Frequently Asked Questions.

While many businesses use Managed Detection and Response (MDR) software to maintain a view of the security of their IT estate, the current state of threat prevalence and escalation requires a more hands-on expert-led approach. This has led to the next generation of managed detection and response services (MDR), combining technology, AI and human expertise to improve security operations, threat detection and remediation.

Beyond the base-level tasks of gathering, analysing and reporting on log data, MDR offers advanced threat management capabilities and proactive insights into organisation-specific risks and vulnerabilities.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services protect against a wide range of cybersecurity threats, including malware, ransomware, phishing, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). MDR services typically include a combination of technology, such as endpoint security software and intrusion detection systems, and human expertise, such as security analysts who monitor for and respond to threats in real-time. The goal of MDR is to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats as quickly as possible in order to minimize the damage caused by a successful attack.

Outsourcing Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services can be cost-effective for some organisations, particularly for those that do not have the resources or expertise to effectively manage their own security.

MDR services typically include a combination of technology and human expertise, which can be expensive to implement and maintain in-house. Outsourcing MDR allows organisations to take advantage of the expertise and resources of the MDR provider at a lower cost. Additionally, MDR providers often have access to advanced security tools and technologies that may not be available to in-house security teams.

On the other hand, outsourcing MDR can also be expensive, especially for small and medium-sized businesses that may not require the same level of security as larger organisations. It is important for businesses to evaluate their own needs and budget to decide if outsourcing MDR is a cost-effective option for them.

In any case, it is important to thoroughly evaluate the service provider before deciding to outsource, as the quality of service can vary widely between providers.

Extended detection and response (XDR) is a new approach defined by industry analysts designed to deliver intelligent, automated, and integrated security across domains to help defenders connect seemingly disparate alerts and get ahead of attackers.
