Emerging from the traditional managed security service provider (MSSP) model, Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is an answer to the fact that threat actors have increased their ability to circumvent traditional detection measures. As early as 2011, MDR emerged (uncategorized at the time) with a single guiding principal: Acknowledge that a breach will happen. When it does, minimize threat actor dwell time to reduce risk.
However, as the MDR market has evolved, four criteria remain constant as key to minimizing threat actor dwell time in the event of a breach: visibility, fidelity, detection capabilities and response. When these criteria are measured against in-house resources, risk tolerance and available budget, they can be used to choose the appropriate MDR vendor based on your organizational requirements.
To help organizations make an informed cybersecurity solutions choice, eSentire has authored, The Definitive Guide to Managed Detection and Response (MDR) (and this blog series) which examines seven categories of MDR providers, measured across four criteria, which include:
MDR Category #6 – MD-Big-R (Multiple Telemetry)
MDR (Multiple Telemetry) is a viable option for organizations with higher budgets, lower risk tolerance and limited in-house capabilities to respond to endpoint threats.
Profile
MD-big-R (Multiple Telemetry), or MDR-MT, options are typically built around a log-based and EDR service stack. In some instances, MDR vendors will offer endpoint and network components without log visibility; however, this approach is rare.
In MDR-MT, it’s increasingly common to see legacy MSSPs evolve their service offerings to include as their MDR service model an integrated response to EDR. Other services—such as vulnerability management or visibility into cloud services beyond log, endpoint and vulnerabilities— may also be included, but could come at incremental costs.
Fundamentally, the difference between MD-little-r (Multiple Telemetry) and MDR-MT is that the latter includes managed remote threat containment and full IR Lifecycle support.
The EDR component of these solutions typically represents the ability to contain on the client’s behalf. However, organizations are encouraged to carefully read SLAs and/or incident response retainers, which can be misrepresented as big-R in this category. Buyers are also encouraged to investigate the level of integration between the services that comprise the Multiple Telemetry MDR solution, as some vendors silo particular services rather than including them within a single MDR platform. MDR (Multiple Telemetry) is a viable option for organizations with higher budgets, lower risk tolerance and limited in-house capabilities to respond to endpoint threats.
Coverage
Varies, but typically two of the following options (note that cloud visibility outside of endpoints, logs and vulnerability varies by provider):
