Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

Detect, analyze, and respond faster with AI-enabled systems and expert insights that strengthen your cyber defenses.

The threat landscape is expanding faster than defenses

Security leaders face relentless pressure from an ever-widening threat landscape. Rapid business growth, new digital channels, and an expanding attack surface are increasing risk and complexity. At the same time, limited resources and a rising volume of incidents make it harder to maintain strong defenses or realize value from legacy managed services security providers (MSSPs). And the challenges are coming from all directions, including:

Rapidly changing business operations and digital initiatives.
Expanding attack arenas across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Persistent resource and skills shortages.
Budget constraints that limit new approaches and innovation.
Static value and limited visibility from traditional MSSPs.
