Cyber threats are escalating across the board, and mid-market organizations – especially in healthcare – find themselves squarely in attackers’ crosshairs. Many smaller hospitals and clinics mistakenly thought they were “too small” to be targeted, but in 2022 over 58% of ransomware attacks hit SMBs (small-to-mid businesses). Healthcare breaches have become alarmingly frequent and costly; the average healthcare breach in 2023 reached nearly $11 million. Even mid-sized companies (not just large enterprises) now face multi-million dollar breach costs – IBM’s data shows mid-market firms average around $3.5M per breach. In short, the threat landscape is forcing business leaders to reckon with cybersecurity not as an IT footnote, but as a core business risk.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) enters this conversation as more than just an anti-hacker tool – it’s a business decision rooted in risk tolerance and cost efficiency. When a single breach can cost $4.45M on average (global figure), organizations must weigh the price of prevention versus the pain of incident response. MDR represents a proactive strategy: rather than hoping your basic defenses hold, you invest in 24/7 experts to catch threats early. It’s about choosing to spend on security “insurance” now instead of footing an enormous recovery bill later. Given the rising stakes, the MDR discussion has made its way to the boardroom, framed in the language of business continuity and ROI, not just firewalls and antivirus.
What MDR Actually Delivers
So, what does Managed Detection & Response actually deliver in business terms? At its core, MDR is a 24×7 cybersecurity service that monitors, detects and responds to threats in real time. In practice, it combines advanced technology and human expertise to act as an always-on extension of your IT team. Think of it as having a dedicated security operations center (SOC) on call at all hours – without having to build one yourself.
Key capabilities of MDR include:
- Continuous 24/7 Threat Monitoring: A team of analysts watches your networks, endpoints, and cloud environments around the clock, so malicious activity doesn’t go unnoticed at 2 AM . Threats don’t keep to business hours, and neither does an MDR team.
- Rapid Incident Response: The moment a credible threat is confirmed, responders act fast – isolating infected machines, killing malicious processes, locking compromised accounts, and guiding cleanup. It’s about detecting and responding, not just sending alerts. This limits damage and downtime dramatically.
- Proactive Threat Hunting: MDR isn’t merely reactive. Providers actively hunt for stealthy threats that may have slipped past preventive defenses. They use real-time threat intelligence and clever analytics to sniff out anomalies (like a user login from two countries an hour apart) that traditional tools would miss.
- Expert Analysis & Triage: MDR brings skilled humans into the loop. Experienced security analysts investigate suspicious activity, filter out false alarms, and prioritize the real dangers. This human judgment means fewer missed attacks and fewer needless 3AM wake-up calls for your IT staff.
- Reduced Breach Dwell Time: Ultimately, MDR’s outcome is speed. By catching intrusions early, it slashes the time an attacker lurks in your network from months to hours. Industry data shows companies using MDR cut average “dwell time” down from ~207 days to as little as 24–72 hours – a game-changing difference that can turn a potential crisis into a minor hiccup.
All these capabilities translate to tangible business outcomes: breaches are stopped before they spiral, meaning reduced damage, less reputational harm, and faster recovery. As one security expert put it, “Time is the new currency in cybersecurity… early detection and fast response can significantly reduce the impact of a breach.” In other words, MDR buys you time when you need it most – and in a cyber crisis, time saved is money saved.

The Real-World Cost of a Breach
To understand MDR’s value, we have to appreciate the full cost of a cyber breach. It’s not just the IT cleanup – it’s a cascade of business losses. The headline number is scary enough: the average data breach costs $4.45 million globally. But that figure only scratches the surface of what a serious incident can encompass:
- Direct financial losses: This includes forensic investigations, notifying affected parties, legal fees, and technical remediation. For instance, when Sony was breached, their estimated cleanup bill topped $171 million. Even for smaller breaches, expenses rack up quickly.
- Downtime and productivity loss: If your systems go down, how much revenue do you lose per hour? Downtime is extremely costly in sectors like healthcare where operations are 24/7. Industry estimates put ransomware-related downtime at about $1.9M per day on average, with recovery often taking weeks. Imagine several days or weeks where business grinds to a halt – it’s financially devastating.
