BackProtecting Your Business with a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Solution
As technology advances, so does the threat landscape and the need for more robust cybersecurity mitigation and prevention solutions. According to Cisco’s Annual Cybersecurity Report, 44% of security managers report seeing more than 5000 security events per day, however only 19% of those alerts are deemed reliable, and only 4% are investigated, leaving your company at great risk for a cyber-attack.
What is MDR and how can it protect against cyber-attacks?
A Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution and services to provide proactive threat detection and active response. This remotely delivered service organizations to rapidly detect, analyze, investigate, and actively respond through threat mitigation and containment.
By continuously monitoring and identifying the security gaps it helps to close them before they get exposed which in turn will reduce the cyber risk and possible incidents. MDR also offers companies 24/7 visibility into its IT environment, helps to meet compliance requirements, provides better threat intelligence and threat hunting and offers a better ROI.
There are many navigating factors in choosing MDR. Clients often face staff shortages, employees with a lack of cybersecurity skills, or employees who find it difficult to manage an overwhelming number of alerts with the sheer sprawl of the numerous cybersecurity tools they are currently using.
