PITTSBURGH, PA — September 1, 2026 — Echelon Risk + Cyber today announced the launch of Echelon MDR Powered by CrowdStrike, a fully managed detection and response service that combines the CrowdStrike Falcon platform with Echelon Risk + Cyber’s 24/7 security operations, certified engineering expertise, and security leadership.
The service is designed for organizations that need best-in-class managed detection and response or want to get more from their existing CrowdStrike investment. Echelon MDR provides continuous monitoring, threat hunting, investigation, response, tuning, and security posture management through Echelon Risk + Cyber’s dedicated CrowdStrike Center of Excellence. Echelon MDR Powered by CrowdStrike gives organizations the people, expertise, and 24/7 operational coverage needed to strengthen their security program.
Rather than simply forwarding alerts back to an internal IT team, Echelon Risk + Cyber’s team operates the platform on the client’s behalf, investigating threats, reducing alert noise, maintaining coverage, and helping organizations drive more value from their CrowdStrike investment.
“Echelon MDR Powered by CrowdStrike is a natural next step in a partnership we’ve been intentionally building for years,” said Eric Bronack, Partner and COO at Echelon Risk + Cyber. “CrowdStrike provides an exceptional security platform and delivers significant risk reduction, but technology is only part of the equation. Organizations also need the people, expertise, and operational discipline to maximize that technology every day. This service brings those pieces together, giving clients access to CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform backed by Echelon’s certified engineers, 24/7 security operations, and security leadership. We strengthen organizations’ security posture and maximize the value of their CrowdStrike investment.”
The Next Evolution of a Strategic Partnership
Echelon Risk + Cyber’s relationship with CrowdStrike has grown significantly since Echelon joined the CrowdStrike Elevate Partner Program in 2022. Since then, Echelon Risk + Cyber has continued to expand its technical expertise across the Falcon platform and its role in delivering CrowdStrike-powered security services.
Echelon Risk + Cyber has been recognized as one of CrowdStrike’s proactive strategic services partners and was selected as a launch partner in CrowdStrike’s Services Partner Program, further expanding the relationship beyond traditional technology resale and into expert-led security services.
Today, Echelon Risk + Cyber’s dedicated CrowdStrike Center of Excellence brings together certified engineers focused on deploying, tuning, and operating the Falcon platform for clients.
Echelon MDR Powered by CrowdStrike is the next step in that evolution, bringing Echelon’s CrowdStrike expertise into a fully managed, 24/7 operational model.
Enterprise-Grade Security Operations, without the Overhead
Echelon MDR is built around the idea that clients shouldn't have to build a SOC to get the outcomes of one.
The service includes:
Organizations can choose from service levels based on their security goals, from core managed detection and response to broader programs incorporating vulnerability management, Next-Gen SIEM management and optimization of telemetry sources, vCISO advisory, and additional CrowdStrike capabilities.
“Organizations have invested heavily in security technology, but many still lack the people, expertise, and operational capacity to maximize its value and translate that investment into stronger security outcomes,” said Bronack. “Echelon MDR closes that gap by combining leading technology with certified expertise and day-to-day operational support to deliver stronger protection, better visibility, and measurable risk reduction.”
With Echelon MDR Powered by CrowdStrike, organizations can own the tools while Echelon runs them 24/7 - delivering stronger security, reduced risk, and less burden on internal teams.
