For today’s organizations, protecting an increasing amount of data and assets against cyberthreats is rife with challenges. The growing volume of attacks, an always expanding attack surface, too many security controls, and a worldwide talent shortage have made 24/7 managed detection and response (MDR) services more appealing than ever. This is especially true among customers who have smaller infosec teams and don’t plan to staff an in house SOC.
First focused on endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, MDR services later expanded to using XDR tools to offer visibility into workloads, networks, and identity – operating as managed extended detection and response (MXDR) solutions.
