Managed detection and response (MDR) is justifiably one of the fastest-growing areas of cybersecurity, with Gartner estimating 50 percent of organizations will be using MDR services by 2025. But in choosing an MDR service, security pros should take into consideration what kind of expertise the provider can bring to bear – and how that expertise should extend beyond the MDR service itself.

Gartner’s newly released 2023 Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services offers detailed advice to organizations on what capabilities an MDR provider must deliver in order to keep its clients secure. The guide reinforces the notion that a MDR provider must come to the table with a portfolio of strong supporting solutions to deliver an effective and comprehensive security product.

The well-respected industry analyst firm Gartner named Trustwave as a Representative Vendor in its just released 2023 Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services.

Trustwave and Trellix have entered a strategic partnership that will see the two premier cybersecurity companies deliver best-in-class Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions to enterprise-class organizations. The partnership will begin with Trustwave's innovative MDR services on Trellix EDR products, which will result in these clients receiving unrivaled threat visibility and the ability to detect and respond to threats faster and more precisely.

At a high level, the SOC's core mission remains to help the enterprise manage cyber risk, but what has changed is the sophistication of cyber threats and the mechanics of the SOC to operate. To successfully protect and respond to threats, SOCs need deep visibility into organization activity and automate key but repetitive functions while freeing analysts to focus on more valuable functions such as threat hunting and vulnerability management.

Trustwave Government Solutions (TGS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trustwave Holdings, Inc., which supports the public sector with market-leading Managed Detection and Response (MDR) cybersecurity services, has achieved Palo Alto Networks Cortex eXtended Managed Detection and Response (XMDR) Specialization.

Bloor analyzed the most often cited MDR providers delivering technology-agnostic services and named Kroll a Champion. Nearly three years since Bloor Research analyzed the managed detection and response (MDR) landscape, its 2023 MDR Market Update shows a maturing market sector where vendors go beyond endpoint detection and response (EDR) to ingest a variety of telemetry, including cloud services, and develop more robust incident response (IR).

Currently, it is possible to offer managed detection and response services from a SOC that are implemented in different ways. All implementation alternatives have their advantages and disadvantages, which must be carefully evaluated before deciding to adopt one or another deployment model. The most common deployment models include.
