MDR (Managed Detection and Response)
Can your IT and Also Detect?
The December 2019 Emsisoft report discusses an unprecedented barrage of ransomware attacks that “impacted at least 966 US government agencies, educational establishments and healthcare providers at a potential cost in excess of $7.5 billion.”
When standard IT security practices —antivirus and anti-spam filtering, firewalls, patch management, and backup — are not enough to prevent or solve data breaches, organizations upgrade to Managed Detection and Response (MDR).
What is MDR?
MDR not only detects and analyzes security threats, but also stops them. It provides monitoring, threat hunting and risk management services, along with expert-level remediation.
MDR Explained
Security Analysts monitor your network round the clock using security event management and advanced analytics. When a threat is detected, they will first confirm that it is a real threat before informing you to take action.
Analysts may also trace the origin of the compromise, reverse engineer a piece of malware, or do some sandboxing, as needed. You can even consult with them on how to remedy or contain security vulnerabilities.
Companies Choose MDR Vendors Because...
- Regulatory Compliant IT Prevention Measures Still Fail
- Reasonable Security Investments Reduce Risk
- Busy IT Teams Don't Have Time to Implement MDR Internally
- It is the Only Way to Reliably Identify Attackers Within Your Environment
“By 2025, 50% of organizations will be using Managed Detection and Response services for threat monitoring, detection and response functions that offer threat containment capabilities,”
