4 reasons why MXDR is your best defense against cyber risk

1 - It identifies what others miss

Cybersecurity has long been plagued by blind spots. Unknown assets, outdated permissions, unmonitored endpoints – these are the cracks attackers slip through. Numerous and fragmented cybersecurity tools also add to hidden weaknesses through siloed visibilities that obscure the full threat picture. MXDR closes those cracks. It monitors everything: endpoints, cloud instances, identities, containers, applications. Not just some of the time, all the time. It’s also why Gartner found nearly a third of businesses plan to start using MXDR by 2025 – to unify their security tools and make their whole security ecosystem less complex.
Its impact stretches beyond mere visibility, and into knowing where your risks are before someone else does.

2 - It responds before the damage is done

Speed matters. The difference between a minor disruption and a major breach often comes down to minutes.

How so? Well not only does MXDR identify threats, it also combines ‘always-on’ protection with incident response teams to respond to threats instantly. They operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Cybersecurity firms with deep experience and expertise (like Beazley Security and their inhouse Cyber Services team) have usually handled thousands of incidents for businesses across industries that recognized the value of this type of ‘always-on’ protection. They know what to do when the worst happens – and they do it fast. More here

3 - It hunts what others overlook

Some threats don’t trigger alerts. They lurk quietly, waiting. MXDR includes proactive threat hunting – experts who search for sophisticated, long-term attacks that automated systems miss. Statistics from IBM have unearthed that cyber criminals can lurk inside a company’s systems undetected for 240 days on average. That’s over half a year of silent infiltration.

It’s easy to assume your systems are safe. MXDR replaces assumptions.

4 - It prepares you for the worst – and helps survival

There’s a moment every business dreads – when the systems go down, threats appear, and the questions start coming faster than answers. In that moment, preparation is the best form of attack. True preparedness with the help of MXDR takes your response plans and reimagines them as pre-emptive defense. Instead of just reacting to threats, it helps organizations stay ahead of them, maintaining visibility, control, and confidence.

Choosing the right solution is critical, and the worst day in your organization’s history is a typical Tuesday morning for Beazley Security’s team… so let them handle it.
