WithSecure Countercept

Description

WithSecure Countercept is a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service built by attackers for defenders, delivered in partnership with clients' IT Security teams, by threat hunters who form a ‘battle-fit’ Detection and Response Team (DRT) working 24/7.

WithSecure's Detection and Response Team (DRT) deals with cyber threats to your organization in minutes. WithSecure Countercept MDR acts as an extension of your cyber security team, sharing out threat hunting expertise, helping your team learn and grow, and continuously improving your security.

Countercept runs on proprietary WithSecure technology, which gives us full control of critical security tasks and the flexibility to rapidly develop new capability, independent of third-party technology.

• Excellent visibility of user, endpoint, cloud and network activity is provided by our proprietary Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) agent and log collectors, which is fed into our xDR detection platform. 
• WithSecure threat hunters spend up to 50% of their time researching new and evolving tools and techniques used by threat actors. Every alert is investigated by the DRT who will use its knowledge and experience to decide what, if any, action to take.
• Countercept’s 24/7 First Response service contains and remediates incidents before they have a chance to impact the business. Using our proven First Response methodology enables threat hunters respond to incidents, at the right time and in the right way, with less than 1% of incidents to date requiring escalation to WithSecure Incident Response.
• Countercept MDR is delivered to you in partnership with your own information security and IT experts. We act as an extension to your in-house teams, handling queries and investigation requests, delivering peacetime value in the form of security insights to help you improve your security posture, and controlling your IT environment on your behalf.
• Europe-only Countercept MDR option is delivered wholly within Europe and eliminating data access to anyone outside.
