Third-Party Risk: How MDR Offers Relief as Security Threats Abound

While third-party products and services are crucial to everyday business operations for almost any company, they also present significant security concerns, as high-profile attacks including SolarWinds and MOVEit laid bare. Trustwave research shows the attacks vary by industry but also makes clear the best defense is the stringent application of the latest security measures, including penetration tests, vulnerability scans, and managed detection and response (MDR) services.

How to Ensure Proper Managed Detection and Response Coverage, Even with Rapid Onboarding

Managed detection and response (MDR) providers often tout how quickly they can onboard new clients, and rapid onboarding can indeed be essential in many instances, but speed is not always paramount. What is crucial for long-term peace of mind is to configure the MDR service for robust detection of threats and protection of all your critical assets. This scope-of-coverage aspect can get lost as MDR providers promise to onboard clients in ever-tightening timeframes, including self-service onboarding.

Trustwave Named a Representative Vendor in 2024 Gartner Market Guide for Co-Managed Security Monitoring Services

Trustwave has been named a Representative Vendor in Gartner just released the 2024 Market Guide for Co-Managed Security Monitoring Services. Gartner estimates that there are more than 500 vendors who offer co-managed security monitoring services. Trustwave was listed as a Representative Vendor that does not imply an exhaustive list.

Frost & Sullivan: Trustwave MDR Growth Will Exceed Industry Average

The security analyst firm Frost & Sullivan positioned Trustwave as a leader and top innovator in its research on the MDR market landscape, noting its innovative, industry-leading cloud-native Fusion platform provides visibility into cloud, network, endpoint, OT, and email environments, while its Managed Detection and Response solution will spur faster than average industry revenue growth.

What Is MXDR and Why Do You Need It?

Managed XDR (MXDR) is a service-led security solution that uses a wide range of telemetry sources to better unify and automate incident investigation, analysis, and response. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is the technology at the heart of MXDR. It is a security platform that unifies telemetry across multiple security layers, such as networks, endpoints, applications, email, identities, and cloud services, into a single platform.

Does Your MDR Deliver Outcomes - or Homework?

At CrowdStrike, we’re on a very simple mission: We stop breaches. It’s easy for us to make this claim but challenging to put into practice and maintain day in and day out. Still, we know with absolute confidence that nobody provides managed detection and response (MDR) better than our CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete MDR team. Why? Because we prioritize outcomes above all else, and we never leave customers stranded with extra work.

Managed Detection and Response: A Cure for Cyber Alert Fatigue and Scalability Challenges

Alert fatigue is a long-standing problem in cybersecurity that only increases in severity as a company grows. In that sense, alert fatigue is inextricably tied to another challenge: the need for scalability in cybersecurity. Quite often, the remedy for both is to get help, such as with a managed detection and response (MDR) service that can triage, investigate, and respond to alerts. Market numbers help illustrate the scope of the issue.

MDR utilizes advanced security tools to extend defenses

Making the right choice on how best to detect, respond to and manage security threats is more important-and more complicated-than ever. To meet the demands of digital transformation and remote work, which have expanded the attack surface available to threat actors, organizations are scouring the market for new solutions that go beyond basic managed detection and response (MDR). They require a more versatile and flexible service that incorporates leading-edge tools such as XDR, MXDR, SIEM and SOAR.

Comparing the tools used in MDR

Cyberthreats are advancing, and so must your security tools. Threats such as malware and denial-of-service attacks have been around since the earliest days of the internet, and the cybersecurity industry has created generations of threat detection and response tools to identify and remediate them. As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve and advance, the tools to identify and stop them need to evolve as well. The latest trend is to consolidate security tools onto a framework that incorporates AI to share information and speed threat identification.

Advantages of including an MDR service in your offering

Cyberattacks are evolving and growing more sophisticated, organizations are reacting to this by scaling the cybersecurity solutions they deploy to include services that go beyond threat protection. They are increasingly realizing that other factors such as monitoring and responsiveness are key to protecting their business.
