Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is defined by Quadrant Knowledge Solutions as a managed service that seamlessly integrates technology and human expertise. This comprehensive solution empowers organizations to promptly identify, analyze, investigate, and actively respond to cyber threats, thereby minimizing their impact through real-time threat mitigation and containment. MDR solutions offer swift defense capabilities across various domains, including endpoints, networks, hardware systems, applications, OT/IoT, and enterprise assets.
Providers of MDR utilize authentic attack data to enhance an organization's overall security posture, safeguarding it against evolving threats. A robust MDR solution should possess the ability to investigate endpoints thoroughly, search for historical information related to endpoints, utilize indicators of compromise to detect threats, and automatically identify potential security risks.
