Find the right MDR provider

Barcelona-headquartered boutique MDR that brings SentinelOne and Stellar Cyber Open XDR expertise to the Spanish-speaking market. Gartner Market Guide representative vendor (2023). Small team with a bring-your-own-EDR approach, but almost no English-language community presence or published performance data, so you are largely trusting vendor claims.

Technology-agnostic MDR built on the Aurora open XDR platform, designed to work with your existing security tools rather than replace them. Arctic Wolf assigns a named Concierge Security Team to each customer as an extension of your internal staff. Valued at $4.3B, the company acquired BlackBerry's Cylance for endpoint coverage in early 2025.

Cloud-first MDR tightly coupled to Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR, targeting regulated industries like healthcare and financial services. Detection runs on Trend Micro Vision One with Armor's own agent layered on top, so buyers are committing to both ecosystems. Very thin public review footprint (12 G2 reviews) makes independent validation difficult.

MSP-channel managed XDR with a 24/7 global SOC across five specialized teams. SentinelOne powers endpoint security in the fully managed model, with a monitoring-only option for existing EDR. 50+ integrations spanning endpoint, email, network, cloud, and identity. Security logs are retained 12 months but not available for customer download, which limits forensic independence. Detection speed claims lack independent validation (no MITRE participation).

Technology-agnostic MDR co-founded by David Kennedy (creator of the Social Engineer Toolkit) with a strong reputation for proactive threat hunting. Binary Defense works with your existing EDR and SIEM rather than replacing them, and consistently earns the highest possible Forrester scores for endpoint detection and threat hunting.

Platform-native MDR built on the GravityZone stack where Bitdefender controls the entire detection pipeline from EPP through EDR/XDR to managed SOC operations. MITRE-evaluated for both Enterprise detection and Managed Services, with notably low false positive rates. Requires the GravityZone agent, which means full commitment to their ecosystem but tighter detection integration than vendor-agnostic alternatives.

MSP-channel-only MDR founded by former NSA operatives, selling exclusively through managed service providers. Blackpoint's SNAP-Defense platform uses a patented Live Network Map to detect lateral movement and tradecraft patterns, and the SOC acts autonomously without waiting for partner approval. Backed by $190M Series C from Bain Capital (2023).

Technology-agnostic MDR centered on the Trusted Behavior Registry, which auto-resolves the majority of alerts by identifying known-good behavior before they reach human analysts. One of the few MDR providers with OT/ICS monitoring through Claroty, Dragos, and Nozomi integrations. Founded by Rob Davis (former RSA Security VP), now led by CEO Scott White, and backed by Vista Equity Partners since 2022.

Platform-native MDR built on the Falcon platform where CrowdStrike analysts take direct remediation actions without waiting for customer approval. Charlotte AI powers AI-assisted investigation with agentic workflows, while Falcon Adversary OverWatch provides 24/7 proactive threat hunting. Requires the CrowdStrike Falcon ecosystem, which means single-vendor commitment but deep platform integration.

Technology-agnostic MDR built on Google Chronicle, formed from the 2021 merger of Herjavec Group and Fishtech Group. Cyderes is one of the few MDR providers offering client-managed, co-managed, and fully managed delivery options, and leans heavily into identity security through SailPoint and CyberArk partnerships. Very limited public review data makes independent validation difficult.

All-in-one AutoXDR platform that natively combines EPP, EDR, NDR, UEBA, deception, SOAR, and 24/7 CyOps MDR in a single agent, with MDR included at no extra cost. Founded in Israel in 2015, now led by CEO Jason Magee (formerly ConnectWise), with R&D in Tel Aviv and SOC operations following the sun across three regions. Requires replacing existing EDR with the Cynet agent, which means full platform commitment but eliminates multi-vendor complexity.

Technology-agnostic MDR that integrates with your existing EDR, SIEM, and cloud tools without requiring a proprietary agent. Cyrebro built its own SOC platform with a proprietary detection engine and SOAR, targeting SMBs and mid-market buyers who want fast onboarding (hours, not weeks). Limited brand recognition outside G2, and SOC coverage runs from a single region (Israel/Europe).

