Webcast Replay: Providing 24/7 Visibility and Pervasive Coverage with MDR

The second tenet of Alert Logic’s Managed Detection and Response Manifesto states that any MDR solution needs to provide 24/7 visibility and cover all assets in an organization. INAP’s Jennifer Curry, SVP, Product & Technology, joined Alert Logic’s Jack Danahy, SVP and Chief Evangelist and Bloor Research’s Fran Howarth, Practice Leader, Security, for a discussion related to this vital aspect of cybersecurity.

In the recording below, the panel addresses what defines MDR, why it’s evolving as a form of protection and what you should expect from your MDR provider under the lens of monitoring visibility, transparency and 24/7 vigilance.

Curry spoke about the importance of visibility and what customers are looking for in terms of transparency in managed services. “Visibility is  so critical to everything we do. [They] understand that we’re going to take care of routine tasks, managing security alerts and patching,” she said. “More and more, though, they want to know, ‘How am I going to see this? How am I going to see what you’re doing? I don’t want to lose visibility even though I may be handing over control.’”

She further highlighted the provider’s role in MDR. “Our job, as a provider and as a partner, is to discuss how a solution will cover you today and 10 years from now in your journey, in your hybridization of your environment and your digital transformation,” Curry said.
