“It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.” So read the first lines of dialogue in the 1986 Nintendo classic The Legend of Zelda when your character, a young adventurer, is bequeathed a sword to fend off the forces of evil he will face on his impending quest. It’s a reference that may not be as familiar to you as it is to me, but the sentiment should still hold true as we begin our partnership: You are no longer alone… Is Managed Detection and Response (or MDR) something that’s been on your radar? And if not specifically by name (after all, we love our acronyms in security), have you ever had a discussion about the potential of using a partner to support your security program? In this session we will explore Managed Services as a concept, explore its beginnings, and differentiate between the options offered by the industry.
