Managed XDR

Managed Detection & Response

Sovereign Australian XDR powered by 18 global SOCs, AWS Australia hosting and 24x7 human-checked response.

Every alert touched by a human.

Vectra Managed XDR runs on the Ensign InfoSecurity global SOC network - 18 24x7 SOCs - paired with a sovereign Australian data plane on AWS Australia. All telemetry, playbooks and staff stay onshore, subject only to Australian law. AI-driven triage and SOAR playbooks cut dwell time. A human analyst still makes the call on every escalation. The platform is vendor-agnostic. We work on your existing EDR, SIEM and cloud stack, or stand one up and run it for you as a single vendor.

Managed Microsoft Sentinel

Already on Microsoft 365? We run Microsoft Sentinel for you.

Many organisations rely on Microsoft 365, so Microsoft Sentinel is the obvious choice of SIEM. Running it well is the hard part. Compliance needs, lack of time, skills gaps and no spare staff make it slow and costly to build in-house, whether you work from risk or from compliance.

Our SOC in Australia runs Sentinel for you as a full service. If it is already set up, we take it over. If not, we help you design and build it first. It covers assets on-premises, in the cloud or both.

Sentinel helps with insider threats, user behaviour, critical data protection, advanced and persistent threats, cloud security, incident response, compliance, and risk and vulnerabilities.

Why teams bet their SOC on Vectra XDR.

Sovereign by design

Platform hosted on AWS Australia with Australian-based analysts and IRAP-assessed tools. Data, staff and playbooks stay onshore, subject only to Australian law.

Unified security stack

Built-in detection from Qualys, Tenable, Check Point, CrowdStrike and the wider tier-one vendor mesh. You're never locked into one vendor.

Global intel, local delivery

Part of Ensign InfoSecurity, APAC's largest pure-play cybersecurity firm. Threat intel from 18 global SOCs, applied to your Australian estate.

Simple, all-in pricing

A per-asset monthly rate covers people, platform, playbooks and escalation. No per-alert metering, no surprise licence bills, no surge fees.

How the SOC runs, every day.

  1. Step 1: Ingest

    A vendor-neutral pipeline normalises EDR, identity, cloud, network and SaaS logs into a single sovereign data plane.

  2. Step 2: Monitor

    24x7 behavioural analytics compare your baseline with Ensign global threat intel from 18 SOCs.

  3. Step 3: Respond

    Pre-approved SOAR playbooks contain in minutes. Every escalation is named, tracked and logged.

  4. Step 4: Improve

    Monthly detection review, quarterly threat-model refresh, annual red-team assumption test. The baseline never stays still.

What the service covers.

Expert threat detection

24x7 visibility across endpoint, identity, cloud and network telemetry. Combined in one platform by one team.

SIEM-as-a-service

Managed Sentinel, Splunk, Chronicle, Elastic or DEVO. We own the platform, content, tuning and workflow. You own the value.

Environment tuning

We normalise data, cut noise and tune detection rules against your baseline - not a generic ruleset.

Intelligent SOAR

Automated triage and response playbooks cut mean time to resolve. Hours become minutes.

Real-time alert triage

Analyst-checked alerts with full context, an evidence chain and a suggested containment action ready for approval.

Regulator-ready reporting

Audit trails, evidence packs and executive summaries. Aligned to APRA CPS 234, SOCI Act, IRAP and Essential Eight.

Built for tier-less modern security ops.

24x7 human-checked monitoring

Every escalation reaches a named analyst. No auto-closed tickets. No "possible threat" verdicts. No dashboard-only products.

AI + ML-assisted detection

DEVO SIEM compares behavioural baselines with global threat intel. It finds anomalies signature-based tools miss.

SOAR-automated containment

Pre-approved playbooks isolate hosts, revoke sessions and quarantine identities within minutes. Once confirmed.

Tier-less SOC ops

Flat escalation model. Your team speaks directly to the analyst working the incident, not tier-one triage staff.

Fast detection and containment

Analysts check every alert as it happens, and pre-approved playbooks contain threats quickly.

Ongoing compliance reporting

Monthly business-context reports for execs, weekly detection-tuning reports for engineers. Ready for APRA, SOCI, IRAP.

The metrics that move after day one.

  • Fast, analyst-checked detection of the threats your environment faces

  • Analyst-checked escalations with full context, an evidence chain and a suggested containment action.

  • Containment playbooks run from the portal. Full audit trail for APRA CPS 234, SOCI Act and Essential Eight reporting

  • Direct-line escalation to the senior IR team, with no call-tree and no tier-one screening.

  • Sovereign data plane on AWS Australia. Telemetry never leaves the jurisdiction

XDR questions our customers start with.

Do you bring your own tools, or run ours?

Both. We work with any platform - CrowdStrike, Microsoft Sentinel, SentinelOne, Splunk, Chronicle, Elastic or DEVO. If you don't have a stack yet, we'll recommend one that fits your needs and budget.

Where are your analysts based?

Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane, part of an 18-SOC global Ensign footprint. All Australian citizens, all background-checked, and clearable to AGSVA Baseline or higher on request.

Is my data actually sovereign?

Yes. The SIEM data plane sits inside AWS Australia (ap-southeast-2 / ap-southeast-4). Telemetry, playbooks and staff remain onshore, subject only to Australian law.

What's the typical onboarding time?

Four to six weeks for a full go-live, with rolling detection coverage. We can stand up emergency monitoring in 72 hours for active incidents.

How do you charge?

Per-asset monthly pricing gives you a steady run rate, plus a one-time onboarding engagement. We don't meter per-alert or per-incident - that rewards the wrong behaviour.

What if we already have an internal SOC team?

Plenty of customers run hybrid. We handle 24x7 coverage and off-hours response. Your team owns business-hours investigations and detection work. Named IR escalation still reaches the shared queue.

What happens in a declared incident?

Containment starts within minutes via SOAR. A named senior analyst leads the investigation. Full forensic capture, cleanup and a written post-incident review are included - not just a status update.
