Identify threats faster and respond before they cause business disruption
ParagonIT helps organisations strengthen their cyber resilience with practical, business-focused Detection & Response services. We help you identify threats earlier, investigate suspicious activity faster, and take decisive action to contain incidents before they spread. Our approach combines modern security tooling, expert oversight, and well-defined response processes to help your business stay protected in an increasingly hostile digital environment.
A proactive approach to modern cyber defence
Traditional security controls such as firewalls and antivirus remain important, but they are no longer enough on their own. Today's threats often bypass perimeter defences, target identities, exploit misconfigurations, or move laterally across cloud and on-premises environments.
ParagonIT delivers a layered Detection & Response capability designed to improve visibility across your users, endpoints, infrastructure, Microsoft 365 environment, and wider IT estate. We help you move from reactive IT support to a more mature security posture where suspicious behaviour is identified, assessed, and acted on quickly.
What our Cybersecurity Detection & Response services include
A comprehensive set of detection, investigation and response capabilities designed to improve your security posture across users, endpoints, cloud platforms and identity systems.
Threat Monitoring
We help monitor your environment for suspicious events, indicators of compromise, policy breaches, and abnormal activity across key systems and services.
Endpoint Detection & Response
We deploy and manage tools that provide deeper visibility into endpoint behaviour, helping detect malware, ransomware, credential theft, unauthorised access, and suspicious execution patterns.
Microsoft 365 & Identity Monitoring
As identity-based attacks continue to rise, we help monitor Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and related platforms for risky sign-ins, unusual account activity, privilege misuse, and potential compromise.
Alert Triage & Investigation
Not every alert is a real threat. We help assess, prioritise, and investigate alerts so your team can focus on what matters most and avoid unnecessary noise.
Incident Response Support
When a security event occurs, we provide guidance and technical support to help contain the threat, reduce impact, and support recovery actions.
Security Event Visibility
We help improve visibility across your environment by connecting relevant security logs, signals, and alerts to create a clearer picture of what is happening across your systems.
Containment & Remediation Guidance
Where threats are detected, we assist with recommended response actions such as isolating devices, disabling accounts, enforcing resets, blocking indicators, and improving security controls.
Reporting & Continuous Improvement
We provide reporting, insights, and practical recommendations to strengthen your overall security posture over time.

We work with your business to understand your environment, existing controls, operational priorities, and risk profile. From there, we help implement and support a Detection & Response capability that is practical, scalable, and aligned to your needs.
This may include improving endpoint telemetry, reviewing identity protections, tuning alerts, integrating monitoring platforms, defining escalation pathways, and supporting incident response processes.

Detection & Response questions, answered directly.
Straightforward answers to what organisations most commonly ask before engaging ParagonIT for Cybersecurity Detection & Response services.
What is Cybersecurity Detection & Response?
Cybersecurity Detection & Response is a service focused on identifying suspicious activity, investigating potential threats, and taking action to contain and remediate security incidents before they cause major harm. It goes beyond perimeter controls to provide active visibility and response capability across your environment.
Why is Detection & Response important?
Many cyber attacks are not prevented by perimeter defences alone. Detection & Response helps identify threats that get through existing controls, reducing dwell time and helping businesses respond faster — dramatically reducing the potential damage from a security incident.
Is this the same as antivirus?
No. Traditional antivirus is only one part of security. Detection & Response typically includes broader monitoring, behavioural analysis, alert investigation, and response actions across endpoints, identities, and cloud systems — providing much deeper coverage than traditional antivirus tools.
Can you monitor Microsoft 365 and user accounts?
Yes. ParagonIT can help monitor Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and related identity services for suspicious sign-ins, account misuse, privilege escalation, and other risky activity — helping protect one of the most targeted attack surfaces in modern business environments.
Do you provide incident response support?
Yes. We can assist with incident investigation, containment guidance, remediation actions, and recovery support depending on the nature of the event and your service arrangement. Our focus is on helping your business respond quickly and confidently.
What kinds of threats can this help detect?
This can help detect threats such as ransomware activity, malware, phishing-related account compromise, suspicious sign-in behaviour, credential misuse, unusual endpoint activity, and other indicators of compromise across your users, devices and cloud platforms.
Is this service suitable for small and mid-sized businesses?
Yes. Detection & Response is increasingly important for SMBs as well as larger organisations. We tailor the approach to suit your environment, risk level, and operational requirements — ensuring the capability is practical and proportionate to your business size.
Can this work with our existing security tools?
In many cases, yes. We can assess your current security stack and determine how to improve visibility, alerting, and response using existing investments where practical — ensuring you get better value from the tools you already have.
Do we need 24/7 monitoring?
That depends on your business risk profile, operating hours, compliance needs, and internal capability. We can help design an approach that is appropriate for your organisation — balancing coverage, cost and operational requirements.
How does this fit with managed IT services?
Detection & Response complements managed IT services by adding a stronger security layer. It helps move beyond general support into active threat visibility, incident readiness, and cyber risk reduction — forming part of a cohesive approach to cyber risk management.
