Weed Out the MDR Pretenders

While most MDR vendors and MSSPs claim to deliver complete protection, the fact is many provide limited signal visibility, overwhelm your team with alerts, and don’t integrate with your existing technology stack. The result? You’re left unprotected against today's sophisticated threats.

How to spot fake MDR promises:

  • An automated SOAR vs 24/7 human expertise
  • Limited integration partners/open source only
  • No proactive threat hunting
  • Limited manual response actions
  • No operationalized threat intelligence
  • No network coverage

In contrast, a real MDR provider addresses five measurable components of your protection:

  1. 1Risk Management and Vulnerability Assessment
  2. 2Management and Support
  3. 3High-Fidelity, Multi-Signal Visibility
  4. 4Threat Detection and Automated Blocking
  5. 5Human-led Investigation, Threat Containment & Response

The nice thing with eSentire is that they’re always looking at my network, my environment, and everything that’s coming through. I can sleep at night. I don’t need to have a 24/7 SOC. I know that my network is being looked at and if they see something that they deem to be a threat, they can prevent it, or block it and stop it, and get a hold of my team if needed.
