability and impact.
