In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses face an increasing number of sophisticated cyber threats, all while trying to stay compliant with stringent cyber insurance guidelines. A one-man IT team at his organisation, was struggling to meet these cybersecurity requirements while juggling his daily tasks. That’s where ESET’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution came in —and completely transformed his cybersecurity posture.
The Challenge: Limited Resources and High Cybersecurity Demands
Ed’s organisation understood the importance of cyber insurance guidelines, which require organisations to have robust security measures in place. However, with this individual being the only person responsible for IT, managing security 24/7 was a daunting task. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) technology was already in place, but maintaining it and responding to potential threats around the clock simply wasn’t feasible with Ed’s limited resources.
This is a common problem faced by many businesses. While the tools to enhance cybersecurity may be available, organisations often lack the manpower and expertise to manage those solutions effectively. That’s when the team realised they needed more than just the technology—they needed a managed service that could provide the expertise and around-the-clock coverage required for comprehensive protection.
Delivered: ESET’s MDR Service and Premium Support Advanced
To meet these needs, ESET’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service was introduced. MDR services go beyond simply deploying security technology; they offer the operational support businesses need to manage those tools effectively. For this business, this meant that the 24/7 monitoring and management of the XDR console were handled by ESET’s expert team, allowing him to focus on his day-to-day responsibilities without the burden of constantly monitoring for threats.
With ESET’s MDR, the organisation received more than just continuous monitoring. They also had a dedicated account manager, providing ongoing support and guidance. This personalised approach ensured that any issues could be swiftly addressed, and the individual had direct access to expert advice whenever needed. Premium support services offered advanced assistance with remediation efforts, ensuring that the organisation could respond to threats promptly and effectively.
The Difference: Reduced Risk and Strengthened Cybersecurity Posture
As a result of this solution, the businesses risk exposure was significantly reduced, and his organisation’s cybersecurity posture was greatly strengthened. No longer was one person responsible for managing threats alone; instead, they had a dedicated team of cybersecurity experts handling the detection and response for him. This freed up valuable time and resources, allowing him to focus on other IT tasks while knowing that his organisation was protected 24/7.
With the MDR service, any potential threats were quickly identified and addressed before they could escalate into full-blown incidents. Additionally, the constant monitoring provided a proactive approach to cybersecurity, ensuring that the organisation was always a step ahead of cybercriminals.
Why ESET’s MDR Solution Was Essential
For this organisation, ESET’s MDR service was a critical addition to their cybersecurity strategy. Unlike traditional security solutions, which require extensive in-house resources to manage effectively, MDR services provide an outsourced team of experts to continuously monitor and respond to threats. This 24/7 monitoring ensures that no alert goes unnoticed and no threat is left unchecked.
ESET’s MDR service is especially valuable for organisations where internal IT resources are limited. By leveraging the expertise of ESET’s security professionals, small businesses are able to benefit from enterprise-level protection without the need to expand their internal team.
Moreover, with the added benefit of premium support, the organisation had access to a direct line of communication with ESET’s support team, ensuring rapid response and guidance whenever an issue arose.
