Details
Service scope
Best for Mid-market teams and MSPs wanting shared SIEM and MDR workflows
Shared SOC workflow
Buyers use the same platform as the SOC to see investigations, logs and containment. Analysts share findings and refine detections.
Current packages
Managed ITDR is narrower than MDR Standard and Advanced. Retention, non-API collection and response coverage differ, so map each source to the quoted tier.
Incident response add-on
Routine MDR includes investigation and initial containment. Deeper investigation and response leadership are purchased separately in hourly blocks.
Full service analysis
Adlumin MDR by N-able combines 24/7 investigation and initial containment with shared access to its XDR, SIEM and response workflows. Your team or MSP maintains connected controls, agrees response permissions and handles recovery or deeper incident response outside the package.
- Your team owns
- Connecting the right data sources and validating what each source is used for
- Setting response boundaries, escalation rules and SOAR exceptions
- Managing endpoint, identity, cloud and SaaS controls that feed Adlumin
- Confirming whether the buyer, MSP, N-able partner or Adlumin SOC owns each workflow
Shared operational control
Adlumin gives customers access to the same platform used by its SOC. Analysts investigate, perform initial containment and share findings for detection improvements. This supports shared SOC operation while buyers retain their controls and business decisions.
Tier and incident-response boundary
Current packages are Managed ITDR, MDR Standard and MDR Advanced. An older packaging guide still names Base, Complete and Plus. Confirm the current order form. Deeper incident response is an add-on beyond routine monitoring, investigation and initial containment.
Pricing & contract
- Billing
- Tiered, Custom
Confirm MDR Standard or Advanced scope, log retention, collector access and connected-tool licenses. Deeper incident response is an hourly-block add-on. The older AWS Premium SMB listing is a different package and is not a current Standard or Advanced quote.

Common questions
Is Adlumin MDR part of N-able?
Yes. N-able acquired Adlumin in November 2024 and now sells Adlumin MDR through its security operations portfolio.
What response work does MDR include?
Analysts investigate and perform initial containment through supported controls. Your team receives evidence and next steps. Deeper incident response is a separate add-on and recovery stays with the buyer unless contracted.
Which packages should we compare?
The current MDR page lists Managed ITDR, MDR Standard and MDR Advanced. Confirm the exact tier, retention, collection methods and licenses in your quote.
