What is Managed Detection and Response and Why is it Vital to Your Business?
- $200,000 is the average cost of a data breach for companies of all sizes

- Ransomware threat actors target SMBs 82% more than any other businesses
- Limit your exposure on your end points and cloud environment
What is Managed Detection and Response?
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a framework of AI, data security and human interaction designed to be the ultimate security for your computers. These systems work together to provide real time threat detection and stops the spread of ransomware at its earliest stages.
That’s the elevator pitch.
But you are asking, why is it important to my business?
MDR provides a layer of protection that threat actors (bad guys) cannot escape. The AI gets loaded on a computer. It then watches what programs are running and what process are being used on a typical day-to-day basis. If the AI notices an unknown program or process running (that matches the ransomware profile) the AI will do one of two things.
One, it can immediately shut the computer down. This stops the spread of ransomware in its tracks since the threat actors no longer have access to the computer or network. The AI then sends an alert to the SOC, letting the security technicians know there has been a breach. The SOC team will reach out to the client’s technical contact, alerting them to the breach.
Or two, the AI can send an alert to the SOC, letting the security technicians know there has been a breach. The SOC team can remote into the computer and start remediating the threat, preventing the spread of the bad guys on the network.
Why is Managed Detection and Response Vital?
So MDR, uses AI and human intervention to stop ransomware attacks. This is a huge advantage for you, it gives you leverage against attacks on your data. However, there is one other, very important thing that MDR can do for your business.
If you are looking for or are renewing your cyber insurance, you will have to complete the underwriting process. This process has become extremely stringent lately and one wrong answer can cost thousands on your policy. Why is that?
Over the past several years, insurance companies have had to pay out vast sums of money to cover polices that were written before ransomware was a huge problem. Insurance companies like money; they like to keep it. Writing policies cyber insurance policies had to change.
In response to the payouts, the insurance companies decided to hire security professionals to help them create more a more rigorous underwriting process. This process now requires a technical professional to fill out a 10–20-page underwriting document that details the security systems that are in place. One of the common requirements the insurance underwriters are looking for is MDR.
Depending on your line of business, insurance companies may require you to have MDR in order to qualify for a policy. In other cases, if you don’t have MDR, your premiums could be considerably higher.
