Chicago, IL – May 14, 2025 – CyberMaxx, the leading Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider, today announced a strategic refresh of its flagship MDR service, MaxxMDR, to further reduce risk and improve security outcomes for organizations. As part of this enhancement, MaxxMDR is now available in three distinct service tiers—Core, Advanced, and Elite—offering customers greater flexibility and control in selecting the right level of protection for their unique needs.

This evolution of MaxxMDR reflects CyberMaxx’s commitment to a modern, integrated approach to cybersecurity. Each level of the service is powered by the CyberMaxx 24x7x365 Security Operations Center (SOC), where threat monitoring, detection, and response are seamlessly combined into a unified service. Each of the three tiers of service gives customers the power of “Big R” Response, allowing them to defend their company with a modern approach regardless of where they are at in their cybersecurity journey.

CyberMaxx’ modern, tech-enabled, not one-size-fits-all model offers organizations the ability to choose the MDR offering which best fits their company goals depending on where they are in their cybersecurity journey.

• MaxxMDR Core – Includes 24x7x365 monitoring and response for your most critical attack point – the endpoints. CyberMaxx monitors endpoints in real-time to identify threats and engage in our response process immediately. We isolate and contain attacks before data is exfiltrated, assets are further compromised, or irreversible damage is done.
• MaxxMDR Advanced – Builds on MaxxMDR Core and secures the environment on both the endpoint and your cloud email (M365 / Google Workspace). As one of the most widely used cloud application suites today, Microsoft 365 requires continuous monitoring to mitigate concerns regarding data loss, privacy, leakage, and unauthorized access.
• MaxxMDR Elite – The most complete MDR offering monitors the entirety of your critical infrastructure, including endpoints and cloud email. The CyberMaxx team works to identify each of the data sources which provides the most security-relevant telemetry using a managed SIEM and deception technology. This offering also includes Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a recurring proactive layer of security which identifies and addresses vulnerabilities preemptively.

“Our new service tiers for MaxxMDR allow all organizations to choose the right balance of features, cost, and protection level that best meets their risk posture – while maintaining a strong focus on response for their company MDR,” said Brian M. Ahern, CEO of CyberMaxx. “As our customers advance in their security maturity, upgrading between service tiers is simple, seamless and quickest time to value in the industry.”

These service enhancements reinforce CyberMaxx’s tech-enabled service model, which prioritizes platform compatibility and customer flexibility. CyberMaxx continues to support seamless integration with industry-leading SIEM and security platforms such as Crowdstrike, Microsoft, SentinelOne, Palo Alto, Cisco/Splunk, Devo, Elastic, Exabeam, LevelBlue, Cloud Service Providers, and an extensive list of additional log sources. At CyberMaxx, we do not require customers to displace their security tech stack investments but instead operationalize those best-in-class technology platforms to deliver the intended security outcomes.

The upgraded MaxxMDR offering builds on the momentum of CyberMaxx’s recent acquisitions of Cybersafe Solutions and onShore Security, further scaling its enterprise-grade capabilities to serve the under-resourced mid-market sector.

CyberMaxx’s enhanced MDR solution empowers customers to maximize protection, minimize complexity, and make informed decisions through powerful threat visibility and the “Big R” response capabilities delivered by a world-class SOC.

Traditional MDR tools and processes only provide a base level of protection. By supplementing a SIEM or EDR tool’s default detections library with advanced insights gained from its offensive and DFIR work, MaxxMDR strengthens an organization’s defenses and enables them to catch more advanced threats.  This provides customers with a strong partnership for a comprehensive offensive and defensive approach to securing their environments.

MaxxMDR empowers organizations to monitor and manage cyber risk through:

• 24 x 7 x 365 SOC: Around-the-clock monitoring and response by CyberMaxx Security Operations Center of experts
• Custom Detection Library: Derived from years of experience and working closely with our DFIR and Offensive security teams across a diverse set of customers
• Purpose-built: Purpose-built platforms designed with SOAR in mind
• Endpoint security (EDR): partnership with industry-leading endpoint security providers like SentinelOne and Crowdstrike
• Proprietary Advanced Analytics Platform: cloud-native analytics platform for better integration with SAAS and IAAS
• Full Visibility: Full stack visibility of your assets both on-premise and in the cloud
• Faster & Better Quality: Improved mean time to recovery (MTTR) and reduced false positives through automation and orchestration

Additionally, MaxxMDR is offered through a flexible deployment model available in both managed and co-managed environments. The managed solution is delivered on a proprietary analytics engine for organizations looking for a fully outsourced solution. The co-managed solution is delivered on a third-party SIEM either licensed by CyberMaxx or the customer and allows the customer more control and access.

“The speed and pace of evolving threats today requires a new approach to defensive security,” said Michael Quattrochi, CyberMaxx’s SVP of Defensive Security. “Traditional MDR solutions too often aren’t able to detect modern threats because they are based on legacy insights. By empowering MaxxMDR with real-time insights into active threats from our offensive and DFIR work we are enabling customers to better keep pace with their adversaries and strengthen their defensive posture.”

