Frequently Asked Questions

Dell Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a fully managed, 24x7 security operations service that monitors, detects, investigates and responds to threats across your endpoints, network, infrastructure cloud, and specific detections for Dell infrastructure and devices. We combine Dell security experts with select industry-leading XDR platforms to help stop attacks before damage is done and strengthen your overall security posture.  

Dell MDR helps address common challenges such as keeping pace with fast-evolving threats, interpreting fragmented alerts from multiple security tools, standing up 24x7 SOC coverage, and finding and retaining skilled security professionals, so your internal team can focus on higher-value security and IT initiatives instead of constant alert triage. MDR also includes 40 hours of incident response initiation to speed recovery activities. 

Dell MDR leverages AI-enabled XDR analytics from leading XDR platform vendors, continuously updated threat intelligence and Dell security analysts to correlate telemetry across endpoint, network, cloud, and data protection environments, enabling unified detection, proactive threat hunting and guided or automated response that can isolate threats, contain attacker activity and support rapid recovery.  

Dell MDR provides coverage across your broader IT ecosystem, including endpoints, infrastructure systems, networks, cloud workloads, data protection platforms, and storage (such as AI Factory, PowerProtect and PowerScale) so you can extend continuous threat detection and response to where attackers often target first: critical runtime, data and backup environments.  

With Dell MDR, you can use your choice of select industry-leading XDR platforms such as CrowdStrike, Sophos and Microsoft l; Dell analysts operate these platforms on your behalf, ingest telemetry from your existing security stack, and apply Dell-developed indicators of compromise and playbooks to deliver consistent detection, investigation and response in your environment.  

Customers receive 24x7 alert monitoring, investigation, and remediation guidance, along with regular reporting on investigations, alert trends, and security posture recommendations; Dell MDR also provides service level objectives for mean time to react and respond, helping you improve response times and demonstrate measurable improvements in security operations. Customers can interact directly with Dell security analysts through our customer portal which displays relevant information and statistics about the MDR service delivery such as investigation details, quarterly reports and more.   

Dell MDR is part of Dell Security and Resilience Services, and can work alongside offerings such as Vulnerability Management, Pen Testing and Attack Simulation Management, Managed Security Awareness Training, Managed Detection and Response for Data Protection, Incident Recovery Retainer Service and Cyber Recovery Services to help you reduce your attack surface, detect and respond to threats faster, and recover quickly from cyber incidents.  

Organizations choose Dell MDR to gain access to enterprise-class SOC capabilities, Dell security expertise, and tightly integrated partner technologies—often at lower cost and risk than staffing and running their own 24x7 operations—while benefiting from Dell’s long track record in business resiliency, deep infrastructure and data protection knowledge, and global scale in security services.