Agentic AI MDR from Unit 8200 veterans where AI agents autonomously investigate and contain threats under analyst supervision. Deploys in under 1 hour via API integrations with existing EDR (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne). Founded late 2024, $40M funded (Craft Ventures, Bain Capital). Serving dozens of enterprises but zero independent reviews as of February 2026.

Pure-play, SIEM-centric MDR with a patented Dynamic Risk Scoring engine claiming 98% false positive reduction. Squad Delivery Model assigns a named team of analysts, hunters, and engineers per customer, working on top of your existing Splunk, Google SecOps, Microsoft Sentinel, or Securonix SIEM. Significant organizational instability: 42% headcount reduction (412 to 239 employees) across 2024-2025, CEO replaced July 2024, founding CEO departed to competitor Mitiga Jan 2025, Glassdoor 2.9/5.

Pure-play MDR with a contractual 15-minute mean time to contain. Atlas XDR platform correlates endpoint, network, log, cloud, and identity telemetry across 300+ integrations. Isolates 99.3% of threats at first host. Named a Leader in The Forrester Wave MDR Services in Europe Q3 2025. Serves 2,000+ organizations across 80+ countries.

API-first, vendor-agnostic MDR that connects to your existing security stack via 160+ integrations without deploying a proprietary agent. Founded by former Mandiant/FireEye executives, Expel's Workbench platform provides full transparency into every SOC analyst action. Threat hunting and incident response are separate add-ons, not included in the base MDR service.

Canadian platform-native MDR founded by ex-CSE (signals intelligence) operators. Rebranded from Covalence to Field Effect MDR in 2023. Two tiers: MDR Core ($99/user/month for 25 users or fewer) and MDR Complete (adds network monitoring, DNS firewall, and dark web monitoring at custom pricing).

Platform-native MXDR from a Montreal-based provider that bundles endpoint, network, email, and Active Directory detection into its proprietary Titan platform. GoSecure also ingests Microsoft Defender telemetry, making it one of the few smaller MDR vendors with a credible Microsoft integration story. The trade-off: almost no public peer reviews exist, making independent validation difficult before you buy.

Channel-first MDR platform that sells almost exclusively through MSP partners. Founded by ex-NSA operators, Huntress grew from a single endpoint product into a four-product suite covering endpoints, M365 identities, SIEM, and security training. Valued at $1.8B as of 2025.

Services firm MDR backed by 3,000+ annual IR cases feeding detection. Complete Response goes beyond containment to full threat eradication, forensics, and root cause analysis, with a complimentary $1M breach warranty. Migrated to CrowdStrike Falcon Complete in December 2025, trading platform independence for faster response.

Platform-native MDR that bundles its own XDR stack with native deception technology, a genuine differentiator among MDR providers. All-inclusive pricing covers unlimited DFIR, threat hunting, and remediation. Bootstrapped, channel-only, and small (roughly 50 employees), so buyers should weigh innovative tech against vendor scale risk.

Technology-agnostic, co-managed MDR where your security data stays in your own environment rather than the vendor's cloud. Built through three acquisitions since 2022 (Datashield rebranding, Netsurion SIEM, Critical Insight for healthcare/government). Not recognized by Gartner, Forrester, or MITRE in any MDR evaluation, and public customer reviews are almost nonexistent.

Services-firm MDR powered by 500+ Mandiant threat intelligence analysts from 30+ countries, acquired by Google Cloud for $5.4B in 2022. Works with your existing EDR (CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne) without requiring a proprietary agent. Expert-led response with single-click endpoint containment, but full incident response requires a separate retainer.

Microsoft-exclusive MXDR service spun off from Open Systems in 2023. Uses agentic AI (ION IQ and Autonomous Investigator) to resolve 99.5% of incidents without customer involvement. 2023 Microsoft Security Services Innovator of the Year.

