MDR Intelligence Hub

Resources on Managed Detection & Response — what effective MDR looks like, how providers differ, and what the detection layer needs to cover to be effective against modern attack techniques.

What This Hub Covers

MDR (Managed Detection & Response) is one of the fastest-growing security service categories — and one of the most inconsistently defined. Some providers call it MDR when they're really doing monitoring with email alerts. Others offer full threat hunting, forensics, and hands-on containment under the same label.

This hub is for security leaders, IT managers, and business owners trying to make sense of what MDR actually includes, what questions to ask providers, and how to evaluate whether detection coverage is actually keeping pace with attack techniques.

We also write here about the detection capabilities organizations commonly overlook — identity-based attacks, cloud workload threats, and post-exploitation techniques that bypass endpoint-only monitoring. Good MDR covers all of it.
