Security operations that understand the environment

Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare networks rely on connected identities, endpoints, email, cloud services, and third-party access. Security teams need to investigate suspicious activity across those systems while accounting for the workflows that clinicians and staff depend on.

Managed detection and response (MDR) combines continuous monitoring, investigation, and response support. BitLyft extends your team with a managed security operation that connects the evidence, assesses the case, and coordinates action within an agreed scope.

This page explains how the service fits into your operations. For the broader industry overview, explore BitLyft's healthcare cybersecurity solutions.

Connect the signals that matter

Identity and privileged access

Investigate suspicious sign-ins, unexpected privilege changes, and compromised staff or vendor accounts across supported identity environments.

Email and account compromise

Correlate phishing, malicious inbox rules, and related account activity. Bring context to incidents that could expose sensitive information or enable unauthorized access.

Endpoints and ransomware activity

Review supported endpoint signals and coordinate approved containment. Define exclusions and escalation requirements around systems where disruption could affect clinical operations.

Cloud and third-party connections

Scope coverage around available telemetry from supported services and vendor access. Identify integration gaps explicitly instead of assuming every connected system is monitored.

FROM MDR TO AMDR

Agentic execution.
Human accountability.

Agentic Managed Detection and Response (AMDR) is BitLyft's fully managed security service, powered by BitLyft AIR®. AIR is the autonomous security operations technology. AMDR combines that technology with BitLyft's SOC expertise and managed service delivery.

Routine cases move toward resolution

AIR assembles evidence, investigates activity, and executes approved response actions for eligible cases within configured policies. The investigation and actions remain available as a reviewable record.

Clinical context stays in the decision

Experienced analysts handle exceptions, uncertainty, and higher-risk decisions. Your team works with BitLyft to define approval boundaries, escalation contacts, and actions that require human review.

Response capabilities depend on supported integrations and authorized permissions. Medical devices and care-critical systems require explicit scoping, vendor considerations, and agreed restrictions; their presence on the network does not mean automated containment is enabled.

From a security signal to an accountable response

  1. Connect

    Bring agreed identity, email, endpoint, cloud, and network signals into scope through supported integrations.

  2. Investigate

    Correlate activity, assemble evidence, and assess what happened in the context of the affected environment.

  3. Respond

    Carry out eligible approved actions. Escalate exceptions and potentially disruptive decisions to the appropriate people.

  4. Review

    Keep a record of findings and actions so security and IT teams can review outcomes and refine the response plan.

Establish the boundaries before enabling response

Map coverage and dependencies

Review your security tools, critical services, third-party access, and escalation paths. Identify the telemetry available from each integration and document systems that are out of scope.

Agree on actions and approvals

Define authorized actions, clinical-system exclusions, notification requirements, and response ownership. Validate the operating model with your stakeholders before automated response is enabled.

AMDR complements your broader program. Asset management, backups, recovery testing, workforce training, and organizational compliance responsibilities still need clear owners.

Healthcare MDR questions, answered

How does AMDR differ from traditional MDR?

MDR provides managed monitoring, investigation, and response. BitLyft AMDR adds agentic execution through AIR for eligible routine investigations and approved actions, while a human-led SOC handles exceptions and higher-risk decisions.

Can BitLyft work with our existing security tools?

Coverage depends on supported integrations, available telemetry, and the permissions you authorize. Scoping reviews your existing identity, endpoint, email, cloud, and network tools and identifies gaps before configuration.

Will AMDR automatically isolate medical devices?

Not by default. Actions must be supported, authorized, and included in the agreed response policy. Medical devices and care-critical systems need explicit review of vendor constraints, operational dependencies, exclusions, and human-approval requirements.

Does using MDR make our organization HIPAA compliant?

No. MDR can support security monitoring, investigation, response, and documentation, but purchasing a service does not establish compliance. Your organization remains responsible for its wider safeguards, policies, risk management, and applicable obligations. See the HHS overview of the HIPAA Security Rule for context.
