eSentire

INVITE Networks is an eSentire partner, delivering Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE handles eSentire procurement, deployment, onboarding, and ongoing coordination — so your security team gets 24/7 threat coverage without building an in-house SOC.

What does INVITE Networks deliver as an eSentire partner?

eSentire is a Managed Detection and Response provider that delivers 24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response across endpoint, network, log, and cloud telemetry — backed by eSentire’s Atlas XDR platform and human SOC analysts. As an eSentire partner, INVITE Networks manages the procurement, deployment, onboarding, and ongoing coordination between your organization and eSentire’s MDR team.

INVITE’s eSentire practice includes needs assessment to align eSentire MDR coverage to your existing security stack, deployment and integration of eSentire’s endpoint and network sensors, SIEM and log source onboarding, and ongoing managed services oversight — acting as the operational bridge between your IT team and eSentire’s 24/7 SOC. Organizations working with INVITE get a single point of accountability for the entire eSentire engagement, from contract through active threat response.

Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for eSentire MDR?

Most mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix face the same challenge: they need enterprise-grade security monitoring but can’t staff or fund a 24/7 in-house SOC. eSentire’s MDR service fills that gap — and INVITE’s role is to make the deployment successful and the ongoing service operationally seamless for your internal team.

The classic eSentire engagement is an organization running endpoint protection only — no log monitoring, no network detection, no after-hours coverage. INVITE onboards endpoints, firewall logs, and the Microsoft 365 environment into eSentire’s platform so a 24/7 SOC is watching from day one — and incidents arrive as investigated reports with containment already underway, not raw alerts the internal team has to staff.

How does INVITE integrate eSentire MDR into its managed security services?

INVITE’s managed security services include eSentire as a core MDR component for organizations that need continuous threat monitoring beyond what endpoint protection alone provides. INVITE handles the ongoing coordination with eSentire’s SOC — managing escalation runbooks, integrating eSentire alerts into the customer’s ITSM workflow, and conducting quarterly business reviews with your team to ensure coverage stays aligned to your evolving environment.

For organizations using Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, or another SIEM, INVITE integrates eSentire detections and response actions into the existing security operations environment. This ensures eSentire’s MDR coverage extends visibility rather than creating a parallel alerting silo — a common failure mode when MDR is deployed without integration architecture planning.

What eSentire MDR services does INVITE deploy and manage?

INVITE’s eSentire practice covers MDR for Endpoint, providing managed detection and response on endpoint telemetry via eSentire’s Atlas XDR platform with 24/7 analyst-backed response; MDR for Network, delivering network traffic analysis and lateral movement detection for on-premises and cloud environments; MDR for Log, ingesting and analyzing logs across infrastructure, cloud, and application sources to detect threats that evade endpoint-only coverage; and MDR for Microsoft, providing full-signal coverage across Microsoft 365, Azure AD, and Defender environments. INVITE scopes eSentire coverage to match each organization’s risk profile, compliance requirements, and existing security investments — ensuring the engagement delivers coverage where the gaps are, not just where it’s easy to instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions: eSentire Managed Detection and Response

Is INVITE Networks an authorized eSentire partner?
Yes, INVITE Networks is an authorized eSentire channel partner with experience deploying and managing eSentire MDR for mid-market and enterprise organizations in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and surrounding markets.

Can eSentire MDR replace our internal SOC?
For many mid-market organizations, eSentire MDR effectively replaces the need for a 24/7 in-house SOC, providing continuous monitoring, investigation, and containment backed by eSentire’s human analyst team. Organizations with existing security staff typically operate eSentire as a force multiplier — handling after-hours and overflow coverage while the internal team owns policy, compliance, and strategic security decisions.

How does eSentire respond when a threat is detected?
eSentire’s MDR analysts investigate and contain threats directly — including isolating endpoints and blocking malicious activity — without requiring approval from your internal team for defined response actions. Escalation protocols and response playbooks are agreed upon during onboarding, so your team knows exactly when and how eSentire and INVITE will contact you during a live incident, and what actions will be taken autonomously.

How long does eSentire MDR onboarding take with INVITE?
For a standard mid-market deployment (200–2,000 endpoints), eSentire MDR onboarding typically completes in 3–6 weeks. INVITE manages the full onboarding process — sensor deployment, log source integration, and runbook development — so the engagement is live and actively monitoring before the first billing cycle completes.
