Advanced Threat Hunting and Response Services from Malware and IR Experts
MDR is a cybersecurity service used to detect and respond to threats. The service can either be used to completely outsource detection and response capabilities or augment existing security teams. Unlike MSSPs, MDR services focus on detection, response and threat hunting rather than security alert monitoring.
Security talent can be hard to locate and retain. The result is that many organizations struggle to add resources for more specialized and proactive elements of cybersecurity such as threat detection, threat hunting and response. Prevention is no longer enough, and detection and response must be equally prioritized, regardless of skills limitations.
Increasingly sophisticated tools and technologies have been developed to prevent, detect, and respond to evolving threats. However, these tools often require more experienced specialists to use them to their full potential. MDR ensures that this high-grade technology is used to its fullest to monitor, detect and respond to threats by industry professionals who understand it best.
Alert fatigue occurs when teams are bombarded with such a high number of alerts that they lose their significance. This can mean important information gets overlooked. MDR takes this out of the equation and leverages technologies that can speed up the detection, investigation, and response to threats, while having dedicated professionals who can prioritize and investigate the alerts that really matter.
MDR teams are often comprised of a team of highly experienced security professionals, forensic analysts, incident responders and threat hunters – combining this expertise with a deep understanding of the vendor technology often results in improved detection and response. This reduces adversary dwell time and limits data theft and other destructive actions.
Buyers should be aware that an MSSP or Managed Security Monitoring service is often not the same as a Managed Detection and Response Service. The two are very different and this can sometimes lead to mismanaged expectations: MSSPs are reactive and vulnerability-centric in their approach, whereas MDR providers are proactive and threat-centric. The services differ in three fundamental ways: technology, expertise and relationship. Also, not all MDR providers are equal as there are different levels of capability, different tools used as part of the service, and varying levels of expertise across specialized skill sets.
