Endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions are a crucial element of any cyber defense strategy. In general, EDR solutions help companies detect issues on the myriad number of devices their employees use. Although an EDR’s value is apparent there’s a simple way to draw additional value from an EDR system while strengthening your defense in depth strategy by adding a managed detection and response (MDR) solution.

Trustwave was honored during Cyber Defense Magazine in the 11th Annual Global InfoSec Awards at the 2023 RSA Conference, taking home accolades for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Service Providers and was named the Market Leader in Penetration Testing.

When researching which managed detection and response (MDR) service provider to partner with, security professionals would do well to consider whether the provider also has experience with threat hunting, a topic we covered in a previous post. As with MDR, however, threat hunting offerings can vary dramatically, and an innovative, human-led form promises significant gains in terms of cyber protection: advanced continual threat hunting.

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.
