An Executive’s Guide to Budgeting for Managed Detection and Response
Cybersecurity costs continue to rise, with breaches averaging $3.92M and SOC setup exceeding $2.8M annually, making many in-house programs unsustainable. Staffing challenges, tool maintenance, and compliance add further strain, especially for small and mid-sized businesses. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) offers a cost-effective alternative by reducing capital and operational expenses while providing expert threat hunting, endpoint visibility, and continuous monitoring. MDR providers lower risks of non-compliance and accelerate detection and remediation. Trustwave’s MDR integrates advanced tools, skilled analysts, and proven processes to strengthen defenses and deliver higher ROI than building internal SOCs.
