Summary
- Your managed detection and response (MDR) provider flags suspicious activity, and your analyst spends the next hour finding the account, checking logs, and deciding whether anything needs to happen. By the time the investigation is underway, the alert feels less like help and more like a task assignment. MDR should bring your team capacity and expertise when it needs them.
