Managed detection & response
Simba Cyber monitors the systems in your agreement around the clock, investigates suspicious activity and coordinates the response — so an alert becomes a decision, not a surprise.
The business problem
Most growing organizations already own capable security tools. Microsoft 365 and Defender produce useful signals about suspicious sign-ins, malicious email and compromised devices. The difficulty is attention: alerts arrive at night, on weekends and during the busiest part of the working day.
Without a team that reviews those alerts, decides which ones matter and knows what to do next, an early warning can become a business email compromise, a ransomware incident or a quiet data loss that nobody notices for weeks.
What Simba Cyber does
Our MDR service combines continuous monitoring with human investigation. We tune detections to your environment, triage what matters, contain threats within the authority you approve and keep your designated contacts informed with clear, plain-language updates.
Scope & capabilities
Capabilities are confirmed for your environment during scoping and documented in your agreement.
Common use cases
Representative scenarios that show how the service responds. They are illustrations, not client case studies.
An employee’s account signs in from an unfamiliar location after a phishing email. We confirm the activity is malicious, revoke sessions, require a password reset and check the mailbox for forwarding rules or fraudulent messages.
Defender flags rapid file changes on a finance workstation. We isolate the device within the agreed authority, identify the entry point and work with your team on safe recovery.
A user grants mailbox access to an unfamiliar cloud app. We review the permissions, remove the grant and look for data access that occurred before removal.
Business outcomes
Delivery methodology
Confirm covered systems, connect telemetry, agree escalation contacts and document the response actions we may take without asking first.
Review existing alerts, tune noisy detections and record normal activity so real threats stand out.
Investigate alerts as they occur, contain threats within approved authority and escalate with clear recommendations.
Report on incidents, trends and control gaps, then agree the next improvements with your team.
Related Microsoft technologies
Monitoring covers the systems, users and devices named in your agreement. Unconnected systems are not monitored.
Detection quality depends on your Microsoft licensing. Many Defender capabilities require Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E5 or add-on plans.
We agree in advance which containment actions we may take on your behalf and which require your approval.
Monitoring reduces risk and shortens response time. No provider can guarantee that every attack will be prevented.
Questions
Yes. MDR includes 24/7 monitoring for the systems covered by your agreement. Your agreement defines the covered systems, escalation contacts and the response actions we are authorized to take.
No. Many organizations start with Microsoft 365 Business Premium, which includes Defender for Business and core identity protections. We assess your current licensing and explain what each upgrade would add before you buy anything.
Only within limits you approve. During onboarding we agree which actions are pre-authorized, such as isolating a device or revoking a session, and which require a call to your designated contact first.
Antivirus blocks known malware on a device. MDR adds people who investigate suspicious activity across email, identity, devices and cloud apps, decide what it means and coordinate the response.
No. MDR focuses on threat detection and response. We work alongside your internal IT team or managed IT provider, or we can provide managed IT as a separate service.
