Managed EDR on CrowdStrike Falcon

Endpoint detection and response only delivers value when it is monitored, tuned and acted on 24/7. Passeca operates CrowdStrike Falcon for you โ€” with PassAI-Guard triage and certified analysts.

Managed EDR from Passeca operates the CrowdStrike Falcon platform on your behalf โ€” deploying the sensor, monitoring telemetry 24/7, tuning detections to your estate, hunting for threats, and containing confirmed attacks. PassAI-Guard triages alerts so analysts focus on genuine threats, not noise.

Definition

What is managed EDR?

EDR is the platform; managed EDR is the service that makes it work.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a platform that records endpoint activity and detects malicious behaviour. But an EDR licence alone does not protect you: its alerts must be monitored around the clock, its detections tuned to your environment, and its response capabilities acted on when a threat is confirmed.

Managed EDR is the service that does this for you. Passeca operates CrowdStrike Falcon end to end, so the platform you invest in actually delivers the protection you bought it for.

Who needs it

Who needs managed EDR?

  • You run CrowdStrike (or need to) but lack 24/7 analyst coverage to watch it.
  • Your team is drowning in alerts and wants triage and false-positive suppression off their plate.
  • You need committed response SLAs that an unmanaged tool cannot provide.
  • You want endpoint coverage as a stepping stone toward a broader MDR or SOC-as-a-Service engagement.
What's included

What the service covers

CrowdStrike Falcon sensor deployment and management
24/7 monitoring of endpoint telemetry

Detection engineering and tuning to your estate
Proactive threat hunting
Containment โ€” host isolation and IOC blocking
Escalation into incident response when needed
Regular operational reporting and SLA review
How it works

From sensor to containment

  1. 01

    Deploy & baseline

    We deploy the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor across your endpoints and baseline your environment โ€” privileged accounts, approved tooling, and expected behaviour โ€” so detections are accurate from day one.

  2. 02

    24/7 monitoring

    Passeca analysts monitor Falcon telemetry around the clock, with PassAI-Guard triaging and enriching alerts so human attention lands on genuine threats.

  3. 03

    Detection tuning & hunting

    We continuously tune detections to your estate and hunt proactively for threats Falcon surfaces but that require human investigation โ€” malware-free intrusion and lateral movement.

  4. 04

    Response & containment

    On a confirmed threat, we contain immediately โ€” network-isolating a host or blocking an indicator via Falcon โ€” under the agreed response playbook, then escalate into incident response if needed.

The technology

CrowdStrike Falcon + PassAI-Guard

A market-leading EDR platform, operated by Passeca with its own AI triage layer on top.

CrowdStrike Falcon provides the endpoint telemetry, detection and response via a single lightweight agent. PassAI-Guard sits on top as the AI triage layer โ€” classifying, deduplicating and scoring alerts, enriching them with threat-intel and asset context, and running SOAR playbooks for routine containment. Passeca analysts handle the genuine threats that need human judgement. See the CrowdStrike partner page and the PassAI-Guard platform page.

FAQ

Managed EDR, answered

The questions organisations ask before outsourcing endpoint detection and response.

What is managed EDR?
Managed EDR is a service in which a provider monitors, tunes and responds on an endpoint detection and response platform on your behalf, 24/7. Passeca's managed EDR runs on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, with PassAI-Guard providing AI triage and Passeca analysts providing the human detection engineering, hunting and response.
Why CrowdStrike Falcon?
CrowdStrike Falcon is a market-leading EDR/XDR platform with a single lightweight agent, a rich threat-graph and strong detection and response capabilities. Passeca implements, tunes and operates it as part of our partner stack โ€” see our CrowdStrike partner page.
Do we need managed EDR if we already own CrowdStrike?
Owning the platform is not the same as operating it. CrowdStrike generates alerts that require 24/7 monitoring, tuning and response to deliver value; without that, the tool sits under-used. Managed EDR turns the licence you already pay for into active protection.
How is managed EDR different from MDR?
Managed EDR is endpoint-focused โ€” it operates your EDR platform. MDR is broader, covering multiple tools (EDR, cloud, exposure, attack surface) with detection engineering and active response across the stack. Managed EDR is often the starting point that grows into MDR.
What are the response SLAs?
Managed EDR carries committed targets for detection and response. Response targets are defined in your service agreement.
How much does managed EDR cost?
Pricing is per endpoint, sized to the estate and the response-authorisation level.
