24/7 SIEM Log Correlation
Endpoint, network, and cloud logs correlated in one place around the clock, so a suspicious pattern across multiple systems doesn't go unnoticed because each tool only sees its own slice.
Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
An alert nobody is watching at 2am is not protection, it's a log file. Ghosxt delivers 24/7 managed detection and response for California small businesses — SIEM log correlation, human-reviewed alerts, and real containment action — the SOC-level coverage a large enterprise runs in-house, sized and priced for a small business, from a DoD-cleared engineer.
Built by a DoD-cleared engineer — a human watching, not a dashboard nobody checks.
Alerts are not the same as being watched
Modern security tools generate a lot of alerts — endpoint detection, firewall logs, cloud sign-in events, email security flags. Most small businesses have some of these tools already and nobody actually watching the output in real time. An alert that sits in a dashboard until Monday morning is not protection during the 60 hours that follow it.
MDR is the human layer that makes those tools worth having: an analyst correlating signals across your endpoints, network, and cloud environment, deciding in real time what's a real threat, and taking action — not just forwarding you an email.
Why a DoD-cleared engineer is different here
Threat detection and response is the exact discipline Ghosxt's founder practiced inside DoD networks, where an unwatched alert was never an acceptable outcome. That standard is what we apply to a small business environment — real analysis and containment, not a managed tool subscription with no one actually behind it.
What's included
Human-Reviewed Alert Triage
A real analyst reviews flagged activity and decides what's a genuine threat versus noise — not an inbox full of automated alerts you're expected to interpret yourself.
Threat Hunting
Proactive searches for signs of compromise that didn't trip an automated alert, rather than waiting for a tool to flag something after the fact.
Incident Containment
When something real is found, we act directly — isolating a device, disabling a compromised account — instead of just notifying you and waiting for a callback.
Compliance-Ready Reporting
Monitoring and incident documentation formatted for the cyber-insurance and compliance requirements (CMMC, HIPAA, PCI) that increasingly expect it.
Integration With Existing Tools
Built around the EDR, firewall, and email security you already have where possible, rather than ripping out and replacing a stack that's working.

MDR is the monitoring layer on top of the endpoint protection already covered in managed cybersecurity, and it works alongside penetration testing and Zero Trust architecture as part of a complete security posture — detection, prevention, and verification, not just one piece of it.
Managed Detection & Response FAQs
What's the difference between MDR and the EDR we already have?
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is the sensor sitting on each device generating alerts. MDR is the 24/7 human service that watches those alerts — and the ones from your network and cloud environment — correlates them, decides what's actually a threat, and acts on it. EDR without MDR behind it is a stream of alerts nobody is reliably watching at 2am.
Isn't this the same as a SOC?
MDR is how a small business gets SOC-level coverage without building one. A traditional Security Operations Center is a room full of analysts — realistic for a large enterprise, not a 20-person business. MDR delivers the same 24/7 monitoring and response as a service, sized and priced for a small business instead.
Will this replace our IT provider?
No — it works alongside your managed IT. MDR is the security-monitoring layer; managed IT is the day-to-day operational layer. When we deliver both, they're coordinated under one roof instead of two vendors pointing fingers during an incident.
What happens when a real threat is detected?
A human analyst reviews the alert, confirms whether it's a genuine threat, and takes containment action directly — isolating a device, disabling a compromised account — rather than just emailing you a notification and waiting for a callback. You're informed as it happens, not after the fact.
