Managed Detection & Response MDR

A service in which an expert team watches alerts from EDR and other sources 24/7 and responds on your behalf when needed (device isolation, account lockout). The alternative to building your own SOC.

When you need it

• If you have no security team or it is 1-2 people
• If nobody would notice ransomware starting at night or on a weekend
• If you bought EDR but nobody looks at the alerts

When you do not need it

• Not needed if you have your own 24/7 SOC team; an incident response (IR) retainer for incidents requiring specialist expertise is enough.

Choose a provider that works with your existing EDR, with response authority and response times (SLA) written into the contract.
