For many organizations, the big question around Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is not whether they want it (they do), but how to fund it.<\/p>\n

MDR is typically a new weapon in an organization\u2019s cyber defense arsenal \u2013 and a new funding ask. While some organizations can leverage their contingency allocations, not every IT budget has sufficient stretch to cover an MDR investment in the short term.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, other options are available for organizations that are struggling to fund MDR through their existing cybersecurity budget. One solution is to use MDR to unlock savings on cyber insurance premiums that can be redirected to fund the service itself.<\/p>\n

Re-balance your cyber risk reduction spend<\/strong><\/h2>\n

MDR and cyber insurance are two complementary ways to manage cyber risk. With MDR you reduce your risk by elevating your defenses; with insurance you transfer the risk to a third-party.<\/p>\n

Insurers recognize the superior risk reduction that MDR delivers, rewarding organizations with lower premiums and better terms. Indeed, one leading carrier told me that MDR users are their \u201ctier 1 customers\u201d due to their lower risk of experiencing a high-cost incident. All things being equal, many insurers prefer to cover MDR users and price their policies accordingly.<\/p>\n

This recognition enables organizations to re-balance their cyber risk reduction spend; with less funding needed for insurance, budget can be re-directed to fund MDR. The result is a win-win, with organizations benefiting from both better cyber defenses and lower cost coverage.<\/p>\n
