The most realistic stress test of any security solution, including managed detection and response (MDR), is to simulate live-fire hands-on-keyboard attacks on an organization's infrastructure, with defenders relying on offensive tactics to stop intrusion and breach attempts immediately.
Adversaries with years of experience honing and evolving their tradecraft are incredibly adept at executing attacks with the insight, skills and creativity needed to defeat advanced cybersecurity systems that often rely heavily on automation and artificial intelligence (AI). MDR adds the creativity, insights and intelligence security teams need to counter the adversary and protect their organization’s endpoints and infrastructure against attack.
