“With more than $6 trillion in cybercrime last year alone, having a tool that alerts against viruses, locks down firewalls and shuts out intruders is a great start,” says Chandra Majumdar, EY Cyber Threat Management Leader. “It flags what’s known, based on the prescribed rules and parameters used. But large-scale breaches are still happening, and when it comes to cybersecurity, it’s the unknown that poses the biggest risk. When alarms are going off, event monitoring technology won’t be there to guide you on your next move.”
Enter the next evolution in cybersecurity: Managed Detection & Response (MDR) Services. Instead of relying on automated tools alone to flag potential risks flowing into your organization, MDR pairs proactive detection and threat-hunting with machine learning and human oversight.
A team of advisors regularly investigates your environment based on currently active threats and provides actionable solutions in real time, using your existing investments in infrastructure and security architecture.
Having an independent tech stack layered on top of these tools acts as an extension of your current toolset and a valuable second set of eyes focused on detection and response, without interrupting or requiring any significant change or further investment in infrastructure or operations.
