About Us

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) combines 24/7 monitoring, advanced threat detection, and active incident response to stop threats before they cause damage. Unlike traditional monitoring solutions, PlutoSec investigates verified threats and takes action to contain them quickly.

Our MDR service protects endpoints, networks, cloud environments, email, and identity systems. By correlating security signals and applying expert threat analysis, we reduce false positives and help your team focus on real threats that matter.

  5. 5.

Why Choose PlutoSec for MDR

24/7 Security Monitoring You Can Rely On

The gap between MDR providers is not in their marketing, it is in what happens at 2am when your environment shows signs of an active intrusion. PlutoSec's MDR team is staffed by experienced security professionals holding OSCP, CISSP, CEH, and CompTIA CySA+ credentials. We do not use a tiered ticket queue for critical incidents. When a high severity threat is confirmed, a qualified analyst contacts your designated point of contact directly and begins containment steps immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure how it applies to your environment? Our engineers are happy to talk it through.

What is the difference between MDR and MSSP?

Traditional MSSPs typically monitor and forward alerts for your team to investigate. MDR providers, including PlutoSec, investigate alerts and take active containment steps on your behalf. The R in MDR means we respond, not just report.

How long does onboarding take?
Most environments are fully onboarded and actively monitored within two to four weeks. Complex multi-cloud or hybrid environments may take slightly longer depending on the number of data sources being integrated.
Do you replace our existing security tools?
Not necessarily. PlutoSec MDR is designed to integrate with and extend the security tools you have already invested in, including leading EDR platforms, firewalls, and SIEM solutions. We work alongside your existing stack, not instead of it.
What happens during an active incident?
When a high-severity threat is confirmed, a PlutoSec analyst contacts your designated point of contact immediately. We take agreed containment steps, provide real-time updates, and produce a full post-incident report with root cause analysis and remediation guidance.
Is MDR suitable for small and mid-sized Canadian businesses?
Absolutely. MDR is particularly well suited to organizations that lack a dedicated security team but face real threat exposure. PlutoSec offers tiered MDR programs designed to fit the budgets and risk profiles of Canadian SMBs without compromising on analyst quality or response capability.
