The response gaps managed detection and response closes for UK businesses
Many businesses have alerts in place but lack the capacity to act on them quickly.
29mins
Attackers move faster than we can respond
CrowdStrike’s 2026 Global Threat Report found the average eCrime breakout time fell to 29 minutes in 2025, with the fastest just 27 seconds. An alert left until morning has already been missed.

Attackers who log in rather than
break in
Stolen credentials look like normal activity, so spotting them takes investigation across identity, endpoint and network data. Sophos’s Active Adversary Report 2026 found 67% of the incidents its teams investigated were rooted in identity attacks.

32%
Nobody in house to contain threats
Around a third of UK businesses (32%) lack confidence in dealing with cyber breaches or attacks, the UK Government’s Cyber security skills in the UK labour market 2025 report found. A flagged threat still needs containing.

Cybit's analysts investigate and contain around the clock, with the authority to act rather than simply alert.
Introduction
Threats detected, investigated and contained around the clock
Managed detection and response combines telemetry from endpoints, networks and identity systems with 24/7 human led investigation, so a confirmed threat is contained, not just flagged. Cybit’s MDR service takes that investigation and response burden away from internal teams. Businesses need this once alert volume has outgrown what an internal team can realistically triage.
Our Delivery Framework
Why Choose Cybit
The test of a detection service is what happens at two in the morning when something real fires. Ours investigates and contains under agreed authority, rather than sending an alert to an inbox nobody is reading until Monday. That authority is agreed with you in advance, so the analyst acting is doing something you sanctioned rather than something they are waiting for permission to do. Ask us how many of last month’s alerts in your environment would have been contained without waking anyone up.

Data
Business Driver
Gartner recorded MDR adoption growth of 67% from 2021 through 2022, and its market guidance has since moved the baseline expectation from alerting to outcome driven containment. Detection without response was never the finished product.

Frequently Asked Questions
MDR combines telemetry from endpoints, networks and identity systems with 24/7 human led investigation, so a confirmed threat is contained rather than only flagged.
A SOC detects and escalates. MDR investigates and acts. If your team does not have capacity to respond to escalations out of hours, escalation alone does not solve the problem.
Only within authority you agree in advance, documented and scoped. Most organisations authorise containment actions such as isolating a device, and retain approval for anything broader.
Usually once alert volume has outgrown what an internal team can realistically triage, or once the business can no longer accept threats sitting unexamined overnight and at weekends.
Faster than most internal teams can manage out of hours. CrowdStrike's 2026 Global Threat Report found the average eCrime breakout time, the time from first access to moving through a network, fell to 29 minutes in 2025.
