Organizations are becoming more aware of the need for MDR (managed detection and response) services to achieve real cyber resiliency. The increase in the quantity and sophistication of cyberattacks means that other, siloed solutions, fall short of fully protecting your organization. Whereas no one can guarantee that you won’t fall victim to a cyberattack, the use of MDR significantly decreases that risk and its overall impact. Implementing MDR also gives you the greatest chance of effectively and rapidly recovering from […]

According to G2, virtually all companies use at least one public or private cloud, and 85% of organizations will be “cloud first” by 2025.
