By Frank Ohlhorst on January 12, 2021Leave a CommentManaged Detection and Response (MDR), a relative newcomer in the cybersecurity realm, is starting to have a noticeable impact on enterprises seeking to better secure their operations. Research giant Gartner notes that, “By 2025, 50% of organizations will be using MDR services for threat monitoring, detection and response functions that offer threat containment capabilities.”

One of the core concepts of MDR is providing access to experts that can take action to mitigate an attack. This is an important consideration, according to the Enterprise Strategy Group, which reports that 51% of survey respondents face a problematic shortage of skills in the area of cybersecurity.What’s more, MDR becomes a tool to secure the DevOps environment, as well as a tool for developers to make code more secure. It is critical to find advanced threats, ones that may have bypassed existing security controls, before those threats impact DevOps, yet people need to be made aware of those threats so they are not mistakenly included in the development pipeline,” said Martin.With so many players in the MDR space, choosing a provider that fits into a DevOps and enterprise strategy can be daunting.
