About Binary Defense
Binary Defense is a cybersecurity company that provides managed detection and response services. It sells to organisations across manufacturing, retail, healthcare, finance, energy and utilities, and education. Its services include managed detection and response, proactive threat hunting, digital risk protection, phishing response, and co-managed SIEM. The company operates a 24/7 security operations centre staffed by U.S.-based analysts. Binary Defense's platform, NightBeacon, ingests alerts, logs, email, and files from over 116 integrations across nine categories. It uses AI to correlate alerts and complete roughly 90% of an investigation before an analyst opens it. Every finding is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and every AI action is logged with an owner and timestamp so clients can audit the full trail. The company also offers NightBeacon CMD, a workbench that clients can run themselves or have Binary Defense run for them. Binary Defense also sells BD Vision, an endpoint detection product that uses behavioural analysis, deception technology, and disruption controls to stop threats that bypass EDR systems. The company's services are backed by its own SOC and detection engineers.
