F6 Launches Comprehensive SOC MDR Service for Proactive Cyber Incident Prevention and Response

**F6 Launches SOC MDR: A Comprehensive Solution for Cyber Defense**

F6, a leading developer of cybersecurity technologies, announces the debut of its new service, SOC MDR. This innovative offering represents a significant advancement in corporate cybersecurity, integrating cutting-edge technologies with the unique expertise of F6 in combating modern cybercrime. In response to the unprecedented increase in both the frequency and complexity of cyberattacks, the F6 Cybersecurity Center’s new service will provide clients with a thorough cycle of autonomous monitoring, response, and investigation regarding incidents in information security.

**A Surface-Level Perspective**

The contemporary landscape of cyber threats necessitates not only reliable technical defense systems but also a structured approach to continuous monitoring of the entire infrastructure—both the internal digital environment and the external perimeter.

According to F6, **9 out of 10** Russian companies encounter problems on their external perimeter, which can serve as potential entry points into their infrastructure. The exploitation of vulnerabilities at this boundary represents a highly effective target for attackers and is expected to remain so in the foreseeable future.

F6’s SOC MDR focuses on the external perimeter, providing constant centralized monitoring that can often be challenging for clients to achieve independently.

This new approach to analyzing external infrastructure enables the continuous and rapid identification of vulnerabilities, configuration errors, and exposed services susceptible to attacks, allowing for timely remediation before they can be exploited by cybercriminals. Furthermore, every detected issue is not only highlighted to the asset owner but also subject to thorough investigation to ensure it hasn’t already been leveraged and that cybercriminals have not infiltrated the infrastructure.

SOC MDR is designed to ensure prompt detection of both human-operated attacks and those utilizing artificial intelligence, along with active response measures that aim to contain and neutralize these threats before they materialize.

**The Battleground – The Internal Network**

Despite the existence of numerous preventive protective solutions, the internal perimeter remains the primary battleground in the active defense against motivated and professional attackers. Only specialists equipped with the right expertise and modern cybersecurity tools can protect infrastructure that has already come under attack.

When signs of a cyber intruder appear within a corporate network, the key is not just timely detection of the attack but also the speed and quality of the response. It’s crucial to swiftly localize the incident and understand its causes to minimize damage and prevent escalation. Here, traditional Security Operations Centers (SOCs) face limitations: monitoring functions are separated from response procedures, placing the burden of threat mitigation on an already overwhelmed information security team.

**F6’s SOC MDR Bridging the Gap**

F6’s SOC MDR closes this gap: the team of specialists not only provides constant supervision but also autonomously makes decisions to counteract threats without shifting this responsibility onto the client. Upon confirming an incident, F6 experts act immediately to:

— Isolate compromised devices
— Block malicious processes, accounts, and tools used by attackers
— Implement threat neutralization strategies, including restoring the infrastructure.

This self-sufficient response model sets a new standard for SOCs, transforming cybersecurity from a passive defense into an offensive one.

**An Ecosystem Approach**

To effectively combat cybercriminals, a single technology is not enough; a system that integrates tools and expertise is required. At the heart of SOC MDR lies the F6 Threat Intelligence system, which enriches the service daily with the latest information on new tactics and tools used by attackers. The combination of cybersecurity intelligence with F6’s comprehensive threat response solutions enables proactive control over all critical attack vectors. Moreover, client-implemented protective measures seamlessly integrate into the service’s analytic architecture, preserving previous investments and enhancing security levels.

**Thorough Investigations**

F6’s SOC MDR service implements a full cycle of investigation, establishing a complete timeline and understanding of causes, as analyzing the entire lifecycle of an attack is critical in determining its source. Failing to do so leaves no guarantee that, having repelled a current attack, a company won’t soon face a new one evolving along a different, possibly more successful path for the attackers.

*»Our clients gain not merely a service, but a complete operational information security team with access to expert knowledge, modern tools, and the capability to effectively counter sophisticated attacks. The service encompasses all key stages from proactive threat monitoring to incident resolution. Companies, in turn, receive comprehensive external security management. F6’s SOC MDR is a strategic step forward, helping organizations win the fight against ever-evolving threats when traditional approaches fall short: transitioning from passive waiting to proactive, intelligent defense where the F6 team guarantees security,»* notes **Yaroslav Kargalev**, head of F6 Cybersecurity Center.
