AI SecOps and MDR Built for the Public Sector
eSentire is the Authority in Managed Detection and Response (MDR), protecting the critical data and applications of 2,000+ organizations in 80+ countries, across 35 industries, from known and unknown cyber threats. Founded in 2001, eSentire protects some of the world's most targeted organizations, with 65% of its global customer base recognized as critical infrastructure vital to economic health and stability — a profile that overlaps directly with the public sector agencies and public services eSentire supports today.
Public sector organizations carry many of the same risk factors that put private critical infrastructure operators in an attacker's crosshairs: essential services that can't tolerate downtime, sensitive constituent and citizen data, and security teams stretched thin against a growing threat surface. eSentire's Atlas Platform closes that gap by combining open XDR platform technology, 24/7 threat hunting, and proven security operations leadership — helping agencies anticipate, withstand, and recover from cyberattacks without having to build and staff an equivalent capability internally.
At the center of the offering is 24/7 SOC coverage, where eSentire's Cyber Resilience Team pairs AI-driven security operations with elite human expertise across the Atlas Platform to deliver a 15-minute Mean Time to Contain — full threat visibility, investigation, and rapid response, day or night, with unlimited incident handling.
eSentire's Threat Response Unit (TRU), a team of seasoned industry veterans, delivers original threat intelligence and proactive threat research so public sector security teams can stay ahead of the campaigns most likely to target government and public services, rather than learning about them after the fact.
For agencies balancing mission delivery against constrained security budgets and headcount, eSentire offers a way to get award-winning, continuously monitored MDR/XDR protection — backed by 300+ technology integrations and proven at scale across thousands of daily investigations and threat containments — without the cost, hiring timeline, and ongoing overhead of standing up an equivalent capability in-house.
FAQ
Atlas is eSentire's unified Security Operations Platform, combining AI-led investigation with 24/7 human SOC analysts to detect, investigate, and respond to threats across endpoint, identity, email, and cloud. It's the foundation for eSentire's MDR, XDR, threat intelligence, and incident response services, and supports 300+ technology integrations.
eSentire's MDR combines 24/7 SOC coverage with AI-led investigation and response; XDR is the open platform technology that unifies signal from endpoint, network, identity, and cloud sources so investigations aren't limited to a single data source. Atlas AI is fully embedded in the platform and included as part of MDR.
Atlas AIDR (AI Detection & Response) gives organizations an attributable record of AI activity — which agents, models, and MCP servers are in use, what data they touched, and what it's costing — with PII redaction and prompt-injection screening enforced inline. Unlike tools that only inventory AI agents, Atlas AIDR also monitors MCP servers for behavior change after approval and is investigated by the same 24/7 SOC and Threat Response Unit (TRU) that covers the rest of the environment.
