Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

What Is Managed Detection and Response (MDR)?

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a security service that provides organizations with the ability to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats in a timely and effective manner. MDR services are typically provided by a third-party security provider and involve the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to detect and respond to threats. MDR services are designed to supplement an organization's existing security infrastructure and provide an additional layer of protection against cyber threats.

Description

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a security service that provides organizations with the ability to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats in a timely and effective manner.

Usage and Examples

MDR services are typically used by organizations to supplement their existing security infrastructure and provide an additional layer of protection against cyber threats. For example, an MDR service may be used to detect and respond to malicious activity on a network, such as a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, or to detect and respond to malicious activity on an endpoint, such as a malicious file or malicious code. Additionally, MDR services may be used to detect and respond to insider threats, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data or malicious activity by an employee.
