MDR (R)evolution: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

About the Event

Join this webinar, chaired by the UCISA Security Group and presented by Jan Berver. Jan will guide us through the evolution of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) into a comprehensive suite of easily accessible services that are increasingly replacing traditional managed SOC offerings in the education sector. The emergence of XDR technology platforms has further enhanced this approach, providing a proven, cost-effective MDR-XDR blend that stands as one of the most powerful tools in fighting digital crime. However, it's important to note that not all MDR services and XDR solutions are created equal, and there are limited standards for evaluating them.

During this session, we'll explore the latest developments and capabilities of the MDR-XDR combination, specifically designed to tackle emerging risks, diverse technological environments, and the unique processes of various institutions. Additionally, we'll delve into common requirements gathered from extensive market experience and evaluate how effectively the MDR-XDR combination addresses these needs, highlighting areas where it may excel or occasionally fall short.
