Understand managed detection & response before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is MDR?
Managed Detection and Response — SentinelOne’s own experts running Singularity for you, 24/7: monitoring, hunting, investigating AND responding.
Platform autonomy plus human judgement — the security team you can’t hire.
Building a SOC vs managed MDR — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Build & staff your own SOC | Singularity MDR (managed) |
|---|---|---|
| The SOC | Recruit, retain, pay 24/7 | SentinelOne's experts, subscribed |
| The coverage | Gaps at nights/weekends | Genuine 24/7/365 |
| On a threat | An alert, then you fix it | They investigate AND respond |
| The talent | Scarce, expensive, leaves | Expert, retained, on call |
| The tech | Tools you can't fully wield | Singularity, run by experts |
| The model | AI-only or human-only | Autonomy + human judgement |
| The speed | Human-paced | AI base + expert calls |
| The outcome | You hope you're covered | Experts have you covered |
It runs the autonomous Singularity platform, operated by its experts — very often cheaper AND better than a DIY SOC.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
SentinelOne's SOC
SentinelOne's in-house analysts (Wayfinder, formerly Vigilance) keep watch on your environment day and night — expertise that's hard to hire and harder to keep.
Platform Autonomy
The Singularity platform handling machine-speed detection and autonomous response underneath — the analysts direct and augment it, not do it all by hand.
Human Judgement
Human experts handle the hunting, the judgement calls and the nuanced investigations that autonomy alone can't — the pairing that defines good MDR.
Full Response
The team investigates and responds — taking action to stop threats — not just forwarding alerts for you to handle. Managed response, not managed alerting.
Threat Services
Delivered through SentinelOne's threat-services portfolio (Wayfinder, which replaced the Vigilance MDR brand in November 2025) — a $100M+ ARR business the market is validating.
Endpoint, cloud and network signals feed one data stream, so a threat is correlated once rather than hunted across consoles.
Twelve capabilities. Monitor, respond, deliver.
Singularity MDR turns best-in-class autonomous technology into a best-in-class managed outcome — AI speed plus human experts, 24/7.
24/7 Managed SOC
SentinelOne's in-house experts watch your environment 24/7 — a team most organisations could never hire or hold on to.
Proactive Threat Hunting
Expert hunters proactively searching your environment for the threats automation alone might miss.
Autonomous Platform Base
The Singularity platform handling machine-speed detection and response underneath — the analysts direct and augment it.
Human Expert Judgement
Analysts make the nuanced judgement calls and hard decisions autonomy alone can't — the pairing good MDR needs.
Full Investigation
Analysts work each confirmed threat to root cause on Singularity data — the storyline and scope, not just a flagged event.
Managed Response
They act to stop the threat, augmented by the platform's autonomy — managed RESPONSE, not just managed alerting.
Rapid Containment
AI-augmented containment — the autonomous engine plus expert direction stop threats fast, at any hour.
Incident Communication
Named contacts and plain-language updates while an incident runs — the senior voice a lean team doesn't have in-house.
Wayfinder (formerly Vigilance)
Delivered through SentinelOne's threat-services portfolio — a $100M+ ARR, market-validated offering.
Best-in-Class Tech
Runs the autonomous, 6× Gartner Leader Singularity platform — operated by the people who know it best.
Reporting & Transparency
Periodic reports on what the service saw, stopped and recommended — a record of the coverage the subscription buys.
No SOC to Build
Round-the-clock analyst coverage on Singularity without building a SOC roster — shifts, hiring and retention handled.

Here’s what genuinely sets Singularity MDR apart from the alternatives.
The 24/7 team you can't hire
A genuine SOC means hiring, keeping and paying scarce analysts to staff nights, weekends and holidays — something very few organisations can pull off while security talent is this thin. Singularity MDR IS that team: SentinelOne's own experts, 24/7, without a single hire. The hardest, most expensive part of security operations, solved by subscription.
AI autonomy plus human judgement
The best MDR pairs machine speed with human expertise, and Singularity MDR is built on exactly that pairing: the platform handles the autonomous, machine-speed detection and response, while SentinelOne's analysts add the hunting, the judgement calls and the nuanced investigations autonomy alone can't. You get both the speed of AI and the wisdom of experts.
They respond, not just alert
What separates managed security services: plenty of them flag an issue and then hand the fix back to you. Singularity MDR's team investigates AND responds — taking action to stop the threat, augmented by the platform's autonomy. You get an outcome (the threat handled), not a notification (here's a problem, good luck).
Run on best-in-class autonomous tech
The team runs the Singularity platform — a Leader in Gartner’s 2026 Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms, its sixth year running — operated by the people who know it best. You get best-in-class technology AND expert operators, a different thing from owning great tools you don't have the staff to fully wield.
A fast-growing, validated service
SentinelOne's threat services (Wayfinder, formerly Vigilance) have passed $100M in ARR — one of the emerging lines driving over half of new bookings. That growth is the market validating the managed model and SentinelOne investing in it, meaning an actively-developed service, not a neglected afterthought.
The honest scope
Singularity MDR runs on strong autonomous tech. CrowdStrike’s Falcon Complete is the MDR pioneer with a Breach Prevention Warranty; Arctic Wolf works across your existing tools. With a mature 24/7 SOC already, weigh Singularity plus your team against fully managed. TechBag helps you decide.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“We could never staff a 24/7 SOC. Singularity MDR is our SOC, with SentinelOne’s experts running the platform around the clock.”
“The platform handles machine-speed response, the analysts handle hunting and hard calls. Best of both.”
“An attack landed at 3am. While we slept, the team detected, investigated and responded. We got an outcome, not an alert and a problem.”
“It's the same Singularity platform we'd have bought anyway, run by the people who know it best. Best-in-class tech AND expert operators.”
“In a ransomware scare, the MDR analyst walked our two-person team through isolation step by step.”
“It's premium — you're paying for experts and 24/7 coverage. Versus building a SOC, it was cheaper AND better for us. Do that math.”
“If you have a mature SOC already, weigh Singularity plus your own team vs fully managed. For everyone else, MDR is the answer.”
“Falcon Complete’s warranty is a differentiator, but Singularity MDR won on value and platform. Bake them off.”
Where everyone sits — the grids
Analyst firms bury this view behind paywalls, and review-site grids score satisfaction, not fit for your estate. So here’s TechBag’s synthesis of the managed detection & response market — tap any vendor to see why it sits where it does.

What does building a 24/7 SOC cost you?
Drag the sliders (count endpoints; IT-hour cost as loaded SOC-analyst rate). Estimates model the cost of staffing round-the-clock coverage against endpoints, with ~65% removed by subscribing to Singularity MDR instead of recruiting, retaining and paying a 24/7 team — the avoided-breach value is the larger, unpriced win.
