Criterion 1
Telemetry breadth
Confirm coverage for endpoint, identity, email, cloud, network, vulnerability, and business-critical sources relevant to your threat model.
Detection and response
Managed detection and response providers monitor security telemetry, investigate suspicious activity, hunt for threats, and help contain confirmed incidents. MDR services differ in the systems they cover, the depth of human investigation, the actions analysts may take, and the boundary between included response and separately billed incident-response work.
Two MDR offerings may both promise continuous monitoring while delivering very different outcomes. One may depend on a bundled endpoint agent, another may correlate identity and cloud telemetry, and another may stop at recommendations. Buyers need evidence of investigation quality and an explicit response model, not only a platform demonstration.
These providers list raw service values that normalize to Managed Detection and Response. Compare the telemetry each provider monitors, how analysts investigate, which containment actions are authorized, and whether your existing tools are supported.

Criterion 1
Confirm coverage for endpoint, identity, email, cloud, network, vulnerability, and business-critical sources relevant to your threat model.
Criterion 2
Request a redacted case narrative showing evidence collection, timeline, affected scope, analyst reasoning, confidence, and recommended actions.
Criterion 3
Define which endpoint, identity, network, email, and cloud actions may happen automatically, with approval, or only as guidance.
Criterion 4
Compare time-to-triage and time-to-notify definitions, severity thresholds, escalation channels, senior responder access, and after-hours procedures.
Criterion 5
Ask how hunting hypotheses are selected, which data is searchable, how findings become detections, and what customers receive after each hunt.
An MDR provider delivers an ongoing managed detection and response service. It combines security telemetry, analytics, human investigation, threat hunting, escalation, and an agreed level of containment or response support.
Scope should state covered data sources, monitoring hours, investigation, hunting, notification, containment actions, incident coordination, reporting, platform responsibilities, onboarding, and work excluded from the recurring service.
Some providers support customer-owned tools, some require their platform or preferred products, and others offer both models. Validate the exact product versions, telemetry access, integrations, licensing, and operational responsibilities.
