Frequently Asked Questions
MXDR stands for Managed Extended Detection and Response. It's a managed security service where a team of experts monitors your environment 24/7 across multiple streams of telemetry, detects threats, and responds to stop attacks, so you don't have to. Unlike basic security tools that just send alerts, MXDR includes real humans who take action on your behalf.
MDR (Managed Detection and Response) typically focuses on one area, usually endpoints like laptops and servers. MXDR goes further by covering your entire environment: endpoints, cloud apps, networks, email, and user identities. Instead of watching one door, MXDR watches the whole building, and correlates data between sources to get a better picture of what’s really happening.
When the SonicSentry SOC spots a threat, analysts investigate it immediately to confirm it's real. If it is, they take action to contain it, isolating affected devices or accounts to stop the attack from spreading. You're notified with clear context on what happened, what was done, and any needed next steps so you can keep your clients informed.
SonicSentry MXDR brings together three managed security services under one SOC: MDR for Endpoint, MDR for Cloud, and MDR for Network. You can start with one and add others as your needs grow. All three feed into the same XDR platform, giving the SOC a complete picture of your environment.
No. SonicSentry is billed month to month with no long-term contracts and no minimums. You can scale up or down as your client base changes. This makes it easy to add managed SOC services to your offering without committing to a multi-year deal.
SonicSentry includes white glove onboarding with hands-on support from the SonicWall team. Your proof of concept is guided from start to finish, so you're not figuring it out alone. Most MSPs are up and running without the long setup timelines typical of enterprise security tools.
