Cyberfort MXDR, Powered by Elastic
Managed detection and response that turns Elastic’s visibility into action.
Why organisations need Cyberfort MXDR powered by Elastic
Most organisations that have invested in SIEM tooling have already made the right first decision, centralising log and event data so a security threat can be seen rather than missed. That investment builds visibility. It does not, on its own, build a response capability able to act on what it sees at the speed a modern incident demands, every day of the year.
The gap between seeing a threat and stopping one is where operational risk actually sits, and it is a gap most organisations underestimate until they are asked to close it themselves.
The challenges with managing detection and response in-house
Running detection and response yourself, on top of a SIEM, creates problems that tooling alone cannot fix. From our experience at Cyberfort when we engage with customers who have bought off the shelf SIEM tools without supporting services we often see the following challenges:
Coverage gaps outside office hours – Attackers do not work nine to five, and a security team that does leaves the night, the weekend and the holiday period as the softest target on the calendar.
Rising Microsoft Sentinel costs – Microsoft Sentinel’s consumption-based pricing means spend rises directly with log volume, so cost becomes harder to forecast as your data estate grows; Elastic’s licensing gives more predictable cost, but few internal teams have the time or expertise to tune ingest and retention across both platforms to keep total spend under control.
Alert volume outpacing analyst capacity – A well-tuned SIEM surfaces more, not less, and without dedicated triage capacity the volume becomes noise your team learns to tune out, which is when the real alert gets missed.
The skills gap in detection engineering – Getting genuine value from Elastic means continuously tuning detection logic against a moving threat landscape, a specialist discipline most internal teams cannot resource alongside their daily workload.
Response that stalls at detection – Spotting an incident is not the same as containing it. Without an agreed, rehearsed response process behind the alert, detection becomes a report written after the damage is done.
The cost of building this in-house – Round-the-clock coverage, detection engineering and incident response each need dedicated people. Building all three as a standing capability is a cost few organisations can justify against the risk it addresses.

What are the business and technology outcomes you should be looking to achieve with your SIEM tools
Cyberfort MXDR, powered by Elastic, is built to deliver outcomes your board can measure, not just a dashboard your team has to watch. Key business and technology outcomes which can be achieved by deploying Elastic SIEM tooling and support Cyberfort services include:
Continuous coverage – Detection and response monitored around the clock, so the gap outside office hours closes for good.
Cyberfort blends Sentinel and Elastic SIEM under one managed service – We route data to whichever platform gives the best balance of coverage and cost for that data type, so your organisation gets broader detection without the unpredictable spend or the in-house effort of running and tuning two platforms separately.
Faster time to detect and respond – Skilled analysts triage and act on Elastic’s output against agreed service levels, rather than a queue that waits for someone to be free.
Detection that keeps pace with the threat – Ongoing tuning of detection logic against current attacker behaviour, not a rule set left as it was configured on day one.
Single-partner accountability – One team, one service, one point of accountability for the whole path from alert to resolution, no gap between the tool vendor and the response function.
Evidence for the board – Reporting that shows what was detected, and how it was handled, so security spend is something you can demonstrate, not just something you trust.
Who is this service for
Cyberfort MXDR powered by Elastic is built for organisations that recognise a widening gap between what they can see and what they can act on. The most common scenarios where we engage with customers to assess, deploy and run an MXDR service powered by Elastic SIEM are:
Organisations already running Elastic – Have a managed response capability layered directly onto your existing investment, rather than replacing it.
Organisations running Microsoft Sentinel and want more control over data ingestion costs – We work with organisations who want broader, more cost-predictable coverage without replacing their existing investment or managing two platforms in-house.
Security leaders without 24/7 cover – Close the out-of-hours gap without recruiting, training and retaining a round-the-clock team of your own.
Regulated and high-threat sector organisations – Meet the expectation of continuous monitoring and demonstrable response with a service built for scrutiny.
Lean security teams carrying broad responsibility – Free your team to focus on strategy and risk, while Cyberfort carries the operational weight of detection and response.
Ready to close the gap between seeing and stopping?
Your organisation has already made the case for visibility by investing in Elastic or is looking at how it can make its Microsoft Sentinel platform more cost effective. The next decision is what happens with what it shows you and whether that response is dependable.
Cyberfort MXDR, powered by Elastic, gives your organisation managed detection and response built around your platform, your risk and your obligations. Get in touch with Cyberfort at [email protected] to discuss what this looks like for your organisation.
