\n\"PadlocksWhile working for a managed security service<\/a> provider (MSSP), Mike Sci \u2013 currently a senior solutions architect for eSentire \u2013 noticed that clients commonly purchased security information and event management (SIEM) solutions and ended up overburdened with alerts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would send clients alerts, and they didn\u2019t know what to do with them,\u201d Sci said. \u201cIt\u2019s great to get an alert from a provider, but who responds to it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Then he came across a marketplace guide from Gartner describing a solution that answers that question and solves the alert fatigue problem: Managed detection and response (MDR)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That was the beginning of Sci\u2019s journey in the MDR space. In his current role at eSentire, a leading MDR provider, he helps business leaders understand the security solution marketplace and safeguard data across networks, endpoints, and the cloud. During a webinar hosted by the technology advisory firm Stratosphere Networks on November 15, Sci instructed attendees on evaluating MDR suppliers and solutions.<\/p>\n

For those who couldn\u2019t attend, here\u2019s a recap of some essential information covered during the virtual event.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Cybersecurity: The big data problem<\/h2>\n

Modern businesses face a tidal wave of data. With information pouring in from cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments, there\u2019s more noise to make sense of and a larger attack surface for cybercriminals to target, Sci explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to leverage a platform to solve this massive data analysis problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The answer is a true MDR solution that captures signals from your network, endpoints, logs, and clouds via a common gateway, then normalizes the data and enriches it with whois info, machine learning, and global threat intelligence.<\/p>\n

Defining the MDR marketplace: How to find the true MDR suppliers<\/h2>\n

Following the emergence of MDR in the security solution space, it quickly became a buzzword, and suppliers that don\u2019t truly offer full-visibility MDR solutions started utilizing the terminology. Sci notes that the number of MDR suppliers listed by Gartner shot up from 14 in 2016 to over 200 today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho are the contenders, and who are the pretenders?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

Although there isn\u2019t a singular definition for true managed detection and response, Sci offered the following methodology for identifying true MDR solutions and assessing suppliers.<\/p>\n
