WEBINAR | Managed Detection & Response Webinar - Key Takeaways
2 min read.
As the threat landscape continues to evolve, our recent webinar explored how organisations can strengthen their security posture with Managed Detection and Response (MDR).
Hosted by Netprotocol’s Technical Director Mike Batters, the session covered the latest trends, risks and practical defences shaping cybersecurity in 2025.
The Evolving Threat Landscape
The move to cloud-based platforms such as Microsoft 365, HR systems and dictation tools has dissolved traditional network perimeters.
Hybrid working has expanded exposure points as users connect from multiple locations and devices.
AI is now being weaponised by cybercriminals, allowing attacks to adapt and scale faster than ever.
Social engineering tactics, including impersonation, phone scams and trust-based fraud are increasingly common.
Common Gaps Identified
Firewalls no longer cover remote endpoints; devices outside office networks are often less protected.
Microsoft 365 lacks automated response capabilities to contain threats as they emerge.
Human error remains a leading risk which is why continuous phishing simulations and user awareness training are vital.
Strengthening Defence Layers
Extend protection beyond the office with web content filtering that follows users wherever they work.
Reinforce endpoint controls, including USB restrictions, to prevent malicious access.
Maintain regular phishing and awareness campaigns to keep cybersecurity front of mind.
How MDR Enhances Protection
Netprotocol partners with Arctic Wolf to deliver a proactive, 24/7 Managed Detection & Response service. Using AI-driven analytics and a global security operations team, the platform:
Monitors data from multiple sources, including firewalls, Microsoft 365 and SentinelOne in order to identify unusual or high-risk activity.
Detects anomalous behaviour such as logins outside normal hours or irregular email patterns.
Enables real-time response: isolating devices, locking accounts and mitigating risks even while your team is offline.
Shares sector-specific threat intelligence across the legal industry, helping clients stay ahead of emerging attacks.
Looking Ahead
MDR technology continues to evolve, with upcoming integrations to further tighten access controls through Fortinet-based endpoints.
