Binary Defense Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

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.

Over time, the quality of service from Binary Defense declined significantly. The cost vs value that we are receiving isn't very good at all. Triage alerts are often missing information or context. There is very to little to no correlation. Alerting is not consistent and often changes with different analysts and shifts.

These solutions encompass Managed Detection and Response, Threat Hunting, Digital Risk Protection, Incident Response, Phishing Response, and Analysis on Demand. The company's foundation is rooted in addressing the dire need for improved monitoring and detection capabilities in organizations. Consequently, its proprietary Managed Detection, Deception, and Response platform, Binary Defense Vision, was developed. This platform integrates valuable attack intelligence with substantial threat intelligence, offering an effective consolidation of technologies aimed at predicting, preventing, detecting, deceiving, and responding to cyber-attacks. Thus, Binary Defense is dedicated to modifying the strategies used in the cybersecurity industry to ensure comprehensive protection for organizations against all types of threats.

Founded in 2014 by the industry‚Äôs top cybersecurity experts, Binary Defense is on a mission to change the security industry for the better and help organizations defend against threats of all kinds.

We believe that the best defense against cyber threats uses a human-driven, technology-assisted approach. We protect businesses of all sizes through our advanced cybersecurity solutions including Managed Detection and Response, Threat Hunting, Digital Risk Protection, Incident Response, Phishing Response, and Analysis on Demand.

Binary Defense was spawned from the need for better monitoring and detection capabilities in companies. The founder of Binary Defense, David Kennedy, also founded TrustedSec which specializes in information security services including penetration testing.  The cutting edge, white hat hackers noticed almost every organization with monitoring capabilities really struggled, especially when using an MSSP. Countless attacks went undetected, and breaches were missed which left companies wondering what to do. 

As a result, Binary Defense was first put into motion in July of 2012 with the development of our Managed Detection, Deception and Response software (Binary Defense Vision) based on profiling how attackers think. A number of years of development, marrying up attack intelligence with our extensive threat intelligence, has made our product the best consolidation of technologies in the industry to predict, prevent, detect, deceive and respond to attacks.
