The managed cybersecurity services market is undergoing a significant shift. Organizations are upgrading from Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and legacy security tools that aggregate alerts to action-oriented Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services.
Although detection remains a core capability, the expanded multi-pronged value proposition adds automated response capabilities and access to seasoned cybersecurity professionals, both of which enable organizations to address talent shortages and budget constraints.
Osterman Research explores why organizations early to embrace MDR services report higher security posture across multiple dimensions, and those organizations that have not yet upgraded from MSSPs evidence an overwhelming and urgent intent to do so.
Osterman expects to see this market change dramatically in the next several years, as an increasing proportion of organizations embrace MDR services to achieve the promise of elevated security posture by gaining better security capabilities, reducing the noise of low-quality threats, and having the ability to address an increasing share of increasingly pernicious security threats.
