“ With data breaches becoming more difficult to prevent , it is essential to rapidly respond to security incidents to reduce the potential impact on business continuity or data security ,” Martin explains .
“ The most effective way to decrease incident response time is with an MDR service , which provides 24 / 7 / 365 support from a remote SOC that helps companies detect and respond to threats ASAP .”
The popularity of MDR solutions is largely due to their high degree of effectiveness at combatting and containing many of the biggest threats to data centre cybersecurity , such as ransomware attacks , advanced malware , insider threats , supply chain compromise , and phishing .
“ MDR provides enterprises with all the support they need to detect and respond to the next generation of cyber threats . Rather than paying to maintain an on-site SOC , paying a single monthly service fee and having a team of security analysts on-call to help means that security incidents can be detected , investigated , and contained , significantly reducing the chances of damaging data leaks and business-impacting downtime .”
The value of implementing a zero-trust policy Another of the most popular cybersecurity policies that data centres are adopting is the zero-trust framework .
“ Technically speaking , a zero-trust network ( ZTN ) is a security model that maintains strict access controls and does not trust any device , user , or process by default , even if connected to a permissioned network ,” Kent explains .
“ This approach advocates mutual authentication and provides access to the network , based on the confidence of device identity and device health in combination with user authentication .”:
