Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is an advanced cyber security service that combines the capabilities of security technologies, advanced analytics and human experts to protect organizations from cyber threats.
MDR service providers continuously monitor a company’s IT infrastructure to identify anomalies and suspicious activity. If a threat is detected, the MDR team responds quickly to investigate the incident, determine the extent of the threat and take appropriate action to mitigate and eliminate the risk.
Compared to in-house solutions, MDR services offer round-the-clock monitoring and response, which is often difficult to achieve with an in-house team. In addition, MDR service providers have expertise in a variety of security areas and stay up-to-date with the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape.
By outsourcing to an MDR service provider, an organization can benefit from the expertise of a dedicated security team without the costs and challenges associated with building and maintaining its own in-house security team. Overall, this can lead to a more efficient and cost-effective cybersecurity solution.
