Threat actors have turned cybercrime into big business — a $1.5T USD industry where a ransomware attack occurs every 11 seconds.
Each year, the cybersecurity industry works diligently to launch and refine tools, technologies, and solutions. The bad news? So do cybercriminals. Their nefarious innovations continue to leave organizations reeling from cyber attacks that steal data, damage reputations, and put serious dents in annual budgets.
Even worse, the organizations who utilize the tools, technologies, and solutions developed by cybersecurity experts often find they don’t keep them safe from cyber attack, as these innovations are only as good as the team trained to monitor and optimize them. And that team can be very difficult to find. Recent reports claim 32% of global organizations have difficulty hiring and retaining staff and 36% of organizations feel their current staff lacks the necessary expertise.
In a world of increasing and evolving threats, expanding attack surfaces, shrinking budgets, and a global security staff shortage, IT departments are all but incapable of the 24×7 monitoring, detection, and threat response required to protect their organization from modern cyber attacks.
More organizations are now turning to managed detection and response (MDR) solutions to overcome their operational hurdles and get the needed expertise required to proactively protect their environments.
Explore MDR Options
MDR solutions supply log aggregation, continuous monitoring, threat triaging, and incident response, as well as 24×7 access to a skilled security team as a managed service. The main differentiator for MDR from other tools and security operations solutions is this human element.
However, not all MDR solutions are the same. Some MDR solutions are more product focused, where managed services are offered on top of tools. Others are service focused, offering detection and monitoring of the existing security stack.
