Benefits of MDR Services
Enhanced Threat Detection

And when the system detects a threat, even during off-hours or on weekends when internal IT may be absent, the MDR security team takes swift action without waiting until the next business day.
Improved Compliance and Risk Management

Managed Detection and Response: FAQs
MDR (managed detection and response) is a comprehensive cybersecurity service that combines technology and human analysts to detect threats and respond to security incidents. TekStream’s MDR service uses Splunk SIEM technology for 24/7 monitoring, real-time data ingestion and review, and automated quick response to enhance visibility, address new threats, and system improvements.
EDR and MDR are both cybersecurity solutions. However, EDR focuses only on endpoint-level protection and threat detection, while MDR offers comprehensive visibility. Managed detection and response services use EDR technology as part of managed solutions to gain visibility into servers since EDR provides endpoint monitoring, but EDR doesn’t depend on MDR. TekStream analysts use MDR and EDR to monitor endpoints.
MDR differs from managed security services in that it offers investigation services after threats as part of its solution. On the other hand, a managed security service issues threat alerts but doesn’t investigate them.
MDR protects many organizations from threats like data breaches and ransomware infections in their networks. Most MDR providers integrate with cloud-based URL and email filtering services to detect and block phishing URLs and suspicious emails in real-time. Moreover, behavioral analytics reveal insider misuse of privileged access and unauthorized transfer of sensitive data outside the organization.
Yes, most managed detection and response solution providers customize their offerings to fit the specific security monitoring, detection, and response needs of different industries. For example, healthcare MDR may focus on ransomware or data privacy attacks. The financial sector benefits from MDR cybersecurity solutions through the monitoring of payment systems and apps to detect breaches. TekStream has delivered successful MDR solutions for customers across government, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors.
TekStream’s managed detection and response solution is a blend of Splunk SIEM/SOAR technologies and human expertise. These are augmented by CrowdStrike’s endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities to provide comprehensive visibility. Our managed threat detection services and processes are cutting-edge to offer maximum security for our customers.
When selecting a managed detection and response provider, assess their security expertise, experience, and technological capabilities. Check their certifications and knowledge of security analysts who are actively monitoring threats. In addition, make sure they use top-of-the-line SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and other security tools to handle managed threat detection and response.