MaxxMDR Bundles

CyberMaxx helps customers strengthen their security posture by offering both offensive and defensive security solutions together. The MDR bundles strengthen MDR detection with insights from offensive solutions and provide a uniform customer experience at a competitive investment level.

• MaxxMDR: provides monitoring + Alert Escalation and containment through EDR API.
• MaxxMDR Advanced: builds on monitoring, alerting, and containment by including an annual Security Configuration Assessment (M365/Azure, Active Directory, AWS & GCP), semi-annual Hunt & Detect in EDR, annual IR or BCDR Tabletop, Password Hash Strength Testing, Deception Tokens Deployment, and Monitoring, and Discounted Advanced DFIR Rates.
• MaxxMDR Premium: builds on MaxxMDR Advanced and includes monthly Hunt & Detect in EDR, Endpoint Purple Team, annual External Penetration Test, annual VIP Public Data Reconnaissance, and additional discounts on advanced DFIR Rates.

The post CyberMaxx Launches Next Generation Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Solution: MaxxMDR appeared first on CyberMaxx.

This reality has led to an increase in the number of vendors a security team relies on, with the average mid-market company now leveraging 40+ vendors. Teams are also trying to try and keep up with emerging threats and compliance requirements despite having economic and budget constraints. In fact, according to ESG, 50% of organizations are expected to have flat or reduced security spending in 2023. The result is overworked security teams struggling to do more with less.

So, how can organizations take on evolving and complicated security attacks with limited resources and budgets?

Offense Fuels Defense: Stay Ahead of Evolving Threats

Overworked security teams are increasingly turning to Managed Detection and Response (MDR) vendors to ease the burden on their analysts by removing the constant monitoring, tuning, and response work. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2025, 60% of organizations will be actively using remote threat disruption and containment capabilities delivered directly by MDR providers, up from 30% today.

But traditional MDR tools and processes only go so far. They provide base-level protection, usually with a standard set of detection rules, that quickly become outdated compared to the fluid nature of modern attacks. To ensure optimal protection, security teams must take the time to tune the rulesets specifically to their environment, leveraging insights gained from recent attacks. Failure to do so can result in MDR being less effective than it can be, leaving organizations vulnerable to emerging threats.

The most effective approach is to let the offensive work you’re doing improve the defensive detections. By supplementing your SIEM or EDR tool with advanced insights gained from offensive work like security configuration assessments, threat hunting, and DFIR, organizations can enhance their MDR service and more effectively detect advanced threats. Offensive work can provide a deeper understanding of the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers and enable security teams to fine-tune their defenses accordingly. By doing so, organizations can strengthen their overall security posture and better protect themselves against emerging threats.

Remove Complexity and Resource Blockers

It’s true that security teams are often stretched thin and may not have the bandwidth to prioritize proactive measures to consistently improve their defensive posture. In fact, with limited budgets and resources, it can be difficult to figure out how to prioritize offensive work like annual pen tests alongside other critical security activities. This is where a consolidated approach to security can be particularly beneficial.

By partnering with a trusted provider that can take on the heavy lifting for you of proactive work and informing the defensive MDR work, you can have an integrated security experience where the key insights are continually improving your security response strategy.

By taking a hacking mindset, you can identify evolving threats before they become a company-wide issue and use the relevant TTPs and IOCs and funnel them into your MDR ruleset to strengthen your detections going forward. A partner who can take all of that off your plate can be a powerful tool in your arsenal – and not to mention a smart way to consolidate tools and budget for a unified experience.

How CyberMaxx Helps

Partnering with CyberMaxx not only streamlines offensive and defensive security efforts but also provides a unified customer experience for a stronger security posture. CyberMaxx’s revamped MDR solution, MaxxMDR, offers a range of customizable bundles that incorporate offensive security services and work with customers’ existing tools. With a 24/7/365 SOC team, CyberMaxx’s MDR solution can monitor customers’ environments and provide tailored detections and insights gained from offensive security work. By partnering with CyberMaxx, customers can better defend against evolving threats, free up overworked security teams, and consolidate tools and budgets for a more efficient security strategy.

This unified customer experience creates a stronger security posture, gives us more insight to better detect threats to your organization, and ultimately frees up your overworked security teams all at the same time. We think like an adversary but defend like a guardian.

We’re thrilled to announce today that CyberMaxx has acquired CipherTechs to combine capabilities and address these challenges through a comprehensive set of cyber risk management solutions built on best-in-class technologies and a depth of cyber expertise. The “new” CyberMaxx enables customers to stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape by leveraging the insights from Offensive and DFIR engagements to strengthen their Defensive security. We think like an adversary but defend like a guardian.

