A Handy Guide for Choosing a Managed Detection & Response (MDR) Service
2020-10-07 05:43

MDR is essentially an outsourced cybersecurity expert service that monitors a company's environment and provides an improved ability to detect, investigate, and respond to threats.

Interestingly, Cynet provides MDR service to its customers at no additional cost.

The list of MDR services provided in the whitepaper can be used as an instructive guide for companies looking to add or change their MDR provider.

Monitoring alerts across all security controls is a foundational element of MDR. Make sure your MDR provider does this 24x7. An MDR service should also prioritize alerts and have a process in place for contacting you in a prearranged manner when critical, time-sensitive alerts arise.

Ensuring all appropriate remediation actions are taken and guiding you through the entire process should also be something your MDR service provides.
