Managed detection and response (MDR) solutions aren’t an optional luxury for business cybersecurity. As a business owner, you need an MDR solution simply because you have a lot more to lose if a cyber incident occurs.

“It’s not enough to simply defend yourself when cyberthreats are ever evolving. Proactive threat hunting is necessary in today’ threat landscape.”  – Tab Bradshaw, Chief Operating Officer, Redpoint Cybersecurity

Individuals aren’t likely to face potential legal repercussions if cyber threats compromise their personal devices. The same cannot be said for corporate networks. That’s because businesses often hold client personal information on their systems. In the case of an incident, affected clients may seek civil lawsuits for privacy violations or negligence.

MDR services leverage proactive threat hunting to ensure potential issues are detected and isolated before they hit that point. However, your organization can also benefit from MDR solutions in ways that go beyond protecting yourself from legal issues.

This article is here to show you those benefits. We’ll explore not simply why you need MDR services, but why they provide a significant advantage for your security posture.

 

 

6 Top Managed Detection and Response Benefits

1. Increased Threat Visibility

MDR gives you a bird’s eye view of your entire network, including your endpoints, servers, and cloud environments. By leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning, MDR makes hidden threats clearer. That allows for the early identification of potential security issues.

2. Faster Incident Remediation

MDR providers can quickly isolate any threats detected. This rapid threat containment gives the threat less time to potentially infect other parts of your network. Plus, pairing MDR with endpoint detection and response (EDR) can isolate threats further by confining them to the single endpoint where they started.

3. Global Real-Time Threat Intelligence

MDR services tap into a vast network of threat intelligence sources, delivering real-time updates and insights about emerging threats worldwide. This global perspective helps you stay ahead of cybercriminals by arming you with the latest information and defensive strategies.

4. Cybersecurity Strategy Maturity

By providing expert guidance and recommendations based on the latest security trends and your specific risk profile, MDR helps you build a more robust defense mechanism tailored to your organization’s needs. Therefore, you’ll mature your cybersecurity strategy while using advanced methodologies to protect your organization.

5. Increased Budget Predictability 

Typically, MDR is included in a retainer that charges you a predictable rate at regular intervals. The cost and schedule will vary based on your provider. However, no matter the variables, you’ll still benefit from a more predictable cybersecurity budget.

That’s not even to mention the amount that you’ll save by reducing your cyber risks. Firstly, choosing MDR can decrease the cost of your cyber insurance premiums depending on your provider. Secondly, the cost of mitigating data breaches has increased by 30% over the past 10 years. MDR lessens the chances of one occurring on your network.

6. Continuous Improvement

MDR services include continuous 24×7 monitoring of your security procedures and incident response tactics in action. These ongoing evaluations allow for constant enhancements that ensure your cybersecurity strategy remains resilient as threats evolve.