As a tech-enabled security services company, CyberMaxx has a proven track record of helping customers assess, monitor, and manage cyber risk. The combination of CyberMaxx and CipherTechs brings a full range of tech-enabled cybersecurity solutions, including Offensive Security Services (Red Team, Penetration Testing, Web Application Testing, Ransomware Readiness Assessments), Defensive Security Services (Blue Team, XDR/MDR/EDR Managed Security, Security Controls Management), Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), and Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Services, enabled through both proprietary security technology and 3rd party product sourcing from best in class security platforms like Crowdstrike, SentinelOne, Tenable, Qualys, Splunk & Devo to name a few.

With more than 400 customers and over 140 cybersecurity professionals, CyberMaxx and CipherTechs have been serving customers for more than two decades and have each built an incredible team and industry-leading offerings. Many companies offer offensive (Red Team) or defensive (Blue Team) solutions, but very few have the full- breadth that CyberMaxx is now able to deliver from within a single organization. One of the things I most admire about both companies is the passion, and conviction for the cyber-mission and the approach they take – both organizations use a “hacker mindset” which enables them to really dig in and provide the greatest protection to our customers. Again, we think like an adversary but defend like a guardian.

This passion and approach really resonated with me. In my own two decades in cyber-security, I have personally witnessed the challenges customers have faced managing the expanding attack surface, the complexity of cyber solutions, and continuing internal pressures on spending. I was drawn to CyberMaxx because I believe we are uniquely capable of helping customers address their cybersecurity challenges because:

• Our Offense fuels your Defense. Having managed and responded to large-scale ransomware and data theft breaches, our Offensive/DFIR team has experience with well-known threat actors, including REvil, Conti, and Darkside to name a few. Our understanding of their Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTPs), and our analysis of the Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) post-breach, inform our Offensive Security (Red Team) engagements with our customers, taking less of an Audit & Compliance approach, but more of a technical approach to challenge the security controls similar to how disruptive gangs operate. Our findings then help us work with our customers to build more resilient security controls, while also enhancing our Defensive Security (Blue team) detections, investigations, disruptions, and containment. Taking a ‘hacker mindset’, we identify evolving threats before they reach our customers and proactively (vs reactively) help strengthen their defensive cyber posture.With our expansive customer base spread across industries such as healthcare, financial services, technology, industrial/manufacturing, and others, we see more attacks across a larger surface area than an internal cyber team could ever encounter. With the breadth, frequency, and sophistication of the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) we experience, we are able to continually enhance our advanced detection library. We maintain and constantly evolve this library of detections based on Offensive findings that are proprietary to CyberMaxx. This provides a depth of MDR expertise, security efficacy, and domain expertise unrivaled by others who only provide Defensive Security services.By becoming our customer’s remote, human-led, threat detection, threat disruption, and threat containment security partner, our customers can spend time remediating risk versus hunting to identify threats.
• We enable flexibility for customers in designing their cyber strategy. Because we offer a complete mix of cyber risk management services and products, either fully managed or co-managed deployments, we adapt to the specific needs of the customer based on their capabilities and cyber strategy. We have built our offerings on best-in-class technologies (Crowdstrike, Splunk, Devo, SentinelOne, Qualys, Tenable) so as vendors continue to consolidate, our capabilities remain relevant and get stronger. At a time when customers have experienced signal security tools sprawl, this allows vendor reduction and consolidation without compromising security.This provides the power of choice for customers on outsourcing and technology.
• We operate as an extension of the customer’s team. Our approach is to become an extension of our customer’s team. We are responsive, accountable, and effective at communications across all levels of the customer.

Our joint capabilities and resources allow us to further help our customers strengthen their cybersecurity posture and stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape. Our core mission is to reduce the stress, and give the lives back, of modern-day CISO’s and security teams who increasingly are unfunded, and often undervalued, however, every day on the front lines fighting the good fight.

Together, CyberMaxx & CipherTechs, are better positioned to deliver on our core mission

CyberMaxx today announced the launch of MAXX MDR, a holistic, three-pronged approach to cybersecurity protection. The problem is many cyberattacks have become increasingly sophisticated with ample funding and automation. Most MDR providers lack integration expertise due to insufficient workflow across disparate products and services. What sets MAXX MDR apart is its proprietary solutions, custom-built in-house to work together collaboratively to protect your organization. MAXX MDR doesn’t solely detect and remediate cyberattacks; We strive to prevent them. With Gartner predicting 50% of organizations will be using MDR services by 2025, proactively choosing the right partner with the track record to tackle healthcare organizations’ unique needs is crucial. CyberMaxx’s combination of three proven technologies drives deeper analysis and more proactive prevention, freeing organizations to focus on their business initiatives at a fraction of the cost (and headache) of managing multiple vendors or building a solution in-house. MAXX MDR is comprised primarily of three technologies, along with optimal 24/7/365 monitored protection, both on-prem and in the cloud:
