Advantages of MDR services and the XDR platform for cyber security
In the current digital world, with the use of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platforms to enhance their cybersecurity, organizations are increasingly relying on Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. These services offer a multitude of benefits that are particularly valuable for companies without sufficient internal capacities for security management. MDR services provide organizations with top-tier protection without the need for extensive investments in human and expert resources. Security experts from the solution provider manage the latest technologies, which significantly shortens the time needed to respond to a security incident and increases the level of expertise available to the organization. Utilizing MDR services can also reduce the stress associated with recruiting and maintaining qualified personnel.
ESET, as a provider of these services, brings unique knowledge gained from its own research and global presence, enabling effective identification and response to the most sophisticated threats and zero-day attacks. Therefore, these services are an efficient solution for organizations wishing to enhance their cybersecurity without the need to expand their internal staff.
Cyberattacks are increasing and companies are struggling with regulations, rising costs, and a shortage of people. Modern threats like ransomware are evolving, and attackers today often steal data first and only then encrypt. The key is visibility and a rapid response—this is where XDR and managed security services come into play. The spectrum of attacks ranges from simple social engineering to sophisticated, including state‑sponsored, operations. Regulations are tightening and as many as 66 % of respondents expect an associated increase in costs. The shortage of IT specialists is long‑standing: roughly 49 % of organizations admit that their infrastructure contains “not entirely kosher” deployments they know about but lack the capacity to address. This is also why about 51 % of companies increased security investments between 2016 and 2023.Attacks are on the rise, capacity is scarce
