What is Kaspersky MDR?
The core purpose of the MDR service is to detect threats at every stage of a cyberattack, both prior to compromise as well as after malicious actors have penetrated the corporate infrastructure.
Kaspersky MDR gives your clients all the major benefits of having your own SOC without having to establish one. By leveraging telemetry and advanced machine learning technologies, Kaspersky MDR delivers managed 24/7 detection, prioritisation, investigation and response service. It identifies potential threats and promptly transfers relevant information to Kaspersky’s expert cybersecurity team.
Why Do Businesses Need MDR?
In today’s cyber landscape, threats are more sophisticated than ever. Crafted by AI-driven attackers, personalized phishing campaigns and ransomware attacks abound. While traditional security tools catch most threats, a single click can still spell disaster. MDR steps in to augment internal security teams, providing real-time threat monitoring, detection, and investigation. It ensures that organizations stay resilient against evolving threats.
Why MDR is Relevant for Managed Service Providers (MSPs)?
MDR services are one of the fastest growing cybersecurity markets. This is a massive revenue opportunity for MSPs.
Managed Service Providers play a pivotal role in safeguarding their clients’ digital assets. MDR enhances their capabilities by offering:
- Continuous Vigilance: MDR services monitor endpoints, networks, identities, and cloud environments 24/7. This proactive approach ensures timely threat detection and response.
- Expertise and Scalability: MSPs can tap into Kaspersky’s seasoned analysts, benefiting from their threat intelligence and experience. This scalability allows MSPs to focus on critical tasks without compromising security.
- Cost-Effective Security: MDR provides the advantages of a Security Operations Center (SOC) without the associated costs. MSPs can manage complex incidents efficiently, minimizing overheads.
How Can Service Providers Benefit from MDR?
Adding MDR to your service portfolio will help you solve your customers’ security shortfalls while nurturing lasting relationships with them. Service providers reap several advantages:
- Enhanced Security Posture: MDR continuously monitors the IT environment, reducing breach risks.
- Swift Incident Response: Real-time detection minimizes containment and remediation time.
- Customization Within Standards: While MDR services don’t offer extensive customization, successful providers tailor threat models to specific clients, ensuring effective detection and response.
How Kaspersky MDR Works
Kaspersky MDR is powered by Kaspersky SOC technology and expertise. It combines advanced security technologies, threat intelligence, and skilled analysts.
Endpoint security systems installed on the customer’s premises capture and forward telemetry data. This is then analysed by machine learning tools, with the direct involvement of Kaspersky.
SOC’s attack detection experts. SOC analysts investigate alerts and notify the customer about the malicious activity, providing tool-based response and advice. The ‘follow-the-sun’ approach ensures round-the-clock vigilance, safeguarding critical assets.
Solving Customer Challenges with MDR
MDR addresses common challenges faced by organisations:
