In March 2020 millions of workers across the globe (and their employers) were pulled into a massive, tumultuous experiment: working remotely. Five months later and that experiment shows no signs of abating — and for many, it will become permanent.

One of the fallouts for organizations is a skyrocketing growth of personal endpoints connecting to corporate networks — many of which were not secure, creating “open doors” into organizations and a lucrative opportunity for cybercriminals.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) offers organizations a potent buffer to cyber threats, even beyond exponential growth of personal devices on corporate networks. MDR provides intrusion detection of malware and malicious activity on networks and assists in rapid incident response to eliminate those threats with succinct remediation actions.

It seems some organizations are taking note. According to a recent MDR report by analyst firm EMA, 94% of organizations who are not already using an MDR service have plans to evaluate it over the next 18 months. And our experts know why.

We’ve collected our team of MDR whizzes all in one place — and you’re invited to join them on our next Ask Me Anything (AMA) webcast. They’ll use their hundreds of hours of experience working with organizations like yours, to explain how MDR can help thwart intrusion, and speed incident response.

Attend this session to learn:

How the threat landscape has evolved and what opportunities that creates for threat actors (and what threats it may pose to you)
How organizations are using MDR to their advantage (and how you can, too)
What industries, sectors and geographies may be more at risk
How MDR works to thwart threats and accelerates incident response

Register now for the webinar, then post your questions to the dedicated IBM Security Community discussion thread at https://ibm.biz/security-community-mdr-ama (to post a question, first sign in to the Community.) You’ll also be able to ask questions during the live event, but we'll start with those submitted in advance — so get yours in now!
