What is Managed Detection & Response (MDR)?

Managed Detection & Response (MDR) is a cybersecurity service that combines advanced threat detection technology with human expertise to protect organisations around the clock. MDR providers monitor networks, endpoints, and cloud environments for threats, triage alerts, investigate suspicious activity, and execute containment measures.

For African enterprises with limited in-house security operations capabilities, MDR provides enterprise-grade threat detection and response without the cost of building a full Security Operations Centre (SOC). YIPS Africa delivers MDR services built on Microsoft security technologies.
