F6 Launches SOC MDR: A Turnkey Cybersecurity Service for Real-Time Threat Management
Russian cybersecurity firm F6 debuts a comprehensive MDR solution designed to protect critical systems and expand sovereign control over digital infrastructure.
A New Approach to External Perimeter Defense
On July 17, 2025, F6 (formerly F.A.C.C.T.) launched its new SOC MDR service—a managed detection and response solution offering full-cycle security operations. This turnkey service monitors, investigates, and responds to cyber incidents with a focus on protecting the external perimeter—often the most vulnerable entry point for attackers.
According to F6, 9 out of 10 Russian companies have vulnerabilities on their external perimeter. SOC MDR is tailored for organizations of all sizes, allowing seamless integration with existing cybersecurity tools and protecting prior investments. The service brings advanced MDR capabilities to the market, enhancing the maturity of Russia’s cybersecurity service ecosystem.
Strengthening Digital Sovereignty
SOC MDR is more than just a commercial solution—it aims to reinforce the cybersecurity of major corporations, government entities, and critical infrastructure across Russia. The platform helps mitigate technological attacks, prevent data leaks, and ensure business continuity and social stability.
F6 positions this launch as part of Russia’s broader effort to strengthen digital sovereignty and public trust in the national IT environment. The company also sees export potential, particularly in CIS countries and emerging markets.
Replacing Western MDR Services
F6’s MDR platform is a domestic alternative to Western MDR/MSSP providers. It offers not only detection and response but also AI-driven anomaly detection, threat hunting, SOAR automation, and XDR capabilities.
The service is designed to identify both AI-driven and human-led attacks in real time—and to neutralize them before they cause harm. For Russian corporations, outsourcing cybersecurity operations to a trusted external provider like F6 can be more cost-effective and scalable than building an in-house SOC.
A Growing Market for Managed Security Services
The emergence of managed SOC services in Russia can be traced to companies like RED Security, which pioneered MDR offerings aimed at defending against social engineering and contractor-based attacks. F6 continues to grow its competencies in this space.
The Russian MSSP/MDR market is expanding rapidly. TAdviser reports rising demand for managed cybersecurity services amid the wave of import substitution. Major players like Bi.Zone, Positive Technologies, and Kaspersky have accelerated development of SOC and XDR platforms, while firms like UserGate, Solar, and Servicepipe have integrated incident response and monitoring tools.
With the surge in DDoS attacks, extortion attempts, and regulatory pressure, MDR services are increasingly seen as essential.
International Readiness and Roadmap
F6 is positioning its SOC MDR for international expansion, targeting CIS nations and developing countries with a localized partner-first model. The roadmap includes short-term integration of AI/ML modules, extended capabilities like XDR and SOAR, and embedded threat intelligence.
This launch represents a major milestone for Russia’s cybersecurity industry. It supports the nation’s goal of technological independence and builds momentum for Russian-built solutions to enter global markets.
