What is MDR?
Managed Detection & Response offers Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) as a service. While EDR utilizes technology and tools to monitor, log, and record events from nearly any manner of endpoint activity, MDR can provide the expert threat analysis needed to help contextualize this data and empower teams to take action on the threats that matter most. Perhaps the biggest benefit of MDR versus EDR is that MDR can help speed time-to-detection and time-to-response or remediation, all without adding staff or headcount. Learn more here.
What kinds of data are monitored with Coalition’s MDR*?
While endpoint data is monitored most often— devices like laptops, printers, smartphones, tablets, and servers—any data across the security stack can be included to extend round-the-clock monitoring and response to data from networks, email, cloud, and more. For businesses interested in even more visibility, our MDR Plus offering allows us to monitor O365 logs, Azure AD/AD logs, Firewall logs, MFA logs, and more.
How is Coalition’s MDR better than hiring my own security analyst?
One of the best benefits of our MDR solution is the expertise we bring to help you monitor and respond to even the most sophisticated cyber attacks. Data and tools can be helpful, but it’s nearly impossible for a single analyst to keep up with the latest and emerging threat vectors and attacks. Our team lives in real-world cyber attacks every day, and they put that knowledge toward helping our clients respond to cyber attacks faster—or even prevent them and their impact entirely. Plus, using a vetted MDR solution can be a cost-effective way to scale your security expertise – without additional headcount.
How does Coalition’s MDR help prevent attacks typically missed?
Security teams are often inundated with signs, signals, and alerts from any number of tools, making cutting through the noise challenging and often overwhelming. Our team’s expertise is in understanding which signs and signals indicate potential compromise and how to respond and remediate quickly. We help you stay one step ahead of the attacks by alerting you of the risks, vulnerabilities, and signals that others may have missed or ignored
What are the tools or technologies behind Coalition’s MDR solution?
Our team of expert threat hunters employs a collection of technologies to help you better protect your business, including industry-leading EDR and XDR tools like SentinelOne®, enterprise-grade cyber risk management platforms like Coalition Control, and more. We augment our use of these tools with Coalition’s Active Data Graph, which brings real-world infosec, incident, and claims data to better inform how you can use these tools to help better protect your business from even the most sophisticated cyber attacks and their impact.