- Regulatory fines and penalties: In regulated industries (healthcare, finance, etc.), a breach often triggers investigations and fines. Under HIPAA, for example, fines can run up to $1.5 million per violation per year – and that’s not even counting potential FTC penalties or state attorney general actions. Failing to meet breach notification deadlines, or not having done a proper risk assessment, can compound these fines.
- Lawsuits and liability: Breached organizations frequently face class-action lawsuits from customers or patients. One analysis noted class action settlements effectively costing about $1,000 per affected record on average. Multiply that by tens of thousands of records and you see the lawsuit exposure.
- Reputational damage & customer loss: Perhaps the biggest long-term cost is trust. Would you stay with a hospital or bank after they exposed your data? Studies suggest up to 40% of customers/patients might drop out after a security breach. The lifetime revenue lost from those defections can dwarf the immediate cleanup costs. Additionally, your brand takes a hit that makes acquiring new customers harder.
In healthcare, these “hidden” breach costs are especially pronounced. Beyond the IT incident, there are HIPAA investigation expenses, patient notification and credit monitoring costs ($10–30 per record), potential medical identity theft issues, and life-or-death implications if patient care is disrupted. It’s no wonder healthcare breach costs are the highest of any industry, averaging ~$10–11M per incident.
Another often overlooked factor is breach dwell time – the duration an attacker remains undetected in your environment. The longer the dwell time, the more time they have to steal data, do damage, and increase your ultimate costs. Unfortunately, without 24/7 monitoring, many breaches go unnoticed for weeks or months. One report found that without MDR services, attackers lurked for an average of 207 days (over 7 months!) inside victim networks. Imagine the damage someone could do snooping around your systems for half a year. With MDR in place, that dwell time can shrink dramatically – sometimes to mere hours – greatly limiting the scale of breach impact. It’s the difference between catching a crook the day they break in versus discovering them after they’ve been living in your office for months.
Bottom line: a major cyber incident can incur millions in hard costs and untold soft costs. Downtime, fines, lawsuits, lost business – it all adds up. This is the “risk” side of the equation that MDR is meant to mitigate. Every organization has to ask: given our exposure, can we afford NOT to invest in stronger detection and response?
Breaking Down the Investment in MDR
Of course, MDR itself comes with a price tag, and business leaders need to justify that investment. So, what does MDR typically cost, and what are you actually paying for?
Typical MDR pricing: Most providers charge for MDR on a subscription model, often based on the number of devices or assets covered. Prices generally range from about $10 to $30 per endpoint per month for mid-market organizations. For example, if you have 200 endpoints, your MDR service might run on the order of $2,000–$6,000 per month (depending on service tiers and options). Many offer tiered packages (Silver/Gold/Platinum, etc.) with increasing levels of service. As a rule of thumb, per-endpoint costs can be lower with larger volumes; one guide puts a typical rate around $11–17 per device per month in mid-sized environments. Servers and other critical assets might be priced higher (they generate more data and need extra care). Most contracts are annual, which helps with predictable budgeting. In short, for a few thousand dollars a month, a mid-market business can have enterprise-grade detection and response coverage that would be very costly to replicate in-house.
What you’re paying for: MDR isn’t just a software tool – it’s a bundle of technology, people, and process. Here’s what that monthly fee typically includes as value delivered:
- A 24/7 SOC Team: Essentially, you are hiring a team of security analysts and incident responders who watch your environment day and night. This covers the salaries, training, and round-the-clock shifts of experts who become your eyes on glass.
- Advanced Detection Tools (EDR/XDR/SIEM): MDR services provide the actual security platforms – like Endpoint Detection & Response agents, extended detection and response systems, security information and event management (SIEM) for log analysis, etc. These tools are part of the package, so you’re not separately buying expensive security software licenses.
- Threat Intelligence Feeds: Good MDR providers plug into live threat intel feeds (tracking new hacker tactics, indicators of compromise, dark web chatter about exploits, etc.). This intel helps them catch emerging threats faster. Instead of you subscribing to intel services, the MDR brings that to the table.
