Getting More From Your MDR Provider

 

Getting More From Your MDR Provider

To combat today’s escalating cyberthreat landscape, many of today's companies have formed their own security operation center (SOC) to perform threat analysis, threat hunting, and incident response. But running an SOC 24/7/365 is impractical for several reasons: 

  1. Cyberthreats are accelerating in volume and sophistication, and it's hard to keep up 
  2. It's challenging to recruit and retain an appropriate number of highly skilled staff 
  3. These sparse teams struggle with SIEM technology, data overload, and alert fatigue 

The solution? Many are turning to Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers to augment their smaller in-house security team or deliver comprehensive SOC services from start to finish. 

 

Before deciding to enhance their security operation with an MDR solution, businesses need answers about how MDR works and what to expect from a third-party service provider. We address those concerns in our Ask Me Anything session starting with a top-to-bottom look at the essential services you can expect from a Managed Detection and Response provider.
