It’s time to face a difficult truth: preventative security measures can only do so much. Sooner or later, a threat will manage to sneak through. When that happens, you need to be ready for it.
Other advanced security tools designed to address active threats often fall short, due to:
When IT staff have to search multiple dashboards to locate important security information, it’s difficult to catch anomalies.
Not every unusual login is a threat, and automated systems often fail to spot the difference – forcing employees to sift through alerts that might not mean anything.
Continuous threat monitoring requires expertise that you might not have. Without it, even the best detection and response solutions can become worthless.
Luckily, all these issues can be avoided. You just need the right solution. One that provides the platform, organisation, and human expertise needed. You need Platform 24’s managed XDR (extended detection and response) services.
If traditional tools fail, then what do XDR services do differently? In short:
We set up the platform and start processing security data.
We watch your systems continuously for any signs of trouble.
We thoroughly investigate all alerts to determine if they represent a real threat.
We respond quickly and efficiently, quarantining and eradicating potential attacks.
We continue to update and optimise our XDR solutions long-term.
You can’t stop every attacker at the door. But that doesn’t mean you have to surrender to the inevitability of data breaches and chaos. With us at your side, threat detection stops being noisy, vague, and overcomplicated. We protect your business, so you can focus on running it.

Extended detection and response (XDR) is a powerful security solution that ingests data from your entire IT environment, then uses it to identify and stop potential threats. Managed XDR combines the software solutions traditionally used with the personalised service offered by a managed service provider (MSP). This means you enjoy the benefits of both: instant identification, real-time response, and careful human oversight.
You need XDR in your cyber security strategy because it addresses the attacks you don’t manage to stop using your normal defences. No matter how strong your security posture is, the occasional threat will sneak through. XDR accounts for this eventuality, identifying and stopping them before a major breach can occur.
The difference between traditional threat detection and response, MDR, EDR, and XDR is often vaguely defined. But it’s actually quite simple:
Threat detection and response is the overall process of identifying and stopping potential attacks. MDR is a managed service where cyber security experts monitor for threats in real-time (whereas other solutions may rely on software alone, or interal expertise). EDR focuses exclusively on devices (such as computers or tablets). XDR monitors and protects all aspects of the IT environment.
Yes, small businesses can benefit from XDR managed services. Any organisation with sensitive data, strict regulatory requirements, or a limited capacity for in-house security should consider this service. It provides an extra layer of protection that might come in very handy.
The cost of XDR services depends on your size and industry, the complexity of your IT infrastructure, your compliance requirements, and the service level agreement (SLA). Always ask for a quote if you’re unsure.
