What MDR Should Mean

More than somebody watching another alert queue.

Too many MDR services still stop at detection, triage and a recommendation for the customer to clean up the incident. Falcon Complete is built around a different operating model: investigate the threat, take approved containment actions and drive remediation through to resolution.

If your internal team receives an urgent ticket at 2:00am telling them what they now need to fix, much of the operational problem still belongs to you.

Alert-led MDR

Detect. Escalate. Hand back.

  • Alert is generated
  • Analyst validates severity
  • Customer receives a ticket
  • Internal team investigates further
  • Customer coordinates containment
  • Customer owns remediation
Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR

Detect. Investigate. Contain. Remediate.

  • 24×7 expert-led monitoring
  • Threat hunting and investigation
  • Cross-domain attack context
  • Approved containment actions
  • Full-cycle remediation
  • Continuous defensive improvement
Agentic MDR in 2026

Human expertise, automation and AI agents working as one service.

CrowdStrike now positions Falcon Complete as Agentic MDR. The service combines deterministic automation for proven response actions, adaptive AI agents for investigation and orchestration, and human experts who validate decisions and remain accountable for the outcome.

The significance is speed. Modern attacks can cross endpoint, identity, cloud, SaaS and network domains faster than a manual analyst can investigate those systems one at a time.

Deterministic automationRepeatable response actions can execute quickly and consistently when the conditions and authority are known.
Adaptive AI agentsAgents assist with investigation, correlation and workflow orchestration as activity moves between security domains.
Human oversightFalcon Complete analysts direct and validate investigations, retain control of critical decisions and own the managed-response outcome.
Cross-domain investigationFalcon can correlate activity across endpoints, identities, cloud, SaaS and supported third-party data rather than treating each alert as an isolated event.
Threat intelligenceCrowdStrike’s global adversary intelligence and threat-hunting experience continually informs how detections and investigations are prioritised.

There are three distinct roles in the service. Keeping those roles clear makes the commercial and operational model much easier to understand.

01 / CORE MDR

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete

Required

The global 24×7 managed detection and response operation.

  • 24×7 monitoring and investigation
  • Threat hunting
  • Containment and response
  • Full-cycle remediation
  • Agentic MDR and automation
02 / DELIVERY

Vectra Strike Team

Cross-Domain Protection

The service can grow beyond endpoint MDR.

Falcon Complete increasingly operates across the broader Falcon platform. The exact managed coverage depends on the modules and services licensed in the customer environment.

Endpoint

Endpoint prevention & EDR

Protect and investigate Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints with Falcon prevention, EDR telemetry and response controls.

Identity

Identity threat protection

Extend detection and response into credential misuse, suspicious authentication and identity-based attack paths where licensed.

Cloud

Cloud workload protection

Bring supported cloud workload activity into the managed investigation and response model.

Next-Gen SIEM

Third-party security data

Use Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to extend Falcon Complete investigation and response into relevant third-party telemetry.

SaaS & Network

Broader attack context

Correlate supported SSO, email, network and SaaS data through the wider Falcon security-operations architecture.

AI Security

Falcon Guardian

Falcon Complete can extend managed detection and response to supported AI applications, coding assistants and autonomous agents.

Full-Cycle Remediation

The service should close the security incident—not just describe it.

Falcon Complete is designed to act on approved threats from initial investigation through containment and remediation. Vectra’s role is to make sure the service is deployed correctly, the customer’s response permissions are understood and local technical owners are involved where the wider environment needs attention.

01
DETECTFalcon analytics, threat intelligence, managed hunting and supported third-party telemetry identify malicious or suspicious behaviour.
02
INVESTIGATEAnalysts and agentic workflows correlate the activity, establish scope and determine what the adversary is attempting.
03
CONTAINApproved response actions can isolate affected systems or otherwise restrict the attacker before the incident spreads.
04
REMEDIATEFalcon Complete removes persistence and carries endpoint remediation through toward a known-good state within the managed scope.
05
COORDINATEVectra and the customer address wider actions that sit outside the Falcon-managed endpoint or service boundary where required.
06
IMPROVEReview platform configuration, coverage, policy and lessons from the incident to strengthen the future defensive posture.
Vectra White Glove

For customers who want someone local to own the relationship around the MDR.

Falcon Complete does not need White Glove to provide 24×7 MDR. White Glove exists for a different reason: some organisations want a named Australian technical relationship who understands their environment, can coordinate escalations and can translate the global MDR service into an ongoing local operating model.

Named ownershipA local technical owner who understands the customer environment, service history and current priorities.
Senior escalationDirect access to experienced Vectra security specialists when an issue needs deeper local technical involvement.
Operational reportingMonthly views of security activity, service performance, risks, trends and improvement priorities.
Executive contextTranslate technical MDR activity into the information leadership needs to understand exposure and progress.
Remediation coordinationHelp connect CrowdStrike findings with the IT, identity, cloud or infrastructure actions required on the customer side.
OptimisationReview policy, exclusions, platform health, adoption and opportunities to expand the security outcome over time.
Vectra Strike Team

Good MDR starts before the first alert.

Poor sensor coverage, rushed migrations, inappropriate exclusions or unclear response permissions can weaken even the best managed service. Vectra’s Strike Team owns the technical transition and operational readiness around Falcon Complete.

01
DISCOVERUnderstand endpoints, identities, existing controls, applications, exclusions, integrations and response requirements.
02
DESIGNDefine tenant architecture, policies, roles, response authority, deployment groups and the migration sequence.
03
PILOTValidate sensor compatibility, policy, exclusions, business applications and response behaviour before broad rollout.
04
DEPLOYRoll out Falcon in controlled waves, retire or coexist with incumbent controls and verify coverage.
05
ACTIVATE MDRConfirm contacts, escalation, response permissions and managed-service readiness before production operation.
06
OPTIMISEReview health, policy, exclusions, detections and opportunities to expand into identity, cloud, SIEM or AI security.
Client Outcomes

Why organisations move to a true managed-response model.

24×7 response

Threat investigation and containment continue when the internal IT or security team is offline.

Less alert ownership

Move from receiving security tickets to consuming a service that investigates and remediates within its managed scope.

Faster containment

Use CrowdStrike experts, automation and AI-assisted investigation to reduce the time available to the attacker.

Better threat context

Combine endpoint telemetry with identity, cloud and third-party data as the Falcon platform expands.

Reduced staffing pressure

Gain continuous detection and response without building a full internal 24×7 endpoint-response capability.
