Some in the industry refer to SIEM or Security Incident Event Monitoring. A lot of people will also talk about MDR, which is Managed Detection and Response. Sometimes, they’re interchangeable. Often, they’re not. Some MDR companies get offended when you call them a SIEM and vice versa.
What Is Managed Detection and Response?
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is active technology inside of your environment. It typically sits on your network and your systems and can alert your Security Operation Center—or your SOC, whether that’s an internal SOC or an outsourced SOC—in real time to anomalous activity or threats that are taking place on your network.
Some people might confuse that with antivirus detection or something like that, or even your firewall. It really isn’t. It’s connected to those tools, and it’s actually pulling the data from those tools, and it’s correlating that data to find real-time threats faster than those individual systems can find them on their own.
