From webinars and video tutorials to guides and blogs, we’ve got resources to help you and your team address any technology challenge.
Get comprehensive protection for your environment with our Microsoft-verified MXDR (managed extended detection and response) solution. We build on the foundation of Microsoft Defender XDR and Sentinel with 24/7/365 SOC coverage from our team of cybersecurity experts.
It’s tough to keep up with disconnected tools and limited human bandwidth.
Our solution delivers 24/7/365 SOC coverage built on Microsoft Sentinel or ISOC in Defender (see below). Either way, you get:
Our solution closely integrates with Microsoft 365 Defender and Microsoft Sentinel. It has been verified and certified by Microsoft Security engineering.
MXDR (managed, extended detection and response) is a managed cybersecurity service composed of an XDR solution and 24/7/365 monitoring and threat response from human experts.
For Microsoft environments, this means managed services built on top of Microsoft Defender XDR, often integrated with Microsoft Sentinel, managed by a SOC-as-a-service partner like Corsica Technologies.
Companies with more basic needs can use Microsoft’s new ISOC (Integrated Security Operations Center) features in Microsoft Defender. ISOC is a lighter-weight security operations feature set for Microsoft 365 E5 and E7 customers who primarily rely on Microsoft security data and need more than 30 days’ data retention.
For customers with third-party or custom log sources, advanced automation, or more complex security requirements, Microsoft Sentinel remains the gold standard.
If you’re not sure what you need, get in touch with us. We can advise you on the proper solution (Sentinel vs. ISOC in Defender). We can also manage the solution for you.
Our expert, in-house SOC team provides 24/7/365 monitoring of endpoints, identities, email, cloud apps, infrastructure, and more, all using Microsoft Defender and integrated tools.
Sophisticated tooling provides the alerts that our SOC team needs. When something suspicious appears, we jump on it, identifying, triaging, and responding to threats using best-in-class AI, automation, and human judgment.
Our team doesn’t wait for criminals to strike. We actively search for hidden or emerging threats that may evade automated detection.
Our comprehensive MXDR services help detect credential compromise, privilege escalation, and suspicious login behavior in Entra ID.
Is your Microsoft 365 environment secure? Our MXDR services offer protection against phishing, malware, and business email compromise in M365.
Cloud systems aren’t secure by default. The “extended” in “extended detection and response” includes your Azure environment, helping prevent cloud security threats.
It’s essential to monitor for vulnerabilities and apply patches, especially after the Mythos AI vulnerability findings. Our MXDR services can include patch management as needed.
It’s essential to monitor your environment in the day-to-day. But where are you going long-term? Our vCIO/vCISO resources can assist with strategic planning and technology roadmaps.
From start-to-finish, we ensure a comprehensive planning phase, seamless MXDR rollout process, and professional monitoring and management of your entire Microsoft infrastructure.
In-depth assessments and planning allow us to build a comprehensive picture of what’s in scope for your MXDR solution.
Once you’re up and running with MXDR, we’ll manage your Microsoft security from top to bottom with powerful, best-in-class technology.
Your Microsoft environment doesn’t stay static. We continuously collaborate with your team to understand new risks and opportunities, keeping you secure.
Our MXDR solution leverages the entire Microsoft Security portfolio:
Only this comprehensive, integrated view can protect your environment against complex threats across endpoints, identities, networks, and cloud workloads.
Wherever you’re located, we’ve got you covered. Our team can work in person if you’re local, or remotely if we’re not nearby. Get the Microsoft MXDR services you need today.

MXDR (Managed Extended Detection and Response) is a fully managed cybersecurity service that combines advanced security tools with expert human oversight to detect, investigate, and respond to threats across an organization’s entire IT environment. It extends traditional detection and response beyond endpoints to include identities, email, cloud applications, and infrastructure—delivering unified visibility and faster, coordinated threat response.
MXDR (Managed Extended Detection and Response) delivers comprehensive security improvements by combining whole-environment threat detection technology with 24/7 expert monitoring and coordinated response. MXDR helps organizations reduce risk, improve visibility, and respond to threats faster by unifying security signals from endpoints, identities, email, cloud, and data into a single, managed service.
MXDR (Managed Extended Detection and Response) differs from running XDR in-house primarily in who operates the platform and how much the function costs. While in-house XDR relies on internal teams to configure, monitor, and respond to threats, MXDR delivers the same (or broader) capabilities as a fully managed service—adding 24/7 expert monitoring, threat hunting, and response. This allows organizations to achieve stronger security outcomes with less internal resource strain, faster time-to-value, and lower costs.
Category | MXDR (Managed XDR) | In-House XDR |
Ownership & Operation | Managed by an external provider (e.g., Microsoft or MSSP) | Fully managed by internal IT/security teams |
Staffing Requirements | Minimal internal staff needed; provider supplies SOC analysts | Requires skilled internal SOC team, often 24/7 coverage |
Time to Value | Rapid deployment with pre-configured best practices | Longer setup time for tool configuration and tuning |
Threat Detection & Response | Continuous monitoring with expert-led investigation and response | Dependent on internal team availability, expertise, and workload |
Threat Hunting | Proactive, ongoing hunting conducted by dedicated experts | Must be performed by internal team if resources allow |
Tool Integration | Deep, optimized integration across platforms (e.g., Microsoft ecosystem) | Integration must be built, maintained, and optimized internally |
Alert Management | Alerts are triaged, correlated, and prioritized by provider | Internal team must handle all alert noise and prioritization |
Response Capabilities | Coordinated, cross-system response guided by proven playbooks | Response processes depend on internal maturity and tooling |
Scalability | Easily scales with environment growth via provider resources | Scaling requires hiring, training, and tool expansion |
Cost Structure | Subscription-based (operational expense) with predictable costs | High upfront and ongoing costs (tools, staffing, training) |
Security Maturity | Immediate access to advanced capabilities and expertise | Maturity grows over time based on team and investment |
Best Fit | Organizations lacking a full SOC or wanting to augment capabilities | Organizations with mature, well-resourced security teams |
The answer depends on the origin of your security data and what you need your team (or us) to do with it. If you’re on Microsoft 365 E5 or E7, and nearly all of your security data already comes from Microsoft tools, ISOC in Microsoft Defender may be enough. It’s a lighter-weight option that can retain that data for longer than 30 days.
However, ISOC in Defender doesn’t match the full feature set of Sentinel. Microsoft’s standalone SIEM solution is still the better fit if you need to bring in logs from third-party tools, such as firewalls, non-Microsoft endpoint security, or line-of-business apps. The same goes if you need custom log sources or advanced automation, or if you run a larger, more complex environment.
Either way, Corsica’s Microsoft-verified MXDR team can review your licensing, data sources, and compliance needs, then tell you which platform fits. This way, you don’t pay for more than you need or miss things you can’t see.
We’ll respond within 1 business day, or you can grab time on our calendar.
