Benefits of MDR Services

Enhanced Threat Detection

MDR services proactively detect emerging threats and respond in real-time. MDR monitors network traffic, endpoints, and other data sources using Splunk SIEM/SOAR technologies for more robust and consistent threat intelligence.

Lowered Security Management Costs

Integrating Splunk Observability solutions with AMDR providers are responsible for security monitoring, threat hunting, vulnerability management, and incident response activities. This approach is more cost-effective than employing internal staff for continuous security management.

24/7 Monitoring and Response

With round-the-clock monitoring by dedicated security teams, MDR identifies new threats faster than internal teams, especially those with limited resources. 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

With the Splunk Observability suite offering hWorking with an MDR provider simplifies compliance through rapid and effective threat responses. Additionally, MDR security analysts know relevant industry compliance standards like HIPAA and ensure all controls and documentation requirements are in order.

Reduced Incident Response Time

MDR’s automated processes enable swift responses to threats and rapid mitigation of vulnerabilities.

Managed Detection and Response: FAQs

What is managed detection and response?

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.

What is the difference between EDR and MDR?

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.

How does MDR differ from managed security services?

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.

What threats does MDR protect against?

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.

Can MDR services be customized to fit specific industry needs?

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.

What technologies does TekStream use in its MDR solutions?

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.

What should I look for in an MDR provider?

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.
