Managed detection and response in San Antonio: a SOC that never blinks.
Real analysts watching your endpoints, network, cloud, and email around the clock, hunting threats and containing them in minutes, not discovering them weeks later. MDR layered on the EDR and XDR you already run, from a local San Antonio team you can actually reach.
Built for businesses that can’t staff a 24/7 SOC
The gaps MDR is built to close
Dwell time
The average intruder sits inside a network for weeks before anyone notices, plenty of time to spread, steal, and stage ransomware. Detection you check on Monday is detection that already lost.
The after-hours gap
Attacks are timed for nights, weekends, and holidays, exactly when no one is watching the console. A SOC that clocks out isn’t a SOC.
Alert fatigue
Your tools already fire thousands of alerts. Without analysts to triage them, the one that matters drowns in the noise and gets clicked away.
Tools without a team
Antivirus and EDR agents detect, but detection without a human hunting and responding is just a louder alarm no one answers.
What Evolution Technologies delivers
We run detection and response as a managed 24/7/365 service: a real Security Operations Center watching your endpoints, network, cloud, and email, hunting for the signals that precede a breach, and containing threats the moment they appear. MDR is layered on the EDR that protects each device and the XDR that correlates across your whole stack, so a multi-vector attack has nowhere to hide. AI-enhanced analytics scan continuously for anomalies and surface emerging threats fast, while our SOC analysts make the call.
Layered Engineering
Where this fits in Layered Engineering
MDR is protection that never stops. We assess your exposure, protect every layer, and operate the defense continuously as one watched system rather than a shelf of tools that only alarm.
Inside the service
24/7 Security Operations Center
A staffed SOC watching your environment around the clock (the capability most San Antonio SMBs can’t build or afford in-house), so someone is always on when an attack lands.
Threat detection & hunting
We don’t just wait for alerts. Analysts proactively hunt for the subtle signals of an intruder already inside, before they can act.
Endpoint detection & response (EDR)
Next-gen protection on every laptop and server that detects and stops ransomware and malware at the device, the foundation MDR watches over.
Extended detection & response (XDR)
Correlates signals across endpoints, cloud, network, and email so a complex, multi-vector attack that slips past any single tool is caught by the pattern across all of them.
SIEM & continuous monitoring
Centralized log collection and correlation with continuous monitoring: the evidence trail your compliance standards and cyber-insurer expect to see.
Incident response & containment
When something is real, we move: isolate the affected systems, eradicate the threat, and recover fast, with a clear account of what happened.
Ransomware isolation & recovery
Detection tied to isolated, tested backups so a ransomware attempt is contained and reversible instead of catastrophic.
Reporting you can hand to an auditor
Clear monitoring and incident reporting mapped to the compliance standards you answer to and the controls your cyber-insurance requires.
Proof
Real numbers from our Security Operations Center
“In an age where it is almost impossible to find consistent and reliable support, this company is a reminder that it’s out there. We’ve never been in better hands with our IT systems — these guys are consummate professionals, every time, all the time.”
Recognized Expertise
A nationally recognized team running your local SOC.
Evolution Technologies was named to the CRN 2026 MSP 500 (Pioneer 250), and our team’s cybersecurity expertise is featured in Cyber Defense Magazine, most recently on why small and midsize businesses have become the fastest-growing attack surface. Managed detection and response is where that expertise shows up every day: the same Layered Engineering approach (endpoints, cloud, network, and email watched and correlated as one continuously-improving posture), run by analysts based here in San Antonio, not a faceless national queue.

Know what to watch before you watch it.
A security assessment maps the gaps and exposure MDR then monitors, and a risk assessment frames it in business terms. Start with a clear picture, then put a 24/7 SOC behind it. No fear tactics.
Frequently asked questions
What is managed detection and response (MDR)?
MDR is a managed service that combines security technology with a human-staffed Security Operations Center. Instead of just installing detection tools, you get analysts monitoring your environment 24/7, hunting for threats, and responding to contain them, so detection actually leads to action, around the clock.
MDR vs EDR vs XDR: what’s the difference?
EDR (endpoint detection and response) protects individual devices: laptops and servers. XDR (extended detection and response) correlates signals across endpoints, cloud, network, and email to catch multi-vector attacks no single tool would see. MDR is the managed service and the people: a 24/7 SOC operating your EDR and XDR, hunting and responding on your behalf. You need the tools and the team; MDR is how you get both without staffing a SOC yourself.
Do you replace our existing security tools?
Not necessarily. We work with strong tooling you already own where it makes sense and add what’s missing. The value of MDR is the 24/7 analysts, threat hunting, and response wrapped around the stack, not just another product.
How fast do you detect and respond?
Our SOC monitors around the clock, so detection isn’t waiting for someone to log in Monday morning. When a real threat appears, we move to contain it (isolating affected systems and stopping the spread) rather than logging it for later.
Is MDR overkill for a small business?
No. SMBs are targeted precisely because attackers expect no one is watching after hours. Most attacks are automated and opportunistic. MDR gives a small San Antonio business the same 24/7 detection and response that used to require an enterprise security team.
Does MDR help with cyber-insurance and compliance?
Yes. Continuous monitoring, SIEM reporting, and documented incident response are increasingly required by cyber-insurers and map directly to compliance frameworks. We provide the monitoring evidence and reporting your insurer and auditors expect.
