BRATISLAVA – August 2, 2024 — ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, is proud to announce its recognition as a representative MDR vendor in the latest Gartner report titled "Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response." This acknowledgment underscores ESET's commitment to delivering industry-leading cybersecurity services and highlights its role as a key player in the MDR landscape.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services are crucial in today’s cybersecurity landscape. The Gartner report highlights the importance of MDR services in providing turnkey threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) capabilities. It emphasises the need for “remotely delivered, human-led, turnkey, modern SOC functions, ultimately delivering threat disruption and containment. Security and risk management leaders should use this research to identify MDR services that meet their business-driven risk requirements.” [Source: Gartner: Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response.

ESET’s MDR services offer top-tier cybersecurity protection, providing access to leading experts without needing internal staff, enhancing and simplifying security workflows by adding functionalities such as the ESET AI Advisor, which contextualises detections and helps both novice and mature admins more easily protect their environments. Furthermore, the company’s core AI-powered MDR identifies threats early, ensuring high detection rates and minimal false positives. Operating 24/7/365, the services guarantee continuous monitoring and swift incident response even in hybrid work settings, leading to a competitive response time of as little as 20 minutes. With its offering, ESET helps organisations achieve essential cyber controls for insurability and regulatory compliance, reducing legal risks and penalties.
"With our MDR portfolio, we offer something that can answer the needs of businesses of all sizes. The stakes have never been higher, which is recognised by regulators and cyber insurance providers as well. If a business is really trying to be serious about its security posture, tackling threats while staying compliant, ESET MDR is what can give it that competitive edge. Therefore, we are honored to be recognised by Gartner as a representative MDR vendor, signaling the high quality of our service," said Jakub Debski, Chief Product Officer at ESET. "
MDR services should help businesses reduce their time to respond to threats, as well as help detail their current exposure to them. The right MDR service is speedier than in-house SOC efforts, and much more comprehensive and flexible than generalist business IT administration, hence, to answer both these challenges collectively, ESET offers its MDR services in two subscription tiers to cater to different business needs. For small and medium-sized businesses, ESET PROTECT MDR offers robust security features and expert support, ensuring top-tier protection without unnecessary complexities. For enterprises, ESET PROTECT MDR Ultimate provides enhanced security capabilities, proactive threat detection, and comprehensive response services, ensuring optimal protection and regulatory compliance.
Security and risk management leaders are encouraged to “use MDR services to obtain 24/7, remotely delivered, human-driven security operations capabilities when there are no existing internal capabilities” and ensure an outcome-driven response.
