FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Co-Security Services
Find answers to common questions about our managed security services, how they work, and which option is right for your organization.
Co-Security Services are a range of expert-backed security services designed to work alongside your existing team. They include Elevate, Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Incident Response Services, and Elements Infinite. Each service strengthens your security capabilities through collaboration, ensuring no single entity has to tackle every cybersecurity challenge alone.
It depends on your needs and maturity level. If you manage your own EDR and need occasional expert guidance, Elevate is ideal. If you need continuous 24/7 monitoring and response, MDR is the right fit. For incident preparedness and guaranteed response, choose Incident Response Services. If you want a comprehensive, fully managed solution covering all aspects, Elements Infinite is the premium option. Not sure where to start? We’ll help you work it out — just get in touch.
Yes. All WithSecure™ Co-Security Services are part of the WithSecure™ Elements platform and portfolio. They integrate seamlessly with Elements EDR and other Elements modules, providing a unified experience through the Elements Security Center.
WithSecure Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a fully managed, 24/7 cybersecurity service where WithSecure experts continuously monitor your IT environment, investigate threats, and respond on your behalf using data collected by Elements EDR. It gives you access to expert-backed capabilities that your in-house team may not be able to cover.
Elevate is a threat analysis and guidance service for Elements EDR customers. It uses a token-based, pay-as-you-go model that lets you validate threats and get expert investigation and remediation guidance directly within the Elements Security Center. It is available 24/7/365.
Elevate is an on-demand service where you choose when to escalate specific detections for expert analysis, using tokens.
MDR provides continuous 24/7 monitoring and response — our team proactively watches your environment and takes action on your behalf. Elevate is ideal for teams that manage their own EDR but want expert backup, while MDR fully offloads detection and response.
Broad Context Detections™ (BCDs) are WithSecure’s cloud-native EDR technology powered by behavioral analytics. BCDs group multiple detections as incidents and present them with broader context to minimize alert fatigue and filter out false positives, enabling faster triaging and prioritization of response actions.
Both provide SLA-backed, priority access to WithSecure’s Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) specialists during cybersecurity incidents.
- The Elements DFIR Retainer is designed exclusively for Elements platform customers – it requires no pre-paid days, with services consumed on demand at pre-agreed rates. Broader use of the Elements platform unlocks greater DFIR discounts, making it an insurance-like model.
- The traditional IR Retainer is available to any organization, regardless of platform, and includes pre-paid days with discounted rates. Both ensure you’re never alone during a major incident.
WithSecure offers Emergency Incident Response Support for organizations without a retainer. Resources are provided on an availability basis, though response times and fees may differ from retainer clients who receive guaranteed 72-hour support and priority access.
Incident Readiness helps you build and strengthen your plans before an incident occurs. WithSecure reviews your existing documentation or develops new plans from scratch — covering Incident Response, Crisis Management, and Business Continuity. Plans are tailored to your business risk and aligned to best practice frameworks including NIS2, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF.
Elements Infinite is WithSecure’s premium turn-key managed service. It combines Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and an Incident Response Retainer into one comprehensive solution. Our Detection and Response Team reacts to detections in minutes, spends up to 30% of their time proactively hunting threats, and provides a dedicated Customer Success Manager.
Elements Infinite is designed for customers with the most challenging needs or highest risk profiles who want a comprehensive, fully managed security service. It is ideal for organizations that want to refocus their IT resources on core business goals while WithSecure handles exposure management, detection and response, and incident readiness.
