OT Managed Detection & Responsefor Critical Infrastructure

OT Managed Detection & Response (OT MDR) is a 24x7 managed cybersecurity service designed specifically for Operational Technology environments. Mithryl Systems continuously monitors industrial systems, investigates threats using operational context, performs proactive threat hunting, continuously improves detections, and provides expert guidance during cybersecurity incidents.

Unlike traditional MDR services that primarily protect IT assets, OT MDR is designed to protect production, safety, reliability, and operational continuity without disrupting industrial operations.

Traditional MDR focuses primarily on enterprise IT systems, where protecting data and endpoints is the primary objective.

OT MDR is built specifically for industrial environments where cybersecurity decisions directly affect physical operations. Every investigation considers operational context, engineering constraints, production impact, safety requirements, and regulatory obligations before response recommendations are made.

This operational perspective allows organizations to respond to cyber threats while minimizing unnecessary operational disruption.

Mithryl Systems monitors security events across industrial environments using telemetry from OT security platforms, network infrastructure, industrial assets, and supporting IT systems.

Monitoring commonly includes:

• Industrial network monitoring
• Firewalls
• Remote access infrastructure
• Engineering workstations
• Windows-based OT systems
• Active Directory
• SIEM platforms
• OT visibility platforms
• Cloud environments supporting industrial operations

Our service is vendor neutral and integrates with existing technology investments.

OT MDR is a managed cybersecurity service delivered by experienced OT cybersecurity professionals.

While we leverage advanced detection technologies, automation, and Augmented Intelligence, customers are purchasing operational expertise, continuous monitoring, investigations, threat hunting, detection engineering, and guided response rather than simply another software platform.

When an alert is generated, Mithryl Systems follows an operationally aware investigation process.

Our analysts:

1. Validate the alert.
2. Correlate related activity.
3. Add operational context.
4. Assess potential business impact.
5. Recommend an appropriate response.
6. Continue monitoring and improving future detections.

Rather than immediately recommending aggressive containment actions, we evaluate how response decisions could affect production, safety, reliability, and operational continuity.

Operational Context is the understanding of how industrial assets, engineering processes, production systems, and business operations work together.

Two cybersecurity alerts may appear identical technically but have dramatically different operational consequences.

By incorporating Operational Context into every investigation, Mithryl Systems helps organizations make safer, more informed response decisions that protect both cybersecurity and operations.

OT MDR is designed to complement your existing cybersecurity team.

Many organizations already have enterprise SOC capabilities but lack specialized OT expertise. Mithryl Systems extends existing security operations with industrial knowledge, operational context, Detection Engineering, threat hunting, and incident investigation while working alongside internal teams.

No.

Mithryl Systems integrates with your existing technology investments rather than replacing them.

Our OT MDR service works alongside leading SIEM, XDR, EDR, firewall, and OT monitoring platforms to improve visibility, detection quality, investigations, and operational decision making.

Our vendor-neutral approach protects your existing investments while improving their effectiveness.

Yes.

Detection Engineering is a core component of Mithryl Systems OT MDR.

Rather than relying on static detection rules, we continuously evaluate detection performance, identify blind spots, reduce false positives, improve coverage, and refine detection content based on evolving threats and operational feedback.

This continuous improvement process helps customers become more effective over time rather than simply maintaining the status quo.

Augmented Intelligence enhances the speed and quality of analyst decision making by helping correlate telemetry, identify meaningful relationships, prioritize investigations, and surface operational context.

AI assists our analysts by processing large volumes of data, but experienced OT cybersecurity professionals remain responsible for validating findings and providing response guidance.

Our philosophy is simple:

AI does the heavy lifting. Humans make the right decisions.

Yes.

OT MDR helps organizations improve operational resilience while supporting many common cybersecurity and regulatory frameworks, including:

• IEC 62443
• NERC CIP
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• NIST SP 800-82
• TSA Security Directives
• NIS2
• Industry-specific operational cybersecurity requirements

Our reporting, investigations, and operational visibility help organizations demonstrate stronger cybersecurity governance and readiness.

Yes.

Mithryl Systems is vendor neutral and integrates with many leading cybersecurity platforms, including:

• Dragos
• Claroty
• Nozomi Networks
• Armis
• Microsoft Sentinel
• Microsoft Defender
• Splunk
• Palo Alto Networks
• CrowdStrike
• Other SIEM, XDR, EDR, and OT monitoring solutions

Our goal is to maximize the value of the technologies you already own.

Deployment timelines vary depending on the complexity of the environment and existing technologies.

Organizations with established telemetry sources can often begin receiving monitoring services within weeks. Additional capabilities such as Detection Engineering, threat hunting, operational reporting, and Cyber Fusion initiatives are introduced in phases to maximize long-term value.

Operational resilience improves when organizations detect threats earlier, understand operational impact faster, and make better decisions during cybersecurity events.

Mithryl Systems strengthens resilience by combining continuous monitoring, expert investigations, operational context, Detection Engineering, threat hunting, and executive reporting into one continuously improving operational cybersecurity program.

Most MDR providers focus on detecting threats.

Mithryl Systems focuses on helping organizations make better operational decisions.

Our OT MDR service combines:

• Deep OT cybersecurity expertise
• Operational Intelligence
• Augmented Intelligence
• Continuous Detection Engineering
• Threat Hunting
• Digital Forensics
• Incident Response guidance
• Vendor-neutral integration
• Executive operational reporting

The result is a service designed not just to detect cyber threats, but to improve operational resilience, strengthen cybersecurity maturity, and help organizations operate with confidence.
