NEW YORK, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte has been positioned as a Leader in the first-ever IDC MarketScape: Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services Worldwide 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc #US49006922, April 2024). Notably, Deloitte is one of six companies in the Leaders Category. A total of 19 vendors were evaluated in the assessment.
"As emerging technologies become more advanced and integrated throughout business operations, it's essential for leaders to prioritize their MDR framework to help ensure they are prepared to swiftly address threats and protect their flow of work and their stakeholders," says Emily Mossburg, Cyber Leader, Deloitte Global. "This is why we're proud to be recognized as a Leader in this pivotal area of cybersecurity, and why we're excited about the future."
IDC MarketScape defines the MDR services market as a subset of managed security services (MSS), that combines the tools, technologies, procedures, and methodologies used to provide full cybersecurity detection and response capabilities for an organization. Service providers can deploy MDR services using a mixture of customers' existing capabilities and vendor-supplied tools or services and private intellectual property. MDR services are typically supplied by a provider's well-trained cybersecurity staff that works in one or more 24 x 7 x 365 remote SOCs.
"At Deloitte, we understand that clients are looking to improve the security efficacy of their cyber operations while reducing complexity and technical debt as the sophistication and destructiveness of cyber-attacks continue to rise," says Chris Richter, Detect and Respond Product Leader, Deloitte Global. "Our Detect and Respond team is committed to supporting clients globally in their cyber journeys, combining our proven platforms with efficient and flexible delivery models across traditional MSS and managed XDR (MXDR) services."
IDC MarketScape notes, "Deloitte maintains three global delivery centers, augmented by a network of in-region delivery centers, each using standard methodologies and processes for 24 x 7 x 365 delivery of cyber services and SaaS-based modular platform solutions such as MXDR by Deloitte. It also has over 30 cyber client experience centers that can enable applicable contextualization of services, development of new solutions, connected device testing, threat intelligence collection and processing, and delivery of client labs and simulations."
This positioning comes as Deloitte recently unveiled CyberSphere™, which helps clients simplify their cyber programs to improve their efficiency and efficacy, demonstrating the firm's commitment to bolstering cyber experiences for all clients.
Additional report findings
- "Deloitte takes the approach of identifying their clients' assets and available telemetry sources, including identity, endpoints, cloud, network, applications, and operational technology (OT)/industrial control systems (ICS). Their MXDR platform utilizes a leading modular approach that can be aligned to the needs of their client to provide edge to cloud AI analytics, response, and threat hunting."
- "Customers that desire to be more hands-on and co-manage selected portions of the response processes will appreciate the flexibility of how their MDR/MXDR service is managed."
- "Deloitte can provide local specialists who are familiar with both global and regional industry and regulatory compliance requirements, such as GDPR, FedRamp, and other directives."
- "Deloitte is well positioned for organizations that are burdened by technical debt that still need to elevate their cybersecurity posture. Its ability to use a client's existing technical infrastructure with an end state goal of moving them on to its best-of-breed MXDR platform is a valid path forward for many security leaders."
