About Countercept

“Countercept by MWR provides a complete managed service for the detection and response to cyber-attacks. It specializes in targeted attacks from sophisticated criminal groups and nation- state threat actors (APT groups) and offers 24/7 proactive threat hunting. The service is driven by a team with real-world experience in attack simulation and incident response, leveraging an advanced endpoint solution.

Countercept is a ‘managed detection and response’ service (MDR) that puts emphasis on skilled threat hunters, rather than relying purely on technology. MDR services are an evolution of attack- detection methods and technologies where traditional MSSPs (managed security service providers) fall short. Proactive threat hunting, by a team trained in offensive techniques, is the most effective way to defend against targeted attacks.”