- Incident Response & Remediation: You’re also paying for immediate incident handling. When something happens, the MDR team will contain and remediate the threat – whether that’s isolating a host, removing malware, or providing step-by-step guidance to your IT staff. Some even include a certain amount of digital forensics or post-incident reporting. Importantly, there are no hourly incident response fees – it’s baked into the service.
- Continuous Reporting & Compliance Support: Most MDR offerings include regular security reports, compliance assistance (e.g. logs and evidence for HIPAA or PCI audits), and possibly monthly vulnerability scans or assessments. They help you demonstrate that you have active security monitoring in place – a plus for regulations and cyber insurance.
- Platform Maintenance & Tuning: All the behind-the-scenes work of maintaining detection rules, updating software, tuning out false positives – the MDR provider handles that. You’re paying for their expertise to keep the system effective, so you don’t have to dedicate your IT staff to babysit security tools.
In essence, MDR turns what would be a massive capital investment (in infrastructure and headcount) into a lean operational expense. To put it in perspective, building an equivalent in-house SOC could involve hiring 5+ full-time analysts (to cover 24/7 shifts) and purchasing several security technologies – easily $700k+ per year in staffing and hundreds of thousands in tools. One analysis found an in-house 24/7 SOC costs $770k–$2.2M in the first year, when you add up personnel, technology, training, etc., whereas an MDR service for a mid-sized business might cost around $50k–$200k per year. That’s an order-of-magnitude difference. You’re effectively sharing the cost of a top-notch security team and tools with other clients of the MDR provider, achieving economies of scale.
Flexible delivery models: It’s worth noting you can usually choose between a fully managed service (provider handles everything end-to-end) or a co-managed approach (provider works alongside your internal team). In a co-managed model, your in-house IT or security folks might handle some of the remediation or certain alerts, while the MDR analysts provide monitoring, expertise, and an extra set of eyes. This can be useful if you already have an IT staff that wants to stay involved. Co-managed arrangements offer a lot of flexibility – your internal team can focus on high-priority projects, while the MDR team filters noise and only escalates the things that need attention. Fully managed, on the other hand, is more hands-off for you – good if you lack internal resources or prefer to outsource all security operations. Either way, ensure you understand what’s in scope: do you want the MDR provider to just alert your team, or do you want them to take direct action? Providers often have tiers for notify-only, guided response, or active response – with increasing costs accordingly. Make sure the model fits your capabilities and comfort level.
Evaluate MDR for Your Business
Risk Reduction as ROI
Investing in MDR should ultimately be looked at through the lens of risk reduction and return on investment (ROI). How much risk (and potential cost) are you offsetting by spending on this service? The good news is there’s evidence that MDR (and related investments in detection/response) do pay off.
First, as discussed, faster detection and response directly lower the cost of breaches when they do happen. Organizations that can contain a breach quickly suffer significantly fewer losses. According to IBM data, companies with fully deployed security AI and automation (analogous to having advanced detection in place) had a 108-day shorter breach lifecycle and saved $1.76M per incident on average compared to those without. In MDR terms, catching an attack in hours instead of weeks could cut your incident costs by more than 50%. One MDR provider study claims their clients saw 54% lower incident costs on average – essentially, a breach that might have cost $1M only cost $460k when dealt with swiftly. While figures will vary, the trend is consistent: speed kills breaches. Reducing the severity and duration of security incidents has a very real dollar value.
Think of MDR as an operational insurance policy for cyber risk. Just like you pay insurance premiums to avoid a catastrophic financial hit later, MDR is a way of “insuring” your organization against the worst outcomes of a cyberattack. Yes, you pay a monthly fee – but in return you drastically lower the probability of a business-crippling event. It’s far cheaper to detect and snuff out an attack early than to pay for full-scale breach remediation after the fact. The costs of bringing in emergency incident responders, crisis PR firms, notification mailings, regulators, and so on can be enormous. For example, without strong detection, a company might have to hire a digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) team post-breach at high hourly rates, plus absorb customer attrition and compliance fines. Those “uninsured” costs often dwarf the price of an MDR service. In the words of one expert, “the threat of leaking your data is worse than the cost of the MDR” . It’s analogous to paying for fire alarms and sprinklers versus paying for the fire department to rescue a fully engulfed building. One is a manageable ongoing expense; the other is an unpredictable, devastating event.
