DENVER, Dec. 4, 2024 /CNW/ -- Optiv, the cyber advisory and solutions leader, has been named a Product Leader and an Overall Challenger in KuppingerCole Analysts' 2024 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Leadership Compass, an annual report published by one of the leading independent research and advisory companies.

Optiv, the cyber advisory and solutions leader, has been named a Product Leader and an Overall Challenger in KuppingerCole Analysts’ 2024 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Leadership Compass.

"We believe this recognition by KuppingerCole validates Optiv MDR as a best-in-breed solution for organizations looking to bolster their resilience and security posture," said Frank Giannetta, senior vice president of cyber managed operations at Optiv.

The report from KuppingerCole highlights Optiv MDR's strengths, which include:

• Simple pricing model based on the amount of data processed by the service
• Good integration with third-party security solutions
• Global threat intelligence team
• Strong support for compliance with security standards

Optiv earned "strong positive" or "positive" ratings in the categories of security, functionality, deployment, interoperability, usability, innovativeness, market position and financial strength, positioning Optiv as a strong competitor and leader in the MDR market.

"Optiv MDR supports organizations of all sizes and most verticals, particularly manufacturing, insurance and finance," according to KuppingerCole. "It will appeal to organizations looking for integrated complementary security technologies such as EDR and managed services for privileged access management (PAM), SIEM, vulnerability management and endpoint management."
