Bloor analyzed the most often cited MDR providers delivering technology-agnostic services and named Kroll a Champion. Nearly three years since Bloor Research analyzed the managed detection and response (MDR) landscape, its 2023 MDR Market Update shows a maturing market sector where vendors go beyond endpoint detection and response (EDR) to ingest a variety of telemetry, including cloud services, and develop more robust incident response (IR).

Currently, it is possible to offer managed detection and response services from a SOC that are implemented in different ways. All implementation alternatives have their advantages and disadvantages, which must be carefully evaluated before deciding to adopt one or another deployment model. The most common deployment models include.

The decision to buy a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) product or outsource to a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service depends on a number of factors, including the size of your organization, the complexity of your IT infrastructure, and your overall security needs.

MDR (Managed Detection and Response) is a type of cybersecurity service that combines advanced threat detection technologies with human expertise to provide continuous monitoring and rapid response to cyber threats. These services involve a team of cybersecurity experts who monitor an organization’s network and endpoints in real-time using advanced security tools, such as threat intelligence, machine learning, and behavioral analytics.
