How Managed Detection and Response Can Help Your Business
Managed Detection Response (MDR) is a cybersecurity service that helps improve threat detection and mitigate risks. It combines a technology called Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) with human expertise to provide strong and precise security services.
Understanding MDR
There are two components to MDR: the technology, which is EDR, and the team of human experts. Each component of this service has its own job. The role of the technology is to identify while the role of the human experts is to respond.
EDR identifies bad behavior and gives our team insight on security events. It sends our team a large number of detailed alerts which will lower the chances of letting something slip through. These alerts are also very instantaneous, appearing minutes after a behavior is detected.
After an EDR alert is received, it is our team’s job to respond to it. Data is sent to our team and whether the job requires onsite assistance or remote help we will respond to the issue as quickly as possible. EDR has the ability to detect fine details that we may have not been able to detect otherwise. This makes it easier for our team to do their job and provide the best possible security we can.
The Benefits of MDR
MDR can be a very beneficial tool for your business that will provide advanced security to keep you protected. Here are a few advantages to utilizing this service.
- Increased Efficiency: EDR provides notifications about anything remotely suspicious shortly after a behavior is detected. The scope of which EDR can detect allows our team to respond to every potential threat. As a result, this level of precision and speed allows our team to respond to more risks in a shorter amount of time, increasing our efficiency.
- Better Security Posture: MDR is a very efficient tool that can help provide great security coverage. As technology advances, so do the ways in which threat actors breach systems. It is important to keep up to date with cybersecurity measures to ensure that your data is safe.