MDR also contributes to operational ROI in less obvious ways. By outsourcing the heavy lifting of threat monitoring, your internal IT/security team (if you have one) becomes more efficient. They’re not up at night chasing false positives or investigating every minor alert. Freed from “alert fatigue,” they can spend time on strategic improvements, system hardening, and training employees – activities that proactively reduce risk. Some analyses note that organizations save hundreds of staff hours per month by offloading alert triage to an MDR. There’s also tool consolidation: an MDR service might replace several separate products (SIEM, monitoring software, etc.), saving you those licensing costs. All told, when Forrester studied companies using MDR, they calculated a 201% ROI over three years on the investment, with payback in under 6 months. In plain terms, the benefits (in reduced risk and improved efficiency) were about triple the cost.
Don’t overlook the compliance benefits either. Many data protection regulations (HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, etc.) explicitly or implicitly require continuous security monitoring and incident response capabilities. By having MDR in place, you’re checking those boxes and can more easily demonstrate compliance. MDR providers often assist with the reports and evidence you need during audits. More importantly, you lower the chance of a compliance violation (like a data breach involving regulated info). Remember, failing a compliance audit or suffering a breach can lead to penalties that are themselves ROI-negatives. MDR helps you meet regulatory requirements and avoid costly penalties by keeping robust security controls in place. In highly regulated fields, this compliance peace of mind is a significant part of MDR’s value proposition.
At the end of the day, the cost of MDR should be measured against the cost of inaction. If a breach would cost you, say, $5 million in losses, spending a fraction of that on preventive measures is a wise investment. We often say in cybersecurity: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. MDR is prevention, detection, and response rolled together – essentially an anti-breach package that, while not infallible, massively tilts the odds in your favor.
MDR vs. Traditional Security Tools
You might be thinking: “We already have antivirus and a firewall – why isn’t that enough?” Traditional security tools are necessary, but in 2025 they’re far from sufficient. Here’s why MDR is a fundamentally different (and stronger) layer on top of your basic defenses:
Legacy tools are reactive and signature-based. The old-school approach of antivirus (AV) software and perimeter firewalls is like setting up a home alarm and hoping for the best. Standard AV can catch known malware – it’s good at recognizing the bad files it’s seen before – but it often falls flat against novel or sophisticated attacks. Modern attackers use polymorphic malware (which constantly changes form) and fileless techniques (living off the land in memory) specifically to evade AV. A traditional firewall might block known malicious IPs or ports, but it won’t flag an attacker who has stolen valid credentials or is tunneling traffic through allowed protocols. In short, these tools “often fall short when facing clever new attack methods.”
MDR provides depth and vigilance. Unlike a static scanner, MDR is like having a vigilant security guard on duty 24/7/365. It keeps watch continuously – like a guard who never sleeps. Instead of relying solely on known threat signatures, MDR uses behavioral analysis, anomaly detection, and human threat hunters to identify suspicious activity even if it’s never been seen before. For example, traditional AV might miss an attacker using admin tools to scrape data (because it’s not malware per se), but an MDR analyst will catch that strange behavior. Proactive threat hunting means MDR isn’t waiting for an alarm to go off; the team is actively looking for trouble in your network’s nooks and crannies. This level of scrutiny simply isn’t achievable with a set-and-forget antivirus program or a once-a-week vulnerability scan.
Rapid response vs. basic alerts. Think about what happens when antivirus finds a virus: usually, it quarantines the file and maybe pops up a notification. That’s it. There’s no investigation of how it got there or whether it spread. MDR, by contrast, actively responds to attacks in progress. If malware is detected on one machine, MDR will isolate that host, scan for any lateral movement, purge persistence mechanisms, and help restore the system. If a user’s account is compromised, MDR can force password resets or disable the account while the threat is analyzed. This orchestrated response can be the difference between a contained incident and a full-on breach. Your firewall or AV certainly isn’t going to call you at 3 AM and say, “I’ve contained an intrusion and here’s what to do next” – but that’s exactly the kind of call (or more likely, sleep-saving email) you get with MDR.
