In today’s digital age, where cyber threats are a constant concern for companies of all sizes and sectors, information security has become an absolute priority.
With threats constantly on the rise and increasingly sophisticated, it is crucial to opt for effective solutions and a proactive approach to keep the organization safe, secure and compliant.

It’s not just a solution that detects threats. MDR goes further, offering a fast and effective response to security incidents in real time.
What is MDR?
MDR is a 24/7 managed cyber security service made up of a team of experts who monitor endpoints, networks, cloud environments, other external equipment (such as disks and USB devices), as well as detecting and responding to threats effectively.
This team combines experience, processes and technologies to reduce risks, stop attacks and improve the effectiveness of the organization’s security.

Why use these services?
Even if an organization has the necessary resources and will to create a security team that can deal with all security problems, the time to create a robust and mature threat detection and response program is very long. In that time, the business remains vulnerable.
