MDR

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.

How a Managed Detection and Response Provider's Global Footprint Helps Defend Against Cyber Threats

Cyber threats can originate from anywhere around the globe. For services such as managed detection and response (MDR) to effectively defend against them requires a managed security service provider (MSSP) that likewise has a global footprint. The top 10 countries from which distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) originate include China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Russia, and Germany, according to data collected by the cloud services company Cloudflare. At the same time, the U.S.

Bolstering cybersecurity for operational technology systems with MDR for OT

Many organizations have some kind of digitally driven industrial and operational processes that are mission critical. These systems now are under increasing pressure from cyberattacks, and the financial, operational, and reputational costs of downtime from them are enormous.

Understanding the Lines Between EDR, NDR, TDR, XDR, and MDR

The world of cybersecurity doesn’t lack for acronyms. Whether it’s protocols and standards or tools and technology, the market is dominated by an endless array of capital letters. In recent years, as both technology and threat actors have evolved, more and more platforms are branding themselves with “D’s” and “R’s” for “detection and response.”
