Managed Detection and Response (MDR): Augmenting Crystal Eye with 24/7 Human-Machine Security
Operations

Red Piranha’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service extends the Crystal Eye platform into a
full-spectrum SOC-as-a-Service, purpose-built to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to
threats at machine speed. Seamlessly integrated with Crystal Eye’s TDIR, NDR, endpoint, and identity
telemetry, MDR delivers 24×7 monitoring, rapid incident response, digital forensics (DFIR), proactive
threat hunting, and automated threat intelligence correlation.

Unlike traditional MSSPs, it offers deep, identity-aware and east-west traffic visibility, enabling early
detection of advanced threats like APTs and insider attacks. Its built-in SOAR capability automates triage
and mitigation, allowing expert analysts to focus on high-risk incidents while maintaining consistent,
scripted response actions. With ISO 27001-certified global SOCs, no extra integration or licensing
overhead, and use-case-driven tuning, Crystal Eye’s plug-and-play MDR delivers enterprise-grade
detection and response with lower operational burden making advanced security accessible even to
resource-constrained teams.

How Red Piranha’s Integrated Security Framework Works?

Red Piranha’s Declarative Authorization Service (DAS), Threat Detection and Incident Response (TDIR),
and Network Detection and Response (NDR), and Wireguard integrated with Entra ID SSO work together
to form a unified defense system that ensures comprehensive visibility, proactive mitigation, and
automated response.

When a security incident occurs, TDIR detects unusual user behavior, such as a compromised endpoint
attempting unauthorized access. This information is immediately correlated across the platform, enabling
DAS to revoke access rights in real-time and NDR to monitor and block any suspicious network activity.
By integrating these capabilities, Red Piranha eliminates security gaps and enables an adaptive, Zero
Trust-aligned security posture.

Technical Implementation in Action

1. Threat Detection: TDIR identifies anomalous activity from an endpoint, signaling a possible credential
compromise.
2. Automated Response: DAS instantly revokes the compromised user's access, while NDR prevents
unauthorized lateral movement by monitoring and blocking malicious network traffic.
3. Correlated Insights: Data from DAS, TDIR, and NDR, and Wireguard is aggregated, providing a detailed
incident report for faster investigation and response.
4. Ongoing Protection: Security policies are dynamically updated across the system, ensuring proactive
mitigation of similar threats in the future.
