Managed Detection & Response (MDR) Services
Universities are prime targets for cyberattacks due to their decentralized IT environments, high data volumes, and public-facing systems. Traditional security tools often fail to identify early indicators of compromise, especially when your team is overwhelmed by alert fatigue or short on time.
NewPush's MDR service, available at NewPush Platform, provides 24/7 threat detection, real-time incident response, and continuous monitoring across your endpoints, servers, and networks. Backed by our proprietary platform—built on the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF)—we help you transition from reactive firefighting to proactive defense.

Frequently Asked Questions About Managed Detection & Response
What is MDR, and how does it differ from traditional managed security services?
MDR combines real-time monitoring, threat detection, and active incident response into one unified service. Unlike basic managed security services that focus on alerting or log collection, MDR includes hands-on remediation and direct threat containment.
Why is MDR especially important for Higher Education institutions?
Universities face a unique combination of decentralized IT, open access networks, and valuable data—from student PII to research assets. MDR provides Higher Ed with expert-driven security without the need for a large internal SOC.
Does NewPush MDR integrate with our current EDR or SIEM solution?
Yes. Our MDR services are platform-agnostic and designed to integrate with your existing security stack. Whether you use Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or Splunk, we'll work with what you have to maximize protection.
Can your MDR service support compliance requirements like NIST 800-171 or CMMC?
Absolutely. Our MDR platform supports technical controls required under several compliance frameworks, including continuous monitoring, incident detection, audit logging, and forensic readiness. We also help generate documentation for assessments.
How quickly does NewPush respond to threats?
Our SOC operates 24/7 with defined SLAs for triage and escalation. Critical incidents are responded to in real time with analyst-led investigations and coordinated response actions.
Will we still maintain control over our security tools?
Yes. With NewPush MDR, you retain control over your environment. We operate as an extension of your IT and security team, offering support and guidance without disrupting governance or autonomy.
Do you provide reporting for executive and board-level stakeholders?
Yes. We deliver both technical and executive-level reports. These include incident summaries, risk insights, response timelines, and trend analysis to support internal briefings and board presentations.
Can you help us detect insider threats or lateral movement within our network?
Yes. We analyze behavior, access patterns, and event anomalies to detect internal misuse, compromised accounts, and lateral movement. Our MDR team uses advanced detection logic to identify these often-overlooked threats.
