Intrinsic Security's Managed Cyber Defence Center is a comprehensive Cyber Defence Center-as-a-Service offering that provides organisations with the people, processes, and technology of a mature Cyber Defence Center, delivered at a fraction of the cost of an equivalent in-house build.
Intrinsic Security operates as an extension of the client's internal team, monitoring the entire IT environment — from endpoints and networks to cloud infrastructure — to detect, analyse, triage, and respond to threats in real time.
Establishing an in-house, 24/7/365 Cyber Defence Center is a substantial and complex undertaking.
Organisations must manage specialist people, enterprise security technology, detection engineering and continuous operational coverage — while still ensuring that genuine threats are identified quickly.
Critical threats can emerge at any time. Managed Cyber Defence Center provides continuous security operations without requiring organisations to build and maintain the entire capability themselves.
Enterprise-grade SIEM licensing, infrastructure and specialist administration require substantial ongoing investment.
Maintaining qualified analysts across a 24/7/365 shift rotation creates significant recruitment and operational challenges.
Detection use-cases must constantly evolve to remain effective against changing attacker behaviour.
High volumes of security alerts can overwhelm internal teams and make it harder to identify genuine threats.
Every threat entering Intrinsic Security's detection pipeline follows a consistent, repeatable methodology. There is no alert forwarding and no shortcuts — clients receive clear, actionable outcomes.
Intrinsic Security deploys and manages the SIEM platform, collecting logs from critical assets including servers, firewalls, endpoints, and cloud infrastructure. Data is enriched using Intrinsic Security's threat intelligence capability to provide context before analysis.
Custom-built detection use-cases correlate events and identify genuine threats. Continuous 24/7/365 analysis investigates potential incidents and filters false positives, ensuring escalations are reserved for confirmed findings.
Confirmed threats are triaged according to severity from P1–P4 and escalated to the client's team with a clear, actionable plan. Escalations include full context and recommended next steps rather than raw alert data.
Intrinsic Security's analysts work directly alongside the client's team, providing expert guidance to contain threats and remediate the underlying cause, helping ensure the threat actor is removed and the associated vulnerability is closed.
Eight core capabilities underpin the Managed Cyber Defence Center service, each delivered as a continuous, standing capability rather than a one-off engagement.
Continuous, round-the-clock monitoring of the entire IT environment — endpoints, networks, cloud, and connected infrastructure — with no gaps in coverage.
Deployment, management, and ongoing optimisation of the SIEM platform to ensure detection capability remains accurate and current.
Detection rules developed specifically for the client's environment, industry, and threat profile rather than relying solely on generic templates.
Every alert is investigated by a human analyst, distinguishing genuine threats from noise and providing clear, prioritised findings.
Confirmed incidents are escalated with severity ratings, impact assessment, and recommended actions rather than unfiltered alert data.
Analysts provide real-time guidance to the client's team through containment and remediation activity during an active incident.
Centralised log collection and retention aligned to compliance requirements and available to support forensic investigation where required.
Intrinsic Security's threat intelligence capability enriches detections with real-world attacker context, including indicators of compromise, threat actor profiling, and emerging campaign data relevant to the client's industry and region.
Managed Cyber Defence Center is the operational foundation of Intrinsic Security's Managed Security Services. It brings people, processes and technology together into one continuously operating security capability.
Security telemetry is collected, enriched and analysed by human security analysts, ensuring genuine threats are identified and supported through rapid containment and remediation.
Managed Cyber Defence Center provides the operational layer that connects Intrinsic Security's wider managed security capabilities into a coordinated defensive service.
