Common Questions about MDR Cyber Security

MDR Cyber Security stands for Managed Detection and Response, Cyber Security.

MDR Cyber Security is a service that is an IT cyber security service that detects intrusions, malware, and malicious activity in your network and assists in rapid response to eliminate and mitigate those threats.

Quality MDR Cyber Security services, like XCELIT’s, have a very light footprint on your network and use a combination of human analysts and technology to eliminate false positives, identify real security threats, and develop incident responses in real time.

While the average time across industries to detect a compromised asset is close to 198 days, MDR Cyber Security typically reduces that to hours, and therefore minimizes the impact of a security event.

It depends on your industry as to when you may choose to obtain MDR Cyber Security, however a a guide any organisation that has ten or more staff consider MDR Cyber Security as your business will become a target for hackers or cyber criminals, more commonly known as threat actors.

The clearest need for MDR Cyber Security is among organisations that have a regulatory requirement to provide effective detection and response (healthcare, financial services, etc.), yet have no fully-staffed Security Operations Centre (SOC).

Many organisations outsource MDR Cyber Security to XCELIT to outsource recruitment and retention of talented staff, or indeed to access talent they may otherwise struggle to maintain. Cost however is a big driver, solutions such as XCELIT’s MDR Cyber Security costing much less than an equivalent in house solution would.

XCELIT is here to assist, even if you are unsure, reach out.

Cyber Security doesn’t have to be complex, however as an industry we have made it this way.

The trick is to watch out for sales agents claiming a product is more than it is, or even calling a product something that it is not. For example, it is not uncommon for claims of a 24/7/365 SOC to be applied to services that are not eye’s on glass, which is an over reach. In these cases, SOC Services may be applied during normal shifts, but not 24/7/365, although alarm monitoring may be.

XCELIT’s MDR Cyber Security Solution is a true 24/7/365 operation with eyes on glass.

MDR Cyber Security may also be known as Managed Threat Detection and Response Cyber Security (MTDR):
