Faster response starts with a smarter workflow
ThreatAdvisor helps DirectDefense analysts investigate and take action faster by automating repetitive steps between detection and response.
Know where to look first. Alerts are enriched and prioritized before investigation begins, giving analysts the context they need from the start.
Accelerate containment. Automated response workflows can isolate hosts, disable accounts, revoke sessions, and execute other approved actions—reducing the manual steps that slow response.
Keep critical decisions human. Approval gates ensure high-impact actions remain under human control while automation handles routine work.
Stay informed throughout the investigation. ThreatAdvisor gives you visibility into security cases and investigation progress, with real-time metrics, customizable dashboards, and evidence exports.

Get more from the security tools you already use
DirectDefense works across the tools already in your environment, actively monitoring, triaging, investigating, and responding to custom and third-party alerts from each source onboarded. Our approach emphasizes that unique customers require unique workflows and solutions. Your endpoint, cloud, identity, network, and other security data become part of an active MDR workflow instead of simply being collected.
Instead of rebuilding your stack, you get broader coverage from your security investments without adding complexity.

MDR that adapts to your environment
Your security program isn’t static, and your MDR service shouldn’t be either.
DirectDefense tailors detections, playbooks, and response procedures to your environment and operational priorities, then continues tuning them using behavioral analysis, threat intelligence, and investigation findings to reduce false positives and keep attention on meaningful threats.
You also get direct access to the U.S.-based SOC analysts protecting your environment and a dedicated Program Lead who helps turn day-to-day findings into ongoing improvements. Expert guidance is built into the service, rather than limited to a bank of consulting hours.
Connect detection and response across IT and OT
Threats don’t stay neatly inside one system or one part of the business. DirectDefense connects activity across your environment so analysts can investigate with more context and respond as attacks move.
ThreatAdvisor adds enrichment, prioritization, and automation to alerts from endpoint, cloud, identity, network, and other security sources, giving analysts a clearer picture of what’s happening.
Beyond incoming alerts, our analysts proactively hunt across historical security data to uncover suspicious activity and threats that automated detection may miss.
Built around your needs. Refined as they change.
Get 24/7 MDR that delivers expert analysis, AI-assisted workflows, and response automation to help your team act faster.
FAQ
What is ThreatAdvisor?
ThreatAdvisor helps DirectDefense analysts investigate and respond faster by reducing the manual work between detection and action. Alerts are enriched and prioritized earlier, and approved response steps can be automated so analysts spend more time on active threats and critical decisions. Its customer portal gives you visibility into security cases and investigation progress, along with enhanced reporting and evidence exports.
How does DirectDefense use AI and automation for MDR?
AI and automation help your team prioritize threats quickly and reduce response delays. They support alert analysis, case enrichment, and routine response steps, while Detections are mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework to help analysts identify adversary tactics and techniques. DirectDefense analysts validate findings and stay involved in high-impact decisions.
Can DirectDefense work with the security tools we already use?
DirectDefense supports a broad range of security technologies helping you strengthen detection and response without replacing existing tools. If your tool isn’t mentioned above, reach out to our team to discuss whether we can support and manage it. We continually evaluate new tools based on customer need and feedback.
Where is your SOC team based?
Our SOC team is entirely U.S.-based, providing 24/7 monitoring, investigation, and response with direct access to the analysts protecting your environment.
Does DirectDefense MDR cover both IT and OT environments?
Yes. DirectDefense helps you reduce coverage gaps across both IT and OT by monitoring, investigating, and responding across traditionally separate environments. That gives analysts more context and helps teams coordinate response as attacks move between environments.
Is access to your SOC team limited by retainer hours?
Access to our SOC analysts and your dedicated Program Lead is included in your managed service, with no retainer hours to track for ongoing communication and program support.
