When facing the ever-increasing numbers of cyber-attacks in today’s landscape, it is imperative that organizations have the proper detection but also response capabilities to stay ahead of emerging threats. In India, that is never more true as Indian organizations are experiencing an unprecedented surge in cyber-attacks. According to Check Point’s Threat Intelligence Report, Indian organizations faced an average of 2,924 attacks per week over the past six months, significantly higher than the global average of 1,401 attacks per organization.
Furthermore, a PWC survey revealed that 38% of respondents believe their company is highly vulnerable to cyber threats. This has led to cyber security rising from the third to the top spot on the risk radar, compared to the previous year’s survey.
To address these cyber security challenges, Managed eXtended Detection and Response (MXDR) is a next-generation solution that offers comprehensive protection by integrating and extending traditional MDR (Managed Detection and Response) capabilities.
What is MXDR and How is it Different from MDR?
MDR (Managed Detection and Response) focuses on identifying and responding to threats across an organization’s endpoints. It provides 24/7 monitoring, threat hunting, and incident response, enabling security teams to quickly detect and mitigate threats.
MXDR (Managed eXtended Detection and Response) takes this a step further by offering unified visibility and response capabilities across multiple security platforms and attack vectors. MXDR integrates data from endpoints, networks, servers, cloud services, and more into a single dashboard, enhancing the ability to detect, investigate, and respond to threats across the entire IT environment.
Key Benefits of MXDR
- Integrated Visibility: MXDR provides a comprehensive view of your organization’s security landscape by integrating data from various sources. This unified visibility allows security analysts to gain a deeper understanding of potential threats and make informed decisions.
- Rapid Time to Value: With out-of-the-box integrations and pre-tuned detection mechanisms, MXDR enables organizations to quickly realize the value of their cyber security investments. This means faster deployment and immediate protection.
- Improved Productivity: By consolidating security data into a single dashboard, MXDR eliminates the need for analysts to switch between multiple tools. This streamlined approach enhances productivity and allows for more efficient threat detection and response.
- Rapid Unified Detection and Response: MXDR provides centralized incident response capabilities, enabling security analysts to swiftly address threats across all environments. This reduces the overall impact and cost of attacks.
- Enhanced Compliance: MXDR solutions include compliance reporting and audit capabilities, helping organizations meet regulatory requirements and avoid costly penalties. This ensures your organization adheres to industry best practices.