Covering blind spots and integrating with IT. MDR also plays nicely with your existing IT and MSP setup by covering gaps those teams can’t. Traditional IT teams, especially in mid-sized companies, are stretched thin keeping systems running. They don’t have the manpower to monitor logs 24/7. In fact, 70% of security teams say staff shortages hurt their ability to respond to incidents. MDR fills this gap as a force multiplier, not a replacement. It’s not here to rip out your firewall or AV; it’s here to watch all the things those tools generate and catch what they miss. In many cases, MDR will ingest data from your firewalls, endpoint logs, cloud logs, etc., and correlate it for signs of trouble. This means MDR integrates with your current infrastructure rather than duplicating it. It can also take on routine security tasks, freeing your internal IT personnel (or MSP resources) to focus on other projects. Far from being an outsider, a good MDR provider works like part of your team – they become familiar with your environment, advise on improvements, and coordinate with your staff when hands-on work is needed.
A helpful way to frame it is traditional tools = trying to prevent break-ins; MDR = assuming some will get past and being ready to catch them. You still want the locks on the doors (firewall) and the security camera (antivirus) – but MDR is the security guard who hears the window smash at 2 AM and immediately calls the police and grabs the fire extinguisher. It’s a layered approach. Given the evolved threat landscape, relying on prevention alone (no matter how updated your firewall/AV is) is risky. As one mid-market security article noted, “Reactive, single-layer defenses leave gaps that modern threats can easily exploit.” MDR addresses those gaps with a multi-layered, active defense.
Map Out Your Security ROI
When MDR Is Not Worth It
Is MDR always worth the investment? For most mid-sized organizations, the benefits are compelling, but there are a few scenarios where MDR might not be necessary, or the timing might not be right:
Very small or low-risk organizations: If you’re a very small business with a limited digital footprint, MDR could be overkill. For example, a local business with 5 employees, no sensitive data beyond basic emails, and a simple IT setup might manage fine with a standard antivirus, strong passwords, and regular offsite backups. The cost of MDR might outweigh the risk in such a case – spending, say, $1,500 a month on MDR for a business that might only lose $5,000 in a worst-case cyber incident probably doesn’t make sense. These micro-organizations might opt for more barebones security or cheaper managed IT services until they grow larger. (However, note that many small businesses underestimate their risk – so be cautious in self-qualifying as “too small to need MDR.” Attackers do target small fish, often precisely because they have weaker security.)
Lack of basic security foundations: MDR is not a silver bullet. If your basic security hygiene is nonexistent, throwing money at MDR isn’t a substitute for implementing fundamental protections. For instance, if you have no firewalls, all your systems are unpatched, and your users click every phishing email, an MDR service will certainly alert you to a lot of issues – but you’ll be so overwhelmed with incidents that it’s a waste. Signs you’re not ready for MDR might include: you haven’t implemented antivirus on PCs at all, you have no inventory of your assets, you’re lacking any kind of data backups, or you’ve never trained employees on security. In these cases, it’s wise to address basic cyber hygiene first. Start by getting a baseline level of defense (patch your systems, install anti-malware, do backups, enforce multifactor authentication, etc.). Otherwise, MDR would be like installing a fancy security camera in a house with no locks on the doors – you’ll see the intruders, but you won’t stop them from walking in.
Tight budgets and other priorities: Some organizations simply may not have the budget for MDR yet. If you truly cannot afford it and you must choose where to invest limited resources, you might prioritize things like updating aging infrastructure or doing one-time security hardening projects. However, consider the risk – this is where performing a Security Risk Assessment (SRA) is crucial. By conducting a thorough risk assessment, you can understand what threats your company faces and what a breach would cost you, then decide if MDR’s cost is justified . If your assessment shows minimal risk (perhaps you have very little data to steal, or everything is in a highly secure cloud service), you might reasonably defer MDR. But if it shows substantial risk, that helps build the case that MDR is worth it. (For a deeper dive on this, see our post on Security Risk Assessments and why they matter – it’s the first step to take if you’re unsure about your security priorities.)
