Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
Cantina’s MDR solution equips protocol teams with the support they need to detect, respond to, and resolve active security threats. By combining 24/7 researcher coverage, hands-on remediation support, and real-world simulations, Cantina helps ensure your team is prepared for—and capable of quickly handling—live exploits.What We Provide
24/7 Coverage
Cantina leverages a globally distributed network of security researchers to provide around-the-clock incident coverage. When a potential incident occurs, this network activates to triage, assess, and respond quickly—minimizing time to containment and reducing the potential scope of damage.Active Resolution Support
Our approach goes beyond alerting. Cantina researchers actively investigate ongoing incidents, trace root causes, analyze impact, and support teams through remediation. We work directly with your developers to restore affected systems and ensure future risk is mitigated.Flexible Engagement Models
Cantina supports two approaches to engagement:- Fixed monthly retainer: A dedicated group of researchers is always on-call for your protocol.
- Incentive-based response: A broader pool of researchers is activated per incident, with an SLA-based multiplier to incentivize quick response times.
Simulated Attack Scenarios
Proactive preparation is key. Cantina offers incident response simulations to help your team stress test existing playbooks. Led by a Cantina Advisor, these simulations replicate real-world attack conditions in a controlled environment, providing a safe opportunity to improve detection, coordination, and resolution processes.Engagement Overview
A typical Managed Detection and Response setup includes:-
Initial Setup & Integration
- Define communication channels and points of contact
- Align on coverage scope and response expectations
- Choose engagement model (fixed or incentive-based)
-
Ongoing Monitoring & Availability
- Standby support 24/7 through Cantina’s distributed researcher network
- Optional simulations and playbooks
-
During an Incident
- Researcher activation based on severity and scope
- Real-time investigation and coordination
- Support through remediation and system restoration
-
Post-Incident Audit
- Summary of findings
- Recommendations for architectural and operational improvements
- Update or refinement of security playbooks
