Unit 42 Managed Detection and Response

Stop attacks 24/7 with continuous monitoring, proactive threat hunting, alert triage, investigation and response services from Unit 42™ MDR experts and our certified partners

WHY IT MATTERS

Security teams are challenged to keep up with the evolving threat landscape while also trying to be proactive.

  • The attack surface is expanding and threats are becoming more sophisticated.

    Complex investigations can delay response and result in increased attacker dwell times or missed attacks.

  • Security teams need help managing an endless backlog of alerts.

    Constant firefighting and reacting to competing priorities leaves little time for strategic initiatives or to hunt for new threats.

  • Organizations can’t hire and retain the seasoned analysts and threat hunters they need.

    This is exacerbated by a proliferation of security tools that are increasing complexity.
