Since the introduction of Covid, the employment market has struggled to find skilful IT workers, remote work has become the new norm, and cyber-attacks have been increasing worldwide. More small and medium-sized businesses are looking to move towards MSPs to offload some of their workloads to reduce the IT admin work to focus on revenue growth. Many vendors recognise this trend, leading to more competition. What better way to whet your competitive edge than to offer security services that SMB desperately need with Malwarebytes MDR?
What is Malwarebytes MDR?
MDR is a service that provides 24x7x365 days around-the-clock monitoring of an organisation’s environment designed to save an organisation time and money and address the IT skill gap currently seen in the market. It’s like having a moving security camera watching an intruder’s every move that never runs out of battery. Companies can be proactive rather than reactive and catch malware at the beginning stages. Gartner reports that by 2025, 50% of organisations will use MDR services for threat monitoring, detection, and response functions that offer threat containment capabilities.
3 Reasons to Choose Malwarebytes MDR
1/. Minimise Dwell time
Dwell time is the time that elapses between malware or attackers infiltrating a system and when they are detected and removed. The longer the dwell time, the more time an attacker has to elevate their privileges and move deeper into the network to attain higher-value assets. Malwarebytes MDR uses threat hunting which uses both a research-based and active hunting approach where a security analyst constantly reviews your organisation’s environment for suspicious activity. It continually looks or hunts for known attackers or malicious behaviours listed in threat intelligence services. The result stops the attacker before they exfiltrate data or deploy any ransomware. The fewer threats the product lets through, the more an organisation will gain trust and attract more business than the competitors.
2/. Partners with the Vendor
Malwarebytes MDR utilises the Vendor’s top security analyst to monitor an organisation’s system 24/7, 365 days. Security analysts are experts with years of knowledge and expertise with the product to look after your business environment. It’s like getting a fully trained free staff to monitor your network without hiring anyone or training them, resulting in a massive cost saving. A key advantage of partnering with the Vendor allows organisations for a fast time-to-market. Your organisation can immediately address market demand and enable you to offer a service with top-tier professionals using only the best security tool.
3/. Overcome Alert Fatigue
With businesses protecting hundreds and thousands of endpoints daily, there would be an ever-growing number of alerts demanding your attention, value, and time. MSP security analysts end up being overworked and exhausted, resulting in them needing help to correctly identify and triage alerts to prevent malware infections and disallow the spread of damage. An accidental mistake could lead to thousands of dollars of revenue loss from downtime and data loss from malware in organisations. So why not have the Vendors do the heavy lifting for you? The Vendor security analyst will receive these alerts and only notify you with the necessary alerts to remediate these critical threats.
