How is this different from Anti-Virus?
Are all MDR services the same?
In the Essentials, you get access to a 500 person 24x7x265 Security Operation Center or SOC. Our team preforms active threat hunts, brings in logs from many sources to correlate evnets, and can respond on your behalf.
In Complete, you get access to all those plus an additional $1 million cyber warranty, root cause analysis, and full remediation services.
Our approach to threat detection and response is to provides holistic protection against cyberattacks, unauthorized access and misuse. Our MDR services bring in the data from your backup solution, identity provider, firewall, email security and more to break down traditional security silos to deliver detection and response for the entire org. This prevents attacks from taking root and causing damage in many case.
Could we do it ourselves?
Maintaining an EDR system requires a dedicated team of skilled cybersecurity professionals. When you are trying to be a lean organization, it can be both expensive and difficult to acquire in today's competitive job market. The recruitment and retention of qualified staff, coupled with ongoing training and certification expenses, can strain an organization's budget and operational efficiency. Additionally, the constantly evolving threat landscape demands that staff stay updated on the latest attack techniques, further adding to the resource burden.
Configuring and Maintaining Security Tools poses a substantial hurdle. EDR solutions are complex, and configuring them effectively to suit an organization's unique needs can be a daunting and time-consuming process. Moreover, maintaining these tools to ensure they remain effective requires continuous updates, patch management, and vigilant monitoring. For many organizations, this can be a logistical nightmare, often resulting in misconfigurations, overlooked vulnerabilities, and delayed responses to threats.
Upfront Investment Costs are a significant barrier for organizations looking to establish an in-house Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capability. Implementing a robust EDR system involves significant capital expenditure, covering hardware, software licenses, and infrastructure enhancements. This substantial upfront investment can strain an organization's budget, diverting resources away from other critical areas of operation. Furthermore, these costs may not be scalable, making it challenging for smaller organizations to access the level of security they need.
