A Benchmarking System to Spark Companies to Action - Innovation That Fuels New Deal Flow and Growth Pipelines

The global Managed Detection and Response market is fragmented, highly competitive, and one of the most innovative in the cybersecurity industry. Frost & Sullivan selected and plotted the top 15 out of over 70 market participants in this Frost Radar™ analysis.

In broad strokes, the MDR market is made up of two groups of vendors. The first group is formed by vendors that have a long history with EDR, NDR, MSS, or MDR itself, and are currently focused on MDR, or managed XDR. Some of the players in this group are Alert Logic, WithSecure (formerly known as F-Secure), Secureworks, among others. MDR-focused vendors rely on forming deep, long-term partnerships with customers, integrating with their security stack, and providing a highly customized offering. They are ideal partners for organizations on their cloud journey, looking to enhance their maturity and their own security team's expertise.

The second group is made up of large vendors that offer MDR services as part of their extensive portfolios. These vendors are ideal for global companies (or companies based outside of North America and Europe), as they have the infrastructure to deliver their services through global SOCs. The breadth of their portfolios means that they can usually also act as one-stop-security-shops for customers looking to get best-of-breed solutions or widen their protection. Players that are part of the group are professional services firms, MSSPs, or established multi-product vendors. The list includes AT&T, Booz Allen Hamilton, Orange Cyberdefense, Telefónica Tech, Verizon, and others.
