Managed security service providers (MSSPs) and managed detection and response (MDR) providers are two distinct types of cybersecurity service providers.

MSSPs primarily focus on managing security infrastructure and tools to prevent security breaches, while MDR providers concentrate on identifying and responding to threats. MDR providers offer a comprehensive cybersecurity approach that includes incident response and proactive threat hunting.

Organizations must comprehend the fundamental differences between MDR and MSSP services. This enables them to determine what best suits their unique cybersecurity needs and capabilities. The choice depends on several factors, including threats, available internal resources and expertise, and the organization's specific cybersecurity objectives.

## Why Organizations Need MDR/MSSP

Each organization's decision between MDR and MSSP will depend on its needs, resources, and cybersecurity goals. While MDR offers a more active and comprehensive approach, MSSP can suit organizations looking for reliable monitoring and alerting services.

Companies need managed detection and response (MDR) or managed security service providers (MSSP) for several key reasons:

1. Expertise and Specialized Knowledge: Cybersecurity is a complex and ever-changing field. Most companies, especially small to medium-sized enterprises, may need more in-house expertise to monitor and respond to cyberthreats effectively. MDR and MSSP services provide access to specialized knowledge and skills for identifying and mitigating cyber risks.
2. Continuous Monitoring and Response: With MDR, companies benefit from 24/7 monitoring and rapid response to threats. This continuous vigilance is essential in today's digital landscape, where threats can occur at any time and evolve rapidly.
3. Resource Optimization: Managing cybersecurity in-house can be resource-intensive. By outsourcing to an MDR or MSSP, companies can focus their internal resources on core business activities while ensuring robust cyber defense. This is a cost-effective solution for many businesses that need a full-time, dedicated cybersecurity team.
4. Advanced Technologies and Methodologies: MDR providers typically use advanced technologies like AI, machine learning, and sophisticated [threat intelligence platforms](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex/cortex-xsiam?ts=markdown). These technologies enable more effective detection and response to sophisticated threats, which might otherwise bypass traditional security measures.
5. Compliance and Regulatory Requirements: Many industries have stringent data protection and cybersecurity requirements. MDR and MSSP services can help companies meet these requirements, avoiding potential legal and financial penalties.
6. Reducing the Impact of Cyberattacks: In the event of a security breach, the speed and effectiveness of the response can significantly reduce the impact. MDR services, in particular, are designed to contain and remediate threats, minimizing damage and downtime quickly.
7. Scalability and Flexibility: As businesses grow, their cybersecurity needs also change. MSSPs can provide scalable services that grow with the company, offering flexibility in terms of the level of service and type of protection needed.
8. Proactive Threat Hunting: MDR services often include [proactive threat hunting](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/unit42/respond/managed-threat-hunting?ts=markdown), where experts actively look for potential threats and vulnerabilities within the system rather than just reacting to alerts. This proactive stance can prevent incidents before they occur.
9. Insight and Reporting: MDR and MSSP provide valuable insights into a company's security posture. They offer detailed reporting on incidents, threats, and overall network health, crucial for strategic planning and continuous improvement of cybersecurity measures.
10. Risk Management: Ultimately, MDR and MSSP help companies manage their cybersecurity risks more effectively. They provide a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and responding to cyberthreats critical for maintaining business data integrity, availability, and confidentiality.

The choice between MDR providers and MSSPs is not one-size-fits-all. Organizations must carefully evaluate their specific cybersecurity requirements, available resources, and long-term security objectives to determine the most suitable option. MDR typically provides a more proactive and holistic security approach, making it ideal for companies seeking comprehensive threat management. Alternatively, MSSP services may better suit businesses interested in dependable security monitoring and alert systems.

## Exploring Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

MDR, or managed detection and response, is a comprehensive security service designed to identify and mitigate cyberthreats proactively. It's an all-encompassing solution that blends advanced technology with the expertise of seasoned professionals.

Unlike traditional security approaches, MDR isn't just about alerting you to potential threats; it's about diving deep into these alerts, understanding the context, and responding effectively. This approach significantly reduces the "dwell time" of threats within a network, thereby minimizing the chances of data compromise or theft.

A key characteristic of MDR is its blend of technology and human insight. While AI and machine learning play a significant role in identifying threats, human analysts interpret these alerts, distinguishing between false positives and genuine threats. This dual approach ensures that while you're alerted to potential issues, you also understand what these alerts mean in your overall cybersecurity landscape.

## Exploring Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP)

Managed security services (MSPs) are typically offered through a subscription-based model and include ongoing monitoring, network and information security management, and support for an organization's security infrastructure. MSSP stands for managed security service provider, a third party providing outsourced monitoring and management of security devices and systems.

MSSPs usually provide 24/7 monitoring and management of intrusion detection systems and firewalls, handle patch management and upgrades, and conduct security assessments and audits. While they offer essential security services, MSSPs often focus on alerting rather than active response. They identify and report anomalies, but the client's IT team is responsible for investigating and resolving them.

MSSPs can be a great choice for organizations developing their IT capabilities and they may not have the resources to invest in a full-fledged cybersecurity team. By outsourcing security to an MSSP, internal teams can concentrate on other critical areas like customer service or business transformation initiatives.

## Key Differences Between MDR vs MSSP

The evolution of the cybersecurity landscape has somewhat blurred the lines between these two services. However, the core differences remain, with MDR providing a more comprehensive and active approach to threat management compared to the largely preventative and reactive nature of MSSPs.

## Assessing Your Needs: MDR or MSSP?

When deciding between MDR and MSSP, organizations must consider their needs, resources, and cybersecurity goals. MDR may be more suitable for those seeking an active, comprehensive threat detection and response approach.

On the other hand, companies that need support in managing and monitoring their security infrastructure, especially if they have an existing IT team capable of handling incident response, might find MSSPs more aligned with their requirements.

It is also essential to consider factors like your organization's size, the nature of the data you handle, and your overall security posture. For instance, smaller businesses with limited resources might lean towards MSSP services, while larger enterprises with more complex security needs could benefit more from the holistic approach of MDR.

MDR and MSSP offer valuable cybersecurity services, but their differences make them suitable for different organizational needs. Understanding these differences and evaluating your requirements will help you decide which service aligns best with your cybersecurity strategy.

## MDR vs. MSSP FAQs

### What are the core MDR capabilities an MSSP must provide to be considered a viable potential managed security partner for an organization?

MSSPs should provide continuous, 24/7/365 monitoring services, complete support for response and remediation, and threat oversight through human threat hunters and incident responders.

### Other than technical capabilities, what are some of the "soft skills" both MSSPs and MDR providers should possess in an organization's evaluation?

The best MDR technology service providers are true partners with their customers. That means they must present an air of trust in their business dealings to give customers confidence that their full array of threat detection and response are being met.

The service provider also must be stable in terms of having a consistent human interface with their customer's CISO and/or in-house security engineers and a strong commitment to ongoing security-related R\&D.

Finally, the service provider must be an excellent communicator, talking regularly with the client about their needs and giving consistent, honest input on potential challenges and threats, and how they will be addressed.

### How are MSSP prices established between the service provider and the customer?

MSSP prices vary significantly from engagement to engagement, but they consider several important issues. These include:

* Number of users the organization has.
* Number of devices connected to the organization's network.
* Level of monitoring required by the organization.
* Services included in the MSSP's contract with the organization may be limited to MDR but, more likely, will be part of a portfolio of cybersecurity services.
