Stopping the most advanced attacks requires human-led threat hunting, investigation, and response. Which is where MDR, or managed detection and response, services come in.<\/p>\n<p><b>MDR is a fully managed, 24\/7 service delivered by experts who <\/b><span style=\"font-family: SophosSansSemibold, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\"><b>specialize<\/b><\/span><b> in detecting and responding to cyberattacks that technology solutions alone cannot prevent.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>While threat hunting can be performed in house using EDR (endpoint detection and response) and XDR (extended detection and response) tools, there are extensive benefits to using an MDR service either alongside your in-house team or as a fully outsourced service.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to work with MDR services<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>All types of organizations across all sectors use MDR services, from small companies with limited IT resources to large enterprises with an in-house SOC group. There are three main MDR response models:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>MDR team completely manages threat response on behalf of the customer<\/li>\n<li>MDR team works with the in-house team, co-managing threat response<\/li>\n<li>MDR team alerts the in-house team and provides remediation guidance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At Sophos we support all three approaches, adapting to individual customer requirements as needed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reason #1: Elevate your cyber defenses<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the major advantages of using an MDR provider over in-house only security operations programs is elevated protection against ransomware and other advanced cyber threats.<\/p>\n<p>An MDR vendor will experience a far greater volume and variety of attacks than any individual organization, giving them a level of expertise that is almost impossible to replicate in house.\u00a0MDR service providers also have much greater fluency in using threat hunting tools, enabling them to respond more quickly and accurately.<\/p>\n<p>Working as part of a large team also enables analysts to share their knowledge and insights, further accelerating response and developing \u2018community immunity\u2019 i.e. where learnings from one organization are applied to others with a similar profile.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-14.31.48.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87051\" src=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-14.31.48.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-14.31.48.png 1502w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-14.31.48.png?resize=300,60 300w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-14.31.48.png?resize=768,152 768w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-14.31.48.png?resize=1024,203 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reason #2: Free-up IT capacity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Anecdotally, the biggest benefit reported by IT teams on adopting Sophos MDR is that it frees them up to support business-focused initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Threat hunting is time-consuming, and unpredictable work that often prevents IT teams from focusing on more strategic projects.
