Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were looking for Managed Detection & Response solution for our customer as there was issues on clarity of threats , which can not be define Bad & Good by even best technology available in market. MDR services can be a cost effective way to access the necessary detection & response skills and resources without having to recruit, train and retain the internal talent.

Pros

Integration & Protection-Mandiant provide highest degree of integration with Endpoints, Networks ,email & Cloud and Identity solutions an organization already using
Strong Protection- Mandiant has best threat landscape technology which provide holistic view of security & Protection.

Cons

Due to split from FireEye Mandiant no longer can provide its own End Point Protection as part of MDR for customers that want to transition after incident is complete .
Single remediation response with no-ongoing monitoring

Return on Investment

Mandiant is strong on automated remediation & rollback
Predictable Pricing Rapid Response is sold as fixed days term license this takes way risk of hourly billing and runway costs

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Antivirus, while a good tool, doesn't rise to the level of use that EDR/XDR etc does.

Not only do you need to detect that problems exist, you need to kill them at the point-of-attack.

Endpoint detect-respond does this.

MDR also has a pool of 24x7 engineers reviewing telemetry of interest to action or inform against.

Pros

SOAR
Pool of engineers 24x7
Cost-effective for what it does

Cons

View on assets under mgmt
Low-cost integrations with platforms/apps not already present
Customize what default view is

Return on Investment

RAPID response against threats
Improved posture
Major addition to the suite of tooling (SIEM, DLP, AV, monitoring)

Alternatives Considered

VMware Carbon Black EDR and Trend Micro Managed XDR

Other Software Used

SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM), Qualys VMDR

Managed Defense provides our organization with 24/7 SOC capabilities for our small cybersecurity team by monitoring our FireEye/Trellix suite of products. In addition to alert monitoring, escalation, and response, they provide regular threat hunting and threat intelligence briefings.

Pros

Alert monitoring, escalation, and response
Threat hunting
Threat intelligence briefing

Cons

I cannot think of anything

Return on Investment

IT/SOC time saved by monitoring alerts
Improved time to remediation due to 24/7 eyes on glass
Hopefully less impact from security incidents due to early detection and containment
