MxDR for government solution, powered by Google SecOps technology

The MxDR for government solution includes unique and pioneering capabilities integrated with Google technologies, enabling federal agencies to:

• Detect more threats with less effort – the MxDR solution offers federal clients an integrated library of Google’s expert detections and Accenture Federal’s tailored MxDR threat detection library. Agencies can use Google AI for intuitive data search and analysis, custom detection creation, and AI assisted query refinement.
• Investigate with the right context – the MxDR solution provides streamlined security analysis with an intuitive interface featuring threat-centric case management, interactive and contextual alert graphs, and automated entity stitching. Google AI-generated case summaries and response recommendations accelerate investigations. Fast, flexible, and context-rich search capabilities ensure analysts can easily respond with speed and precision.

MxDR for government solution is a FedRAMP High Authorized solution supporting compliance with stringent federal cybersecurity controls and providing a seamless 24x7 upgrade path for agencies. This collaboration underscores both companies’ commitment to advancing federal cybersecurity capabilities and delivering future-ready cybersecurity solutions.
