Understanding The 2021 Gartner Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services

We believe, a Market Guide defines a market and explains what clients can expect it to do in the short term. With the focus on early, more chaotic markets, a Market Guide does not rate or position vendors within the market, but rather more commonly outlines attributes of representative vendors that are providing offerings in the market to give further insight into the market itself. We feel the Gartner Market Guide helps organizations learn about the below.

XDR: Demystifying the Hottest Cybersecurity Buzzword

Extended detection and response (XDR) has transpired into a market description that, in my not so humble opinion, proves to be as troublesome as the phrases “next gen” or “machine learning” were from 2016 to 2020. I’ll quote myself from a popular blog post from my time at Gartner: Naming aside, the one thing that all InfoSec commentators agree on is that XDR is an evolution of the endpoint-centric approach pioneered by legacy security vendors.

But before you begin to evaluate or build a program you need to first define and cement what it is you are looking to accomplish with your program.

XDR marketing is fueling the cybersecurity problem for businesses

If there is one positive we can take from the last sixteen months, it is businesses embracing a more flexible working culture for their employees. Fundamental changes to the traditional nine-to-five working day means that many companies, in part, have already successfully transformed some of their operations to meet the demands of a new hybrid working world that is now very much the norm.

Converging Platforms: How Do XDR, SIEM, and SOAR Compare?

Security information and event management (SIEM), security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR), and the newer extended detection and response (XDR) solutions have become the top choices for organizations wanting a unified view of activity within their IT environments. By combining relevant data into single consoles, XDR, SIEM and SOAR technologies minimize the time analysts spend moving between platforms and make it easier to correlate the data and develop subsequent steps appropriately.

Security Operations for Financial Institutions

Financial institutions, particularly regional banks and credit unions, are facing challenges both in terms of safeguarding data of their customers and meeting data security compliance standards. Information technology (IT) teams in these institutions are stretched thin. They struggle with needing to meet compliance obligations while simultaneously combatting cyberthreats.
