Understanding the nuances of Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is essential for organizations when crafting Requests for Proposals (RFPs). This glossary sheds light on their unique characteristics & applications and discusses whether you should make your next RFP for an MDR service provider or MSSPs.
The difference between Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) lies in their approach to cybersecurity. Traditional Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) uses firewalls, intrusion detection tools, and vulnerability scanning to monitor security events and send alerts to your team. In contrast a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider will not only conduct 24/7 threat detection and containment but will also act as an extension of your team and provide complete response – on your behalf.
A Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) will remotely monitor network security events and send alerts to your team if they notice any anomalies. They deliver continuous security monitoring and asset management and they’re typically best used for threat prevention.
MSSPs also augment your internal security team's efforts by ensuring they detect cybersecurity incidents as they occur, reducing the impact and cost to your company. This allows you to focus your internal cybersecurity resources on cyber threats more likely to become legitimate security incidents.
However, there are many drawbacks to MSSPs, including:
MDR providers prioritize 24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities by ingesting multiple signals across endpoint, network, log, cloud, identity, and vulnerability sources. This multi-signal capability is crucial to maintain full visibility across your entire attack surface.
MDR providers deliver fast, accurate containment and response actions on your behalf through a have a team of 24/7 SOC Cyber Analysts and Elite Threat Hunters who conduct deep threat investigations and proactive hypothesis-driven threat hunting to deliver original threat intelligence.
This results in the elimination of false positives, identification of real threats, and the development of novel detection models that MDR providers can apply at scale across their global customer base.
Learn about the limitations of engaging a legacy MSSP, how multi-signal MDR enables your in-house security team to become cyber resilient, and why your MSSP RFP should be for MDR instead.
