Fireside Chat: What Every CISO Should Know About Selecting an MDR Provider

While threat actors continue to mature their operations – transitioning from opportunistic exploits to highly targeted attacks originating from an organized cybercrime ecosystem, many security leaders aren’t equipped to defend their organizations on their own. In addition to an expanding attack surface, they are faced with lack of security resources, skills shortage, and poor visibility into their environment.

To address these challenges, many CISOs are engaging Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services to augment their in-house security staff and mitigate their cyber risks. Unfortunately, there is a lot of noise within the MDR market. CISOs are challenged to decipher security fact from fiction and choose an MDR provider that can provide multi-signal threat detection, 24/7 threat hunting, deep investigation, and complete response.

Join Jeff Pollard, VP, Principal Analyst, from Forrester and Greg Crowley, CISO, from eSentire for a fireside chat where we will discuss the latest trends in the MDR market, why CISOs are turning to MDR, and what they need to consider when evaluating MDR providers.
