A Modern Security Operations Model with MDR at Its Core

 

Optiv Agentic Security Operations (ASO) expands MDR into a broader, AI-powered security operations model. MDR remains a core component, but the service goes further by using agentic AI, automation, connected security tooling and Optiv practitioner expertise to reduce manual effort, improve detection accuracy and accelerate investigation and response

Unified Security Operations

 

ASO brings together MDR, agentic AI, automation, connected security tooling and Optiv practitioner expertise into a single managed experience. It is designed to help organizations move beyond traditional monitoring toward a connected, continuously improving security operations program.

 

 

MDR as Part of a Broader Model

 

Rather than treating MDR as the foundation, this model positions it as one component within a broader operating framework. Agentic AI autonomously analyzes and triages detection and response activity, performs follow-on searches andsupports deeper investigations, incorporating security data that analysts may not use manually due to time and complexity.

Visibility Across the Security Stack

Optiv practioners review outputs and validate decisions, accelerating time to value across both incident response and broader risk findings.
 

The service also connects disparate security systems across endpoint, cloud, identity, network and other environments, providing a more complete view so teams can prioritize effectively, coordinate action and improve outcomes over time.

 

The result is a connected security operations program that combines autonomous speed with expert oversight.

Who It’s For

Built for Teams Ready to Move Faster and Do More with Less

Security teams struggling with fragmented telemetry across cloud, identity, endpoint and SaaS


Organizations overwhelmed by alert volume and repetitive triage work


Teams using MDR today that need broader SOC modernization


Security programs with limited staffing that need expert support to scale detection and response


Organizations that need faster containment support when threats move across endpoint, identity, cloud, network and SaaS environments
