Alert Logic–First SaaS-enabled managed detection and response (MDR) provider, delivering unrivaled security value

The Silicon Review

As organizations expand their IT infrastructure, they deploy an increasing number of network endpoints such as laptops, desktops, and mobile devices. They may also develop a hybridized cloud environment where they deploy a suite of applications that support business functions. While each of these deployments helps expand and solidify the organization's IT infrastructure, each presents potential security vulnerability and a possible entry point for cyber-attacks. Managed Detection and Response (MDR), sometimes abbreviated MDR, is an outsourced security service that helps organizations detect malicious network activity (network intrusions, malware attacks, attempted data theft, etc.) and quickly respond to eliminate the threat.

MDR service providers facilitate threat detection by deploying their tools and technologies onto the customer organization's IT infrastructure, then managing and monitoring those tools. Although Managed Detection and Response depends on the use of software tools to assist in aggregating event logs and detecting potential Indicators of Compromise (IoC), service providers typically employ security analysts around the clock to provide 24/7 live monitoring of your network security posture. The combination of computerized and human monitoring provides excellent coverage and detection of security threats in real-time.

Alert Logic is the first-ever SaaS-enabled managed detection and response (MDR) provider. Since no investment level prevents or blocks 100% of attacks, you need to continuously identify and address breaches or gaps before they cause real damage. With a limited budget and expertise, this level of security can seem out of reach. The company's purpose-built technology and a team of MDR security experts protect your organization and empower you to resolve whatever threats may come.
