MDR Security: Putting Your Organisation First

The cyber landscape has become a maze – with so many different winding routes, many with dead ends, it’s difficult for any organisation to really consider the best security solution for them. Which solution will make it to the red flag in the centre of the maze? Which solution will engage with the very core of an organisation’s security posture to evaluate the effectiveness of (red) flagging those security risks?

Let’s take a look at how MDR security could enhance your organisation’s security posture.

What is MDR Security?

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is now one of the most sought-after security solutions, incorporating threat intelligence, threat hunting and 24/7 security management to detect and respond to cyber threats faster and more accurately than most in-house IT security teams could, significantly reducing the cyber risk to the business.

Organisations no longer need to protect their business from cyber risks independently; an MDR service acts as a trusted security partnership where customers’ security is left in the hands of a team who truly understand their business and are experts in the field of mitigating risk.

In some cases, MDR goes beyond this to offer hybrid capabilities, where organisations can have as little or as much say as they please, learning how to navigate the competitive landscape with side-by-side support.

In either case, organisations are left feeling safe in their respective environment, knowing cyber threats are comfortably at bay.

Talion’s MDR Platform – 4 Key Components

3 Key Features of MDR Security

MDR is an always-on service that detects threats, significantly reduces false positives and automatically responds to attacks – it is this consistent efficiency that makes it such a beneficial service for many organisations. But what are the top 3 features of every MDR provider?

• Fully managed, 24x7x365 threat monitoring service that detects, hunts and investigates security risks
• Threat intelligence capabilities to report on threat coverage and identify vulnerabilities
• A team of security experts, accelerating incident response with context and guidance on how best to respond to threats

What are the Benefits of a MDR Security Service?

✅ Automates remediation

✅ Investigates and detects threats rapidly

✅ Enables a deeper understanding of security monitoring coverage

✅ Exposes new threats through both automated and manual threat hunting

✅ Detects anomalous user actions fast, reducing chance of insider threat

✅ Identifies the threat of high-risk insiders

Would Your Organisation Benefit From a MDR Service?

Well-versed in understanding MDR but there’s just too many options available?

That’s understandable, what with EDR, XDR, SIEM and SOAR – the acronyms are endless.

We advise that if your organisation is struggling with any of the following problems, an MDR security service would likely be a beneficial solution:

• A lean or overwhelmed IT security team that cannot process security alerts fast enough for remediation
• A shortage of skilled IT talent across the organisation
• Money and time are too sparse to build and hire an IT security team from scratch
• Difficulty knowing the best course of action when significant security alerts are present
• Not seeing a worthwhile outcome on current security investments

Alternatively, you might want to consider our Hybrid SOC approach to build your own tailored approach from the ground up.
