From MSSP to MDR: Why Your Next RFP Should Be for Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

While security budgets aren’t necessarily decreasing, finance leaders are scrutinizing cybersecurity spending more than ever. As a result, security leaders are challenged to streamline their budgets, consolidate their tools, and make cost-effective decisions.

On the other hand, cyber threats are increasing in number and complexity. Threat actors are taking advantage of the economic uncertainties and leveraging novel tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to target high-revenue organizations.

Now more than ever, you need to ensure your team has the 24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities needed to build cyber resilience, reduce operational downtime, and prevent revenue disruption for your business.

Rather than engaging a traditional Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), a second, more preferred, option is to engage a multi-signal Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider, who will not only conduct 24/7 threat detection and containment but will also act as an extension of your team and provide complete response – on your behalf.
