Red Canary MDR is a managed detection and response service covering endpoints, identities, cloud environments, and other connected security sources. Experts monitor, investigate, and help respond to threats around the clock. Detection uses behavior-based methods, threat intelligence, and threat hunts to identify suspicious activity. Customers can follow investigations in a unified timeline showing a threat’s root cause, scope, and impact. Response combines automated actions with human-led work, including remediation by Red Canary experts. Integrations span endpoint, network, cloud, identity, SaaS, and other security data, with examples including AWS, Microsoft, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks. Alerts can be sent to SIEM, SOAR, or ITSM platforms. The Security Data Lake stores MDR or other raw data for a retention period selected by the customer. Red Canary describes the service as complementing an existing SOC. Its Trust Center lists ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC 2 Type II, plus annual audits, penetration testing, disaster recovery, and vulnerability disclosure practices. Current product documentation identifies it as Zscaler MDR. Pricing is on request.
