"Security leaders are shifting their stance on cybersecurity to examine it through a strategic, business, and industry lens, which IDC believes is the right approach. Efficient, effective security for the entire enterprise is a necessity at a time when networks are evaporating and endpoints are proliferating — and relentless adversaries continually adapt their tactics, techniques, and procedures. Organizations are looking for comprehensive threat detection and response as well as assistance with elevating cybersecurity maturity. Managed detection and response providers are stepping up to this challenge and differentiating themselves in areas such as XDR, automation and orchestration, threat intelligence, and threat hunting and assisting customers with building and executing their security journeys."
