24/7 SOC Monitoring with Active Threat Containment

Managed Detection & Response

Your business generates thousands of security events daily. Most are noise. A few are real threats that need immediate action. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) from LayerLogix puts 24/7 human analysts between those events and your business — triaging every alert, hunting for hidden threats, and actively containing attacks when they're confirmed. Not advisory-only — active response. When our SOC detects a threat at 2 AM, we isolate the device, kill the process, and call you after it's contained.

What We Offer

Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses

24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC)

U.S.-based security analysts monitoring your environment around the clock — nights, weekends, and holidays. Every alert is triaged by a human analyst, not just an automated rule. False positives are filtered; real threats are escalated and acted on immediately.

Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

Behavioral endpoint monitoring deployed across every workstation, laptop, and server. Our EDR platform detects ransomware, fileless attacks, living-off-the-land techniques, and zero-day malware that traditional antivirus misses — then automatically isolates compromised devices.

Active Threat Containment

When our SOC confirms a threat, we don't just send you an email. We actively contain it — isolating affected endpoints from your network, killing malicious processes, blocking attacker IPs, and revoking compromised credentials. Containment happens in minutes, not hours.

Threat Hunting

Proactive hunting for threats that evade automated detection. Our analysts use threat intelligence, behavioral analytics, and hypothesis-driven investigation to find advanced persistent threats (APTs) hiding in your environment before they trigger an alert.

SIEM & Log Correlation

Security Information and Event Management that correlates logs from endpoints, firewalls, cloud platforms, email, and identity systems. Individual events that look benign in isolation become visible attack chains when correlated across data sources.

Incident Response Integration

When a significant incident is detected, our MDR seamlessly transitions into full incident response — forensic investigation, evidence preservation, regulatory notification support, and post-incident remediation. No gap between detection and response.

Why Choose LayerLogix?

Serving businesses throughout the Greater Houston area including Houston, The Woodlands, Spring, Katy, Sugar Land, Conroe, Pearland, Dallas, Austin.

Detection Without the SOC Overhead

Building an internal SOC costs $1M+ annually in staffing, tools, and infrastructure. MDR delivers the same 24/7 detection and response capability at a fraction of the cost through shared resources and specialized expertise.

Human Analysts — Not Just Automation

Automated tools generate thousands of alerts. Most are false positives. Our human analysts triage every alert, reducing noise to only the threats that matter — and taking immediate action when they find something real.

Active Response, Not Advisory

Many MDR providers only alert and advise. We actively contain threats — isolating devices, blocking attackers, and remediating compromised systems. The difference between "we told you about it" and "we stopped it" is the difference that matters at 2 AM.

Compliance-Ready

MDR satisfies the 24/7 monitoring requirements for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and CMMC. Our detection and response documentation provides the evidence your auditors and cyber insurers need.

Continuous Improvement

Monthly threat reports show what was detected, what was stopped, and what trends are emerging in your environment and industry. Quarterly tuning reviews reduce false positives and sharpen detection rules based on your specific threat profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MDR and EDR?
EDR is the technology — endpoint detection software deployed on your devices. MDR is the service — 24/7 human analysts monitoring that EDR (plus SIEM, firewalls, and cloud logs), triaging alerts, hunting for threats, and actively containing incidents. EDR without MDR means alerts pile up with nobody watching. MDR without EDR means analysts lack endpoint visibility. You need both — and our MDR service includes the EDR platform.
How fast do you respond to confirmed threats?
Our target is under 15 minutes from detection to containment for critical threats. When our SOC confirms a true positive, containment actions (device isolation, process termination, credential revocation) begin immediately — before your team is even notified. You get a phone call after the threat is contained, not before.
What happens during a major incident?
MDR transitions seamlessly into full incident response. Our SOC handles initial containment, then our IR team takes over for forensic investigation, evidence preservation, scope assessment, regulatory notification support, and remediation. No gap between detection and response — no scrambling to find an IR firm at 2 AM.
Do we need MDR if we already have a firewall and antivirus?
Yes. Firewalls and antivirus are necessary but insufficient. Modern attacks use fileless techniques, living-off-the-land binaries, stolen credentials, and AI-generated payloads that bypass signature-based tools. MDR provides the behavioral detection, log correlation, and human analysis that catches what your firewall and AV miss.
How much does MDR cost?
MDR pricing is per-endpoint per month, typically ranging from $15-$40 depending on the number of endpoints, log sources, and response SLA. For a 50-endpoint business, that's $750-$2,000/month for 24/7 SOC coverage. Compare that to the $1.4M average cost of a ransomware incident — MDR pays for itself the first time it prevents one.
