Verizon Managed Detection and Response (MDR) combines people, process and technology to identify and contain advanced cyber attacks, offering 24x7 protection in a rapidly deployed and completely cloud-managed model.

MDR leverages advanced technologies combined with human expertise to collect and maintain actionable intelligence, identify and alert on major security incidents, and then quickly respond to those that are a potential problem for the organization.

Essential components of MDR include security information and event management (SIEM) technologies, threat intelligence, user and entity behavioral analytics (UEBA), and threat hunting capabilities. Endpoint detection and response (EDR), network detection and response (NDR), and deception technologies can be added to the core offering via integration.

Applicable for enterprise and mid-sized businesses, MDR ingests and analyzes data from an expanded set of telemetry points and leverages Verizon analysts to help customers focus on the threats that matter most, reduce time from detection to response, and to compensate for a lack of in-house resources and qualified security personnel.
