Kudelski Security Managed Detection & Response (MDR) Services Deliver Faster Detection and Better Response While Saving Costs Compared to Internal Solution - Seite 2

Prior to integration with Kudelski Security MDR, interviewees noted their organizations struggled with common challenges, including a lack of coverage abilities, rising costs associated with security staffing, and no concrete security layer to enforce policies and procedures. After the investment in MDR, the interviewees reported a marked improvement in these areas. One security leader from a global packaging and processing enterprise commented: “Before, it would take us days. Now it takes minutes or maximum one hour to detect incidents. Our detection capabilities are now much better than before MDR.”

Key findings from the TEI Study include three-year, total risk-adjusted present value (PV) quantified benefits of $22.4M versus $6.4M costs for the composite organization. This figure can be contextualized by comparing it to the total IT security spend of a similarly sized organization, with present value quantified benefits attributed solely to MDR representing a 65% return on total IT security spend[1] over the three-year period.

The present value of the quantified benefits for the composite organization include:

• Better detection capabilities worth $13.5 million.  Kudelski Security’s MDR services helped to detect incidents that would have otherwise been invisible and represent a material risk of economical loss.
• SOC team cost avoidance worth $3.9 million. Without Kudelski Security’s 24/7 MDR services, the financial investment required to build and maintain an equivalent internal SOC would be significant.  
• Time savings for team members on detection, investigation, remediation, and response worth $4.5 million. Kudelski Security’s MDR services helped security teams to become 68% faster and more accurate in their core threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities. All participants interviewed experienced a significant improvement in capabilities since deploying Kudelski Security’s Managed Detection and Response services.
• Improved audit compliance worth $484,000. By leveraging Kudelski Security MDR services, better audit scores and improved audit compliance were achieved.

“Solving the complex security issues faced by enterprises requires more than just technological solutions," explained Jacques Boschung, CEO of Kudelski Security. “Forrester’s study not only confirms how security leaders were able to free up time and resources to invest in organizational excellence but also underscores the substantial ROI and efficiency gains that partnering with a top-tier MDR service like Kudelski Security can offer."
