Managed detection and response (MDR) is a security service that combines advanced technology and human expertise to monitor, detect, and respond to cyber threats in real-time. MDR providers use endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to collect and analyze data from various sources, such as workstations, laptops, servers, firewalls, cloud services, and network devices. MDR providers also have a security operations center (SOC) staffed by security analysts that can investigate alerts, validate incidents, and take action to contain and remediate threats.
There are many different MDR vendors on the market, but not all of them are created equal. Some MDR vendors only focus on endpoints, while others collect data from a wider range of sources. Some MDR vendors use a "set it and forget it" approach, while others provide more hands-on support.
An "MDR alert fatigue" refers to security analysts becoming overwhelmed and desensitized to the high volume of alerts generated by MDR systems, causing them to become less responsive and miss critical security incidents. An organization may be exposed to higher cybersecurity risks as a result of this phenomenon. Too many alerts can cause issues.
MDR solutions that only focus on endpoints are not enough to protect your organization from today's advanced threats. These threats can come from a variety of sources, including cloud services, network devices, and even your own employees. A holistic MDR solution collects data from all sources, giving you a complete view of your security posture.
When it comes to MDR, you need people who are trained, experienced, and armed with actionable recommendations tailored to your business. Combining advanced analytics, machine learning, and threat intelligence with human expertise to detect, prioritize and respond to threats 24/7 makes a difference.
