Managed Detection and Response

Managed Detection and Response Reviews and Ratings

What is Managed Detection and Response?

Gartner defines managed detection and response (MDR) services as those that provide customers with remotely delivered security operations center (SOC) functions. These functions allow organizations to perform rapid detection, analysis, investigation and response through threat disruption and containment. They offer a turnkey experience, using a predefined technology stack that commonly covers endpoints, networks, logs and cloud. Telemetry is analyzed within a provider’s platform using a range of techniques. The MDR provider’s analyst team then performs threat hunting and incident management to deliver recommended actions to their clients.

MDR offers outcome-driven security incident management that is predicated on the detection, analysis and investigation of potentially impactful security events and the delivery of active threat disruption and containment actions to respond to and mitigate the impact of cyber breaches.

Features of Managed Detection and Response

Updated November 2025

Mandatory Features:

  • The availability of immediate remote mitigative response, investigation and containment activities (such as quarantining hosts), beyond alerting and notification, delivered and coordinated by service providers’ staff and preapproved by end users

  • 24/7 staffing that recognises customer-specific cyber-risk-based use cases, engages daily with individual customer data, and has skills and expertise in threat monitoring, detection and hunting, threat intelligence (TI) and remote response

  • A remotely delivered, provider-hosted and provider-operated shared technology stack that enables and coordinates real-time threat detection, investigation and active mitigating response. This technology stack can be developed by the MDR provider, or an integrated set of commercial technologies that use modern techniques (like APIs) to exchange data and instructions. This capability can also be achieved through a combination of both approaches
