MDR service providers are introducing advanced MDR services integrated with machine learning and artificial intelligence for different security types to identify the anomalies in the organizations’ network.

Endpoint Security

Endpoint security is the security provided on network devices, such as servers, desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, barcode readers, and Point of Sale (POS), which are connected to a client server. Network devices are nothing but the endpoints. These network devices are connected remotely which creates an entry point for potential cyber threats. Endpoint security solutions include antivirus, antispyware/malware, encryption personal firewall, IDS/IPS, patch and configuration management, behavioral blocking software, and virtualization security. These solutions provide continuous real-time threat detection, prevention, and response to the network devices (endpoints). Rapid growth in the number of mobile devices across the globe is one of the driving factors for this market. Due to the increasing number of mobile devices, networks are getting more vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

Network Security

Network security is needed by organizations to protect their networking infrastructure from numerous threats, such as SQL injection, DDoS attacks, and XSS. Network security involves safeguarding the computer network and network-accessible resources of an enterprise. Network security products and services are used to detect and prevent cyber threats. They include multiple components, such as network monitoring and security software, hardware, and appliances, which work together as layers of comprehensive network security. MDR services deliver advanced threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities to secure the network environment. MDR network services use network sensors to keep track of network communications. Due to the increasing trend of BYOD adoption at the workplace, data access through remote devices, which is not limited to data centers, creates the possibility of data vulnerability.

Application Security

Application security involves software and hardware countermeasures to protect mobile and web applications as well as confidential information from security attacks. It works with a set of security policies applied at 3 layers: the network layer, host layer, and application layer. Application security ensures the confidentiality and integrity of the data transferred between mobile applications. MDR application security services provide countermeasures to secure applications from glitches and external threats, such as DDoS, web attacks, frauds, and site scraping.

Cloud Security

Cloud security includes security product and services that protect the data stored online. Cloud security essentially safeguards organizations’ critical assets from threats, such as data loss, data breaches, service traffic hijacking, account hijacking, insecure APIs, and DDoS. In cloud security, service providers follow regulatory requirements for storing sensitive customer data, such as credit card numbers and personal data. Cloud adoption across various industry vertical is increasing due to the cost-effectiveness and scalability of cloud solutions.
