INSIDE Managed Detection and Response (MDR):
A Secure Solution for Countering Online Threats.
Resisting Threats for Businesses with Cyber Resilience.
The progressively more dangerous threat landscape for businesses, which has brought the global damage value to twice the Italian GDP, necessitates the implementation of appropriate corporate cybersecurity practices.
What is at stake is not just operational continuity but also the ability to continue competing in national and international markets.
The objective is Cyber Resilience: identifying critical activities and the most probable risk scenarios, implementing the capabilities to detect suspicious security events, and planning for emergencies.
INSIDE Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a service aimed at achieving Cyber Resilience in a managed way, supporting companies unable to internally manage the processes for preventing and handling cyber incidents.
The Managed Detection and Response formula, which involves outsourcing security activities, allows this evolutionary step to be taken within an economically sustainable framework.
As an MDR service provider, INTELLIGENCE INSIDE provides highly competent and specialized analysts in using state-of-the-art security tools. It also offers customers a range of services designed to improve a company’s defenses and minimize risks without the costly investment required to build an internal team and purchase dedicated tools.
A key role, for example, is played by the Threat Intelligence services, which allow constant monitoring of new threats and adaptation of protection tools to address them.
Our activity, from this perspective, ensures access to a greater amount of data and, consequently, results in greater effectiveness in combating cybercrime.
Thanks to constant monitoring of network security events, INSIDE Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services allow companies to adapt their infrastructure to the requirements of regulations (GDPR) concerning Data Breach management, ensuring full compliance with the standards set by the legislator.
Real-Time Monitoring, Protection, and Response without Interruption.
INSIDE Managed Detection and Response (MDR) managed services provide 24/7 threat monitoring, incident event detection, and mitigation and response capabilities. They use a combination of:
- Technologies implemented at host and network layers;
- Advanced Analytics;
- Threat Intelligence;
- Expertise of Professionals and Analysts in incident investigation and response.
The technical solution can protect the client’s workstations and servers from known and unknown threats. It has advanced features like behavioral analysis and artificial intelligence, which greatly enhance the ability to detect and respond to malicious activities. Services are provided through a proprietary platform that ensures monitoring of all endpoints, from servers to mobile devices. The Detection & Response service is active 24/7 and managed by expert analysts.

Focus Ransomware: A Recent Threat in the Email Inbox
Ransomware is a particular type of virus that has been spreading in recent years.
Its behavior involves infecting a device by encrypting all user data (documents, images, etc.) contained therein and subsequently requesting a ransom that, upon payment, allows the user to recover all their data in plain text.
Since ransomware was first identified, its spread has been exponential, and several types of these particular worm viruses have been intercepted.
The most notable ones include:
- Reveton
- CryptoLocker
- TorrentLocker
This type of virus should not be underestimated and, in some cases, can block the operations of a company or cause significant financial and reputational losses.
METHODS OF INFECTION
It has been found that the most common means of spreading ransomware is via emails where, disguised as a fake service provider, attachments are sent that, once opened, initiate the PC’s infection and encrypt all data.
An Efficient and Established Methodology
DETECTION
A comprehensive analysis allows you to block and contain the attack.
The objectives of the analysis are:
- Identify:
- The cause of the breach
- The tools and techniques used by the attackers
- Develop a Defense and Containment Plan
- Provide Recommendations to prevent future attacks
REMEDIATION
Activities aimed at developing system repair solutions through the proprietary platform.
Our approach in responding to incidents is significantly enhanced by Threat Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence. Indeed, the large volume of threat information obtained during the Detection phases and from the attacker’s behavior, through Threat Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence, gains predictive value, useful in understanding how the adversary will act, their objectives, and their motivations.
Our platform unifies threat protection management for PCs, Macs, and servers, ensuring that all endpoints are adequately protected. The platform collects data and monitors all devices in the environment in real-time, providing tools to protect endpoints, including mobile devices.
The agents (or active modules) act in two directions:
- DETECTION AND REMEDIATION
- Analysis and correlation of data collected by sensors on endpoints
- Identification of threats and the complete history of the attack
- Real-time search in the proprietary database containing tens of millions of events, enabling a response within seconds after the triage
- Execution of one of the following responses:
- Remediation
- Killing processes
- Preventing file execution
- Removing persistence mechanisms
- Quarantining the file
- Removing registry keys
- Efficient machine isolation
- Adding the attacker’s domain/IP address to the database
- SUPPORT MODULES
The functions are:
- Replacement or support of third-party antivirus
- Detection of new or evolving threats before they are executed through Machine Learning
- Memory Exploit Mitigation: blocking zero-day vulnerabilities
- Ransomware Blocking before encryption occurs
- Blocking fileless attacks through PowerShell or DOT.NET
- Direct control of endpoints: centralized management of strategic endpoint functions, such as USB device access, network access, disk encryption status control
