An MDR relationship can be a huge win regardless of the size of your organization.

MSSP vs MDR. We can't have a conversation about MDR without first talking about Managed Security Service Provider.

Some MSSPs have evolved into MDRs, and in other cases the provider may have been an MDR from their first day of operation.

Threats continue to evolve and so must your MDR. MDR providers are multiplying because there is a pressing need for these services.

Walk into an MDR relationship with a clear view of how you might exit the relationship in the future.

Are there penalties for terminating the contract before its end date? Given the intimate knowledge your MDR has about your internal environment, how does the replaced MDR provider handle that data post-relationship? Is that data transferred to you and then destroyed, and if so, how exactly? Is the replaced provider willing and able to work with a new provider to ensure a clean transition if you move?
