Looking for leading managed detection and response providers? Cythera is your trusted partner in Australia and New Zealand.

Cythera’s MDR solution is built to give you peace of mind, knowing there’s always a dedicated team watching over your digital environment. We blend cutting-edge security tools with expert human insight to deliver a truly managed threat detection and response experience, not just alerts and dashboards.

Our approach goes beyond passive monitoring. We deliver an end-to-end service that reduces your internal workload while strengthening your cyber resilience. From early threat detection to rapid incident response, we act as an extension of your team, with a named Cythera analyst who works closely with you throughout.

24/7 Coverage from local experts

Cythera’s MDR is run out of our Security Operations Centre based in Australia and New Zealand, providing around-the-clock monitoring and response. We leverage advanced SIEM and SOAR platforms like Microsoft Sentinel, Rapid7 InsightIDR, CrowdStrike’s Next-Gen SIEM, and Swimlane to collect and correlate telemetry across your endpoints, networks, cloud infrastructure, and identity systems.

This allows us to detect threats such as unusual behaviour, lateral movement, and privilege abuse before they escalate.

Actionable intelligence, not alert fatigue

Our team fine-tunes detection rules, both custom and pre-configured, to filter out noise and surface only the alerts that matter. Each alert is enriched with threat intelligence and assessed by our analysts to understand severity and business risk. Depending on your preferences, we’ll work alongside your team or take direct action to contain threats and limit damage.

We also automate responses to known threats using Swimlane SOAR, ensuring immediate action for approved scenarios.
