Acronym for Managed Detection and Response—24/7 security monitoring with human analysts who respond to threats.
MDR stands for Managed Detection and Response. See 'Managed Detection and Response' for the full definition. MDR has become one of the most effective ways for organisations without large security teams to achieve continuous threat monitoring and rapid incident response.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
MDR is increasingly requested on customer security questionnaires and required for cyber insurance. It demonstrates you have professional security monitoring without the cost of an in-house SOC team.
