From our perspective, in its 2024 Market Guide for Manage Detection and Response (MDR), Gartner^® noted the trend around MDRs expanding their offering into other service areas, and we think this can especially be seen around preventative capabilities. With cybersecurity breaches on the rise and the continuing skills shortage across the industry, we believe it is more important than ever for organizations to partner with a trusted security service provider.

In this report, you’ll learn how Gartner defines Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and better understand the key requirements and service areas that MDRs should provide to help secure organizations. Gartner estimates that more than 600 providers in this market claim to offer MDR services. Gartner also mentions that vendors included in this Market Guide are consistently visible to Gartner clients (based on inquiries), are variable in size and distribution as to reflect the buying population and have a clear end-user and outcome-focused offering distinct from pure technology-driven offerings.

Of note, Bitdefender is proud to be named a Representative Vendor in this report for the third consecutive time.

We believe this report can help you learn:

How to determine whether a solution is truly MDR – and not just another managed technology service identifying as MDR.
How MDR solutions can support specific risk-focused requirements and deliver outcomes that your internal teams can act upon.
The continuing trend of MDR’s expansion into other security operations functions, such as exposure management, and why it matters.
How MDR capabilities enable you to use co-management for custom functions, like threat hunting or compliance reporting.
