Cisco Managed Detection and Response allows you to capture, or expand, your share of the rapidly evolving MDR market, with a focus on detection and response capabilities using solutions that provide visibility to cloud, network, and endpoint unlike traditional Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP). MDR is an industry-leading Managed Security Service that combines the power of our global security operations teams with Talos® threat intelligence and the Cisco Secure Cloud architecture.
Effective July 1, 2020, partners who are eligible and authorized through the Cisco Services Partner Program (CSPP), can now quote MDR globally.
What does this mean for you? IDC estimates the managed security market will grow to $32.4B by 20221, and MDR allows you to enter or grow your business in its fastest growing segment, through resale, without the high cost, complexity and lengthy process to build, establish, and operate a competitive detection and response service. Customers spend 2.3x more with partners with managed services than those without.2
MDR solutions should leverage a defined architecture to deliver consistent and reliable indicators and response actions to contain, mitigate or eradicate threats. Cisco’s MDR is positioned with Cisco’s secure cloud architecture, comprised of Stealthwatch® Cloud, AMP for Endpoints, Threat Grid, and Umbrella™, to provide superior detection and response capabilities. As customers look to service providers for MDR solutions they are also consuming these technologies, providing a great opportunity to grow your business with additional security product sales.
You can directly quote and order MDR through Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW). The MDR pricing model compliments the underlying security products that are required to support MDR.
This integrated service offering accelerates time-to-market and increases sales with messaging and demand generation support.
