10 Best MDR and Managed SOC Providers in the US (2026)

Huntress, the Columbia, Maryland company founded in 2015, built its 24/7 SOC for small and midsize businesses and publishes its prices: managed EDR costs $8.99 per endpoint a month at 50 to 99 endpoints, falling to $5.49 at 500 to 999, identity threat detection for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace $4.80 per identity a month, and SIEM $4.00 per data source a month, on 12-month terms. Its analysts isolate endpoints and remediate compromised identities, and companies with fewer than 50 seats buy through a managed service provider. In July 2026 it passed $250 million in annual recurring revenue, protecting more than 270,000 businesses. Best for: small and midsize businesses that want round-the-clock monitoring at a published per-seat price.

Falcon Complete is CrowdStrike’s (Nasdaq: CRWD) 24/7 MDR service built on its Falcon platform, correlating telemetry across endpoints, identities, AI agents, cloud, SaaS and third-party data, with analysts carrying out full remediation on your behalf. CrowdStrike cites a median time to contain of about one minute, though results vary, and includes a breach warranty of up to $2 million that applies only to certain breaches of protected endpoints; full incident response is a separate service. Pricing is by quote, and in 2026 CrowdStrike bought identity-security firm SGNL to extend the platform. Best for: companies standardized on CrowdStrike Falcon that want the vendor itself to run detection and response.

Sophos MDR, from UK-based Sophos, which bought Atlanta-based Secureworks in February 2025, monitors around the clock and can work on top of Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike or SentinelOne tools you already own, with hundreds of integrations across endpoint, network, cloud, identity, email and business apps. It includes critical incident response with no caps or extra fees and offers a breach warranty, and Sophos says it serves about 40,000 MDR customers of all sizes. Pricing is by quote through partners. Best for: small and midsize businesses that want 24/7 monitoring without replacing their current endpoint security.

Expel, the Herndon, Virginia company founded in 2016, runs a vendor-agnostic 24x7x365 SOC that connects to more than 160 tools — including Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, CrowdStrike, Okta and Wiz — to cover cloud, endpoint, identity, network, SaaS and email without deploying its own agents. Its analysts take containment and remediation actions on your behalf, and Expel reports a mean time to respond of about 14 minutes, though that is not a contractual guarantee. Pricing is by quote. Best for: companies that already run an EDR and cloud stack and want an expert SOC on top.

ReliaQuest, the Tampa company that raised more than $500 million at a $3.4 billion valuation in March 2025 from EQT, KKR and FTV Capital, runs its GreyMatter platform on top of more than 200 security tools you already own, across cloud, multicloud and on-premises environments, and says it contains threats in under five minutes. It added agentic AI teammates in 2025 and launched GreyMatter SIEM-Less in July 2026. Pricing is by quote, and it is aimed at large enterprises. Best for: large enterprises with security tools from many vendors.

Red Canary, bought by Zscaler (Nasdaq: ZS) for $675 million in cash in a deal that closed in August 2025, is now sold as Zscaler Managed Detection and Response: a 24/7, human-led, AI-assisted service covering endpoints, network traffic through Zscaler’s internet gateway, AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, email, identities and SaaS. Analysts can block URLs and indicators through Zscaler, isolate endpoints through your EDR and suspend users through your identity provider, with actions either approved by you or automated. Pricing is by quote. Best for: companies that already use Zscaler and want MDR built around it.

Wayfinder MDR is SentinelOne’s (NYSE: S) managed service, in which its analysts monitor, investigate and respond 24/7/365 using Google Threat Intelligence and SentinelOne’s Purple AI, in three tiers: Threat Hunting, MDR Essentials and MDR Elite, which adds a dedicated threat advisor and an incident response retainer. It includes a breach response warranty of up to $1 million for incident response and recovery if an undetected breach occurs on covered Windows, Linux and macOS machines or cloud workloads. Pricing is by quote. Best for: companies that run SentinelOne and want the vendor’s own experts watching it.

Critical Start, the Plano, Texas company founded in 2012 and backed by Vista Equity Partners, runs 24x7x365 MDR on top of the customer’s own endpoint, XDR and SIEM tools, including Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk. In June 2026 it launched SOC AI, a multi-agent system behind its MDR, and in July 2026 it named Francine Geist CEO in a planned leadership transition. Pricing is by quote. Best for: midsize firms already running Microsoft Defender and Sentinel or Splunk that want a 24/7 SOC on top.

Blackpoint Cyber, founded in 2014 by former NSA operator Jon Murchison and backed by a $190 million investment from Bain Capital Tech Opportunities and Accel, runs a 24/7 SOC on its CompassOne platform covering endpoints, identity and cloud, including Microsoft 365, and sells mainly through managed service providers. Its 2026 threat report said its SOC stopped 56% of 2025 incidents before a payload was deployed, and in June 2025 Gagan Singh became CEO. It doesn’t publish prices. Best for: small and midsize businesses that buy security through an MSP.
