T he need for managed detection and response ( MDR ) is soaring as attack surfaces grow , cloud usage skyrockets and the cybersecurity skills gap widens .

Palo Alto Networks has introduced Unit 42 Managed Detection and Response ( Unit 42 MDR ) to address this need with a new service that can offer continuous 24 / 7 threat detection , investigation and response .
This offering brings together Palo Alto Networks acclaimed Cortex XDR with Unit 42 ’ s industry-leading threat intelligence , which includes insights from incident response cases . Because Unit 42 MDR is built on Cortex XDR , it is optimised to not just prioritise alerts but also to massively reduce the number of alerts customers receive .
This helps customers detect more suspicious activity than they would have otherwise .
“ As cyberattacks continue to rise , many organisations are being asked to handle advanced threats with limited resources and without the right expertise . This will not lead to good results ,” said Wendi Whitmore , Senior Vice President , Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 .
“ Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 brings a unique combination of innovative cybersecurity technologies and a world-class threat intelligence team which allows us to provide customers with rapid detection and response to critical cyberthreats .”
The new Unit 42 MDR service offers customers cybersecurity experts to help identify and respond to security alerts and potential threats in real time , enabling businesses to focus security operations ( SecOps ) personnel on other organisational security priorities .
