MANAGED DETECTION AND RESPONSE (MDR)

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services integrate advanced security monitoring capabilities with 24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response, enabling you to prevent business disruption and build a more resilient security operation.

However, not all MDR solutions are created equal. Fake MDR providers may crush your cybersecurity team with alerts, offer limited threat visibility, and leave your team to contain the threats on their own.

An effective MDR provider goes beyond alerting to provide multi-signal visibility, threat containment, and complete response to cyberattacks on your behalf. Learn more about Real vs. Fake MDR services here.

Gartner releases its Gartner® Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response annually. This comprehensive guide on MDR services provides valuable insights about the evolving MDR vendor landscape and offers expert recommendations to assist you in choosing the right Managed Detection and Response provider.

Leveraging an MDR service is a strategic decision that enables you to enhance your cybersecurity posture without the overhead of expanding your in-house team. MDR services provide continuous, 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities, so you can proactively address potential cyber threats before they escalate into serious breaches.

The eSentire SOC is an integral part of our MDR service. With eSentire MDR you get 24/7 SOC coverage with investigation and response to threats before they impact your business. Our 24/7 SOC Cyber Analysts are an extension of your team and will pick up the phone to provide immediate expertise, peace of mind, and hands-on assistance to remediate threats on your behalf when and where you need it.

Security leaders often underestimate the cost of building and running an internal SOC . You must consider the security tools, staffing, and operational expenses required. We help you accelerate your security program at a fraction of the cost compared to building an in-house SOC.

There are 600+ providers who claim to offer MDR services. In this saturated market, many vendors overpromise and underdeliver on security outcomes. To secure your business and prevent business disruption, you need to learn how to select the right MDR provider. We believe a Real MDR solution addresses five measurable components of your protection:

• Risk management and vulnerability assessment
• Management and support
• High-fidelity, multi-signal visibility
• Threat detection and automated blocking
• Human-led investigation, threat containment & response

Use our MDR service provider guide for 20+ questions to ask when you’re evaluating an MDR service provider.

While many MDR vendors claim to deliver complete protection, many provide limited signal visibility and response leaving you unprotected against critical part of the attack service. For example, one of the most popular subcategories of MDR services, Managed Endpoint Detection and Response, provides coverage at the host level (endpoint), leaving the perimeter, user, application and data layers without critical visibility and response capabilities.

A true MDR provider collects data from multiple signal sources, including endpoint, log, network, and cloud sources, to detect threats before they become business disrupting events.
