The role of managed detection and response (MDR)

For organizations that want to maximize their security strategies, but cannot fund full-time security teams, initiatives like MDR can be a viable option. Why?

To facilitate the work of security teams, when creating an incident response team, it is necessary to set up an organizational structure with a policy that is applicable and mainly effective. (this section seems a little out of place)

Essentially, MDR is made up of security analysts and response analysts who examine an organization's records for suspicious events. For example: proactive threat detection and analysis, including vulnerability analysis, patches, firmware updates and monitoring of intrusion prevention and detection systems ( IDS / IPS ).

After registering a malicious activity, the team will do a more in-depth analysis. MDR is then responsible for researching threats and resolving incidents.

This creates a delivery process for solving the analyzed case - such as notification to the customer, threat intelligence or some other pre-defined action.

Companies that failed to update their systems to correct known gaps - and that could have been avoided - exemplify the importance of the MDR approach.

MDR contributes to a change in the mentality of companies to transform and balance prevention with innovative methods.
