Managed Detection & Response — Your Questions Answered
What is Managed Detection & Response (MDR)?
MDR is a managed cybersecurity service that combines security technology, threat monitoring, investigation and response expertise to help businesses identify and respond to potential cyber threats.
What is the difference between MDR and EDR?
EDR focuses primarily on detecting and responding to threats affecting endpoints such as workstations and servers. MDR adds a managed security layer that can provide broader monitoring, investigation, threat intelligence and response capabilities.
Does MDR replace antivirus or EDR?
No. MDR is designed to work alongside security technologies such as endpoint protection and EDR. These tools provide important security data and protection, while MDR adds monitoring, investigation and managed response capabilities.
Can MDR help with compliance requirements?
MDR reporting and security visibility can support compliance and governance efforts by providing insight into incidents, vulnerabilities, threats and response activity. However, MDR alone does not guarantee compliance with a particular standard or framework.
What happens when a potential threat is detected?
Suspicious security activity can be reviewed and investigated to determine its context and potential impact. Where intervention is required, appropriate containment and mitigation actions can help limit the threat and reduce further risk.
