24x7 Monitoring.

Expert Investigation.

Measurable Security Outcomes.


SilverSky's MxDR helps organizations move from fragmented alerts to a managed security operation where suspicious activity is monitored, investigated, escalated, and documented. 

Through the Lightning Portal, customers can maintain visibility into security activity, investigation progress, escalations, reporting, and audit-supporting history.

SilverSky Lightning MxDR Traditional MDR Models
Continuous Security Operations
Ongoing monitoring informed by the customer’s environment, risk profile, escalation procedures, and security priorities.
Monitors security activity 24x7 using customer-specific context, defined detection logic, and established notification and escalation procedures.
May provide continuous alert monitoring with limited understanding of the customer’s environment, priorities, or response processes.
Threat Investigation
Analysts examine suspicious activity, correlate relevant signals, and determine whether the event represents a credible threat.
Experienced analysts validate suspicious activity, connect related signals, and determine what is credible, urgent, and actionable.
May perform basic alert triage before passing the event to the customer for further investigation.
Coordinated Response
Confirmed threats move through agreed escalation and response procedures so internal teams know what happened and what action should follow.
Escalates confirmed threats through agreed procedures and provides clear guidance and coordinated actions to help contain risk.
May notify the customer that a threat was detected while leaving response decisions and coordination primarily to the internal team.
Microsoft Security Optimization
Microsoft-native security capabilities are configured, tuned, and operated to improve visibility, reduce unnecessary noise, and support stronger investigations.
Tunes and operates Microsoft Defender XDR, Sentinel, Entra ID, and related capabilities to improve signal quality, visibility, and investigation workflows.
May ingest Microsoft alerts without providing meaningful configuration, tuning, or continued optimization.
Threat Intelligence
Current intelligence about attacker behavior, emerging threats, and malicious infrastructure helps analysts evaluate suspicious activity more effectively.
Applies current threat intelligence alongside customer-specific context to strengthen detection and support more informed investigations.
May rely primarily on standard threat feeds with limited application to the customer’s environment.
Security Partnership
Ongoing guidance, communication, reporting, and tuning help the MxDR service evolve with the customer’s environment and security needs.
Works as an extension of the customer’s team through ongoing communication, reporting, tuning, service reviews, and continued security improvement.
May remain focused primarily on monitoring and escalating alerts within a predefined service scope.

Security Operations Built for Modern Threats

Most cybersecurity programs do not suffer from a lack of tools. They suffer from a lack of time, visibility, and operational capacity.

Security technologies generate constant alerts. Without the right expertise and response process, important threats can be missed while internal teams work to determine what is real, what is urgent, and what requires action.

SilverSky’s MxDR service helps organizations move from alert volume to operational clarity. Our security operations team monitors activity, investigates suspicious events, escalates confirmed risks, and provides guidance to help customers respond with confidence.

Talk to a Security Expert

Every SilverSky MxDR Model is built on a common operating foundation: 
  • 24x7 security monitoring by experienced security analysts

  • Expert investigation of suspicious activity

  • Fewer false alarms and clearer escalation

  • Response guidance based on your environment. 

  • Customer-specific notification and escalation procedures

  • Reporting, visibility, and audit-supporting activity history

  • Ongoing tuning and security improvement
