The organization is seeking a qualified vendor to provide a managed detection and response (MDR) solution. The selected vendor will deliver 24x7x365 U.S.-based Security Operations Center (SOC) operations, enabling enhanced managed detection and response services that integrate managed SIEM and remediation within the Datadog SIEM platform.

The vendor will act as the first responder for critical alerts and incidents, offering support for threat analysis, triage of both internal and external breaches, data collection and evaluation, and guidance on remediation. Tasks include proactive threat-hunting, real-time incident detection, threat monitoring across both cloud (AWS, Snowflake, SharePoint, O365) and on-premises environments, and the use of cloud-based analytics and operations tools for risk management and threat intelligence.

Additional responsibilities involve investigating and reducing false positives, offering rapid responses to security events, tracking incidents through resolution, and providing continuous situational awareness. The provider is expected to maintain minimal average incident detection and response times, limit analyst-to-incident ratios appropriately, and contribute to ongoing security hardening and posture improvements.
