eSentire Recognized in Gartner’s Managed Detection and Response Services Market Guide

▤ Summary

“The shift to detection and response approaches spans people, process and technology elements and will drive a majority of security market growth over the next five years,” said Sid Deshpande, principal research analyst at Gartner.However, Gartner also states that, “The difference between MSSPs and leading MDR providers is expected to continue to favor MDR-specific players for at least another five years, or perhaps longer.” Bridging the Midmarket Gap with MDR The sense of urgency, driven by rising industry risk and increasing regulatory requirements, have underscored the gap facing many midmarket organizations working with limited in-house cybersecurity resources and budgets.To that end, eSentire witnessed a steep increase in the number of threats processed through its Security Operations Centers (SOCs), located in Canada and Europe, with rudimentary attacks – such as intrusion attempts, information gathering, and policy violations – posing the greatest risk to midsized organizations.“Midmarket organizations are the target of choice for cyber-attackers looking for easy prey, and managed detection and response – delivered by our elite security analysts – is the last line of defense when it comes to guarding against cyber threats,” said J.Paul Haynes, eSentire CEO.To that end, eSentire witnessed a steep increase in the number of threats processed through its Security Operations Centers (SOCs), located in Canada and Europe, with rudimentary attacks – such as intrusion attempts, information gathering, and policy violations – posing the greatest risk to midsized organizations.According to its recent 2016 Midmarket Threat Summary Report, eSentire found that cybercriminals are moving away from sophisticated malicious code attacks, with the majority of attackers preferring inexpensive and automated methods of intrusions, exploiting ‘low hanging fruit’ (representing almost 30% of all observed events).“Midmarket organizations are the target of choice for cyber-attackers looking for easy prey, and managed detection and response – delivered by our elite security analysts – is the last line of defense when it comes to guarding against cyber threats,” said J.Paul Haynes, eSentire CEO.
