Why do you need a managed network detection and response solution?
Traditional security teams find adapting their cyber defence systems to outpace the evolving cyber-attacks challenging.
In previous times, intrusion defence systems sufficed, even with the challenge of false positives, leading to organisations mistaking their legitimate software as malware. Today, Managed NDR eliminates this problem while proffering network processing, forensics and threat intelligence abilities to improve your organisation’s security posture.
Several reasons why your organisation needs an MNDR service exist. Some of them are:
- Your organisation needs a managed network detection and response tool to uncover malicious intent and sophisticated attackers even when they camouflage as justified activities.
- You need managed NDR tools, especially if your organisation doesn’t possess the expertise to partner with its internal resources.
- MNDR tools help business owners gain situational awareness of their network environment.
The critical importance of a managed NDR service to businesses is evident in Gartner’s network-centric SOC visibility triad. This triad features SIEM systems, EDR tools and Managed NDR. Independently, the three security systems are great, but they create security gaps which close when they’re in unison.
For instance, SIEM is a data source which needs the constant monitoring and network coverage that MNDR provides. MNDR needs security leads that SIEM and UEBA provide, while EDR covers the endpoint threats, exposing the rest of the network. The combination of these three tools results in the equilibrium of the SOC visibility triad, which offers impenetrable security to threats and malicious attackers.
In essence, while an MNDR service will alleviate the existence of threats in your network, nothing beats the layered protection of the SOC triad.
