24/7 threat detection and response
without building your own SOC.
PowerDefend MXDR gives you enterprise-grade security operations managed by Emircom’s expert analysts. We monitor your entire IT environment around the clock, detect threats across endpoints and networks, and respond before damage happens. You get the protection of a full security operations center without the cost of building one.
Built on Cisco XDR. Powered by Cisco Talos threat intelligence. Managed by Emircom.
What makes this different:
Traditional EDR only watches endpoints (laptops, servers, devices). PowerDefend MXDR monitors your entire security stack. Network traffic, cloud workloads, endpoint activity, email gateways, firewalls. We ingest telemetry from all your security tools, correlate the data, and catch threats that single-point solutions miss.
How it works:
Our security analysts monitor your environment 24/7/365. Machine learning filters out false positives. When a real threat surfaces, our team investigates, contains it, and eliminates it. You get incident reports with context, not just alerts. Your team stays focused on business operations while we handle the security operations grind.
What you get:
- Threat detection across your full IT ecosystem (not just endpoints)
- Expert security analysts working your incidents in real time
- Cisco Talos global threat intelligence fed directly into your monitoring
- Faster response times (minutes, not hours or days)
- No hiring, training, or retaining expensive security staff
Real outcome
A financial services firm in Dubai needed NCA-compliant threat monitoring but couldn’t justify a full SOC build (estimated AED 4M annually). PowerDefend MXDR gave them 24/7 coverage, expert incident response, and compliance-ready reporting for a fraction of the cost. Their internal IT team stopped chasing security alerts and focused on digital banking initiatives instead.

PowerDefend Based on Cisco XDR
PowerDefend MXDR is a Managed Service powered by Cisco XDR is ideal for businesses and organizations that prioritize advanced cybersecurity, operational efficiency, and a unified approach to threat detection and response
Cisco’s XDR capabilities integrate data from endpoints, networks, emails, servers, and cloud environments, allowing managed service providers to identify advanced threats across all attack vectors. It correlates and prioritizes alerts for actionable intelligence while reducing false positives through AI-driven analytics.
Cisco technologies such as Secure Endpoint, Secure Network Analytics, Umbrella, Duo, and Secure Email work seamlessly under the XDR framework. This integration provides a single-pane-of-glass view for threat monitoring and incident response, reduces operational complexity by eliminating tool silos, and streamlines the deployment and management of security solutions.
Cisco-powered XDR, combined with a managed service provider, enables advanced threat hunting continuously conducted by security experts. AI and machine learning models detect threats early, even in encrypted traffic, while automated response actions like isolating endpoints or blocking malicious IPs occur in real time.
Cisco's rich ecosystem accelerates response times through pre-configured playbooks and automated workflows. It reduces the mean time to detect (MTTD) and respond (MTTR) to incidents, while offering granular control for forensic analysis and root cause investigation.
System integrator-managed services ensure configurations tailored to the specific needs of your organization. Cisco XDR delivers scalable security solutions that grow with your organization’s infrastructure and evolving threat landscape.
By leveraging Cisco technology with a managed service provider, organizations benefit from 24/7 monitoring and expert security services without the need for an in-house team. Subscription-based pricing reduces upfront investments in hardware and software, while automated updates and streamlined operations lower the total cost of ownership.
Cisco’s integration of Zero Trust principles enhances security through continuous verification of user and device identity via Cisco Duo. It also enforces granular access controls based on least privilege and strengthens defenses against insider threats and lateral movement.
Cisco’s Talos Threat Intelligence delivers real-time global threat insights for proactive defense. It provides up-to-date threat signatures and behavioral patterns while sharing intelligence to predict and mitigate emerging threats effectively.
Cisco XDR simplifies regulatory compliance through built-in reporting templates for frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. It offers logs and activity records essential for audits, while managed services handle ongoing compliance requirements.
A Cisco-based XDR managed service minimizes downtime caused by cyberattacks. Its adaptive and resilient solutions help maintain business continuity and enable organizations to recover quickly from incidents.
