Overview
Faster threat defense starts with 24x7 managed prevention, detection and response
Handling cyberthreats today requires a complete understanding of your environment; that's how you can detect the most minute anomalies.
Many organizations are unable to defend against these threats as they lack the cybersecurity skills of experienced security professionals to handle sophisticated and advanced threats.
Organizations that don’t have the required expertise often struggle to adequately reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) and improve productivity because they’re managing too many security tools and alerts. Alert overload and time-consuming investigations lead to fatigued analysts, while the daily reality demands 24x7 coverage to investigate alerts.
IBM Security® ReaQta Essential MDR service delivers a 24x7 threat detection and fast response capability, fueled by threat intelligence. Our AI-powered automation and machine learning, coupled with human-led analysis, speeds threat response.
ReaQta Essential MDR delivers deep visibility and acts as an extension of your team by delivering operational transparency and collaboration to ensure threats are contained and remediated as soon as they’re detected—minimizing business risk while reducing damages and interruption of services.
The ReaQta Essential MDR service is managed and delivered by IBM Managed Security Services (MSS), a global network of trusted security experts.
