What it is

An external security operations team that monitors your endpoint and other security tools 24/7, investigates alerts and takes containment actions on your behalf.

How to value it

Ransomware often runs at night and over holidays because attackers know nobody is watching. For most organisations a round-the-clock in-house security operations centre is out of reach. MDR buys that coverage, and the experience of responders who see many incidents.

Questions to ask a vendor

  1. 1Which actions can you take without calling us first, and how fast?
  2. 2Which tools do you monitor: only your own, or our existing ones too?
  3. 3Where are your analysts and our data located?
  4. 4What do a monthly report and an incident escalation look like?

For your risk register

Attacks outside office hours progress to impact before anyone reacts.

How we list vendors

  • A product is listed because it provides the control. Nobody pays to be listed, and on story pages the examples rotate, so no vendor is always first.
  • Vendor pages show both the vendor's own research and the incidents involving its products, from our own coverage. We do not leave either out.
  • Our summaries are written by us, based on the vendors' own pages. Text in quotation marks or marked "in their own words" is the vendor's own, quoted from its website.
  • Logos, product names and quoted text belong to the vendors and are shown to identify them.
  • Something wrong? Use "Suggest a correction" on the vendor's page. A product we should look at? Email support@threatnoir.com.
