Over 76% of breach attempts take place outside of office hours. In addition, the increasing use of AI, has meant that attacks are more sophisticated. Businesses of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises, face a growing number of cyberattacks that threaten sensitive data, operational continuity, and even repetitional integrity. Despite increasing awareness, many businesses remain unprepared for these attacks that can cripple their operations within minutes. This is where Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services come into play, providing a critical line of defence against ever-changing cyber threats.
In recent years, there has been a significant surge in cybercrime, with ransomware, phishing attacks, and data breaches becoming commonplace. Criminals are no longer just targeting large corporations; small and medium sized businesses are increasingly in the crosshairs due to their often-limited security measures. According to industry reports, cybercrime is expected to cost the global economy trillions of pounds annually, making cybersecurity investment an absolute necessity.
What is Managed Detection and Response (MDR)?
ESET MDR (Managed Detection and Response) is a 24x7x365 human/AI service that bolsters an organisation’s defences and helps prevent breaches and ransomware attacks significantly more quickly than in-house cybersecurity measures. It identifies malicious activities, creates incident reports and stops the escalation of attacks, blocking unauthorised access to the customer’s environment. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and expert-led detection and response, ESET MDR ensures businesses remain better protected even when they’re not there.
Cloud Central, in partnership with ESET, offers industry leading MDR services tailored to businesses of all sizes.
