Cyber security services

SOC, MDR and XDR services in Australia

Detecting an attack is only half the job; someone has to investigate it and respond. TOM SHAW delivers security operations, managed detection and response, and XDR for organisations across Australia.

SOC, MDR and XDR, in plain terms

A security operations centre (SOC) is the team and process that watches for threats and responds to them. Managed detection and response (MDR) is that capability delivered as a service. Extended detection and response (XDR) is the technology that brings detection and response together across endpoints, identities, cloud and network, so an attack can be followed from one stage to the next.

How TOM SHAW delivers SOC, MDR and XDR

One Australian team from platform choice to day-to-day operation.

XDR deployment

We implement XDR across endpoint, identity, cloud and network using platforms from our security partners.

Detection and investigation

We monitor for threats, investigate what is real, and cut through alert noise so your team sees what matters.

Response

When an attack is confirmed, we act to contain it and work with your team on recovery.

Continuous improvement

We feed what each incident teaches back into detections and controls, so the same attack is harder next time.

SOC, MDR and XDR: common questions

What is the difference between MDR and XDR?

XDR is technology that brings detection and response together across endpoints, identity, cloud and network. MDR is a service in which a security team uses tools like XDR to detect, investigate and respond to threats on your behalf.

Do I need my own SOC?

Not necessarily. Many organisations get security operations as a managed service instead of building and staffing their own SOC. TOM SHAW can deliver it as a service or support the team you already have.

Which platforms do you use?

We use platforms from our security partners, including SentinelOne and Vectra AI, and help you choose the right combination for your environment.

Do you work with organisations across Australia?

Yes. TOM SHAW delivers SOC, MDR and XDR services to organisations across Australia.