Technology-agnostic MDR built on Microsoft Defender XDR or Palo Alto Cortex, operated by the cybersecurity arm of French telecom giant Orange S.A. Strong in European regulated industries with ANSSI, CREST, and NATO accreditations that few competitors match. Almost no practitioner reviews exist on G2, PeerSpot, or Reddit, making independent validation difficult.

Platform-vendor MDR built on Cortex XDR and XSIAM with 200+ Unit 42 analysts, researchers, and engineers. Requires the Cortex platform as a prerequisite, so it is a natural fit for organizations already invested in Palo Alto firewalls, Prisma, and WildFire. MSIAM 2.0 (Feb 2026) added third-party EDR telemetry support and a 250-hour Breach Response Guarantee on the Premium tier.

Technology-agnostic MDR built around SIEM flexibility: Proficio hosts a SIEM for you or plugs into your existing Splunk, Sentinel, or Elastic deployment. Founded in 2010, the company runs a smaller operation than most MDR competitors, which can mean more personalized service but raises questions about scale. Automated containment (Active Defense) costs extra on top of the base monitoring service.

Platform vendor requiring Rapid7 Insight Agent on 80%+ of assets, with one key differentiator: you keep full query access to your SIEM data. Analyst pods learn your environment over time rather than treating you as a ticket queue. Active Response with Velociraptor (launched April 2025) lets analysts take direct remediation actions on your endpoints.

Pure-play MDR built to work with whatever EDR you already have, covering 9 platforms including CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, and Carbon Black. Founded 2014 in Denver, acquired by Zscaler August 2025 for $675M. Detection-as-code methodology with MITRE ATT&CK mapping across all detections, AI Investigation Agents trained on 10+ years of data, and Slack-native SOC communication.

Technology-agnostic MDR built on GreyMatter, an orchestration layer that sits on top of your existing SIEM, EDR, and cloud tools rather than replacing them.

Services firm (formerly Dell subsidiary, IPO'd 2016) acquired by Sophos in February 2025 for $859M. Open XDR MDR built on the Taegis platform with Counter Threat Unit intelligence, now part of Sophos X-Ops. Taegis continues with active investment, though long-term consolidation into Sophos Central creates uncertainty for enterprise buyers.

Platform-native MDR requiring SentinelOne Singularity. Rebranded from Vigilance MDR to Wayfinder MDR at OneCon 2025 (GA November 2025) with three tiers: Essentials, Elite (bundled IR/DFIR), and Incident Readiness & Response. 100% in-house, non-outsourced analyst team. Purple AI Athena (April 2025) adds agentic workflows for automated triage and investigation. Unique Windows Rollback capability restores endpoints to pre-attack state.

Endpoint vendor offering managed detection and response on its own platform, plus 350+ third-party integrations for telemetry enrichment. Sophos agent required for full MDR, though XDR Sensor allows detection-only monitoring alongside existing endpoint protection. Acquired Secureworks in February 2025 for $859M, combining 28,000+ MDR subscribers across both platforms.

Israeli IR-born MXDR where the same 8-person dedicated team handles both continuous monitoring and full incident response, with no handoff and no separate retainer.

Technology-agnostic MDR from Sweden's largest SOC in Stockholm, with 350+ specialists across Scandinavia, Germany, and the US.

PE-owned by IK Partners since 2021, 86% of customers have 500+ employees.

Technology-agnostic MDR backed by SpiderLabs, one of the longest-running offensive security teams in the industry. Founded in 1995 and now owned by LevelBlue (acquired August 2025), Trustwave is the first pure-play MDR provider to earn FedRAMP authorization, making it the default choice for US federal and state agencies. Four ownership changes in ten years is the main risk factor buyers should weigh.

Finnish MDR provider focused on European data sovereignty, built on the WithSecure Elements platform. Demerged from F-Secure in 2022, with MDR operational since 2015 through the acquired MWR InfoSecurity Countercept service.
