How Mature Is Your Security Posture?
Managed detection and response (MDR) is a continuously operated cybersecurity service that combines security technology, threat detection, human expertise and incident response processes to identify, investigate and contain threats across an organization’s environment before they become major business disruptions.
MDR specifically addresses gaps in:
- 24/7 monitoring coverage
- Multisource detections from all security relevant tools/logs
- Alert triage and investigation
- Threat correlation across multiple tools
- Incident response execution
- False positive reduction
- Security operations staffing limitations
- Response speed and containment
- Detection of advanced threats such as ransomware and lateral movement.
MDR is more than the mere monitoring of security alerts. It is the operational layer that helps organizations move from siloed tools to integrated visibility; from reactive investigation to proactive detection; from business-hours monitoring to continuous coverage; from manual response to orchestrated containment; and from an overwhelmed IT staff to a dedicated security operations team.