If you conclude that you’re not ready for MDR or it’s not necessary in your situation, have a plan B. Maybe engage in a one-time penetration test or vulnerability assessment to at least identify your weak points. Consider a lighter-weight managed security service (like managed AV or a managed firewall) as a stepping stone. And absolutely ensure you have an incident response plan in place – even a basic one – so if something does go wrong, you’re not scrambling without a playbook. Sometimes the advice is: crawl, walk, run. If MDR is “running” but you’re still crawling in terms of security maturity, focus on getting to the walking stage. This might include things like security awareness training for staff, basic monitoring of critical systems (even if it’s just checking logs daily), and engaging an IT security consultant for guidance. Then, when resources allow or as the company grows, you can revisit the MDR decision.
Questions to Ask Before You Invest in MDR
Deciding on MDR is a significant step. Before you pull the trigger, it’s wise to ask some pointed questions about your current state and needs. Here are a few key questions to consider:
- Do we have 24/7 security coverage right now? In other words, who’s watching your systems on weekends, holidays, and at 3 AM? If the answer is “no one” or a single IT person on an on-call rotation, that’s a strong argument for MDR. Attacks can happen anytime – and often do outside normal hours.
- What’s our incident response plan today? If a breach happened tomorrow, do you know exactly who would do what? Do you have the in-house expertise to investigate and contain it? Many mid-market firms discover (usually after an incident) that they don’t have a concrete IR plan. If you don’t have one, MDR brings an almost ready-made plan (and team) for those scenarios.
- What would downtime or a serious breach cost us in real dollars? Reflect on the tangible impact: lost revenue per hour of downtime, the potential customer churn, the contractual penalties or regulatory fines. Is that impact tolerable? This ties back to risk assessment – if a single day of downtime costs $100k in lost sales, and MDR could prevent a two-week outage from ransomware, that contextualizes the value. Be honest about your organization’s dependence on IT systems and data. For many, the cost of even a moderate incident far exceeds a year’s worth of MDR service.
Additionally, you might ask about internal readiness: Are our executives and stakeholders aware of our cyber risk exposure? Sometimes getting buy-in for MDR requires educating leadership on the stakes. Present them with the answers to the above questions. If the CEO realizes “downtime would cost us $50,000 a day and we currently have zero monitoring at night,” the investment in MDR becomes a no-brainer.
From a vendor evaluation standpoint, also consider questions like: What exactly is included in the MDR service? (e.g. does it include endpoint protection software, does it cover cloud/SaaS, do they provide on-site support if needed, etc.), and How will the MDR team interface with ours? (communication channels, reporting frequency, escalation procedures). But those come once you’ve decided MDR is worth pursuing. First, make sure you’ve convinced yourself and your leadership why it’s needed by examining the current gaps and risks.
Conclusion: Security is a Business Decision
At the end of the day, choosing to invest in MDR (or any cybersecurity measure) is not just an “IT department” decision – it’s a business decision through and through. It comes down to how much risk your organization is willing to tolerate and how much that risk could cost you if it materializes. As one expert aptly noted, engaging MDR is “not purely a tech decision, but a business one, since it’s associated with the cost of doing business and withstanding risks.” In other words, it’s about balancing the upfront cost of security versus the financial and operational fallout of a major security incident.
When you frame security investments in terms of business risk, the conversation becomes easier at the executive level. Calculate your own risk exposure: what are the crown jewels in your data? What would it cost if they were stolen or if your operations were disrupted for days? Then compare that potential loss to the cost of MDR. This risk-vs-cost breakdown often makes the value clear. If the math shows that, say, there’s a decent chance of a $5M breach in the next few years for a company of your profile, and an MDR program costs $100k/year, preventing even a fraction of that breach likelihood pays for itself.
Keep in mind also the strategic angle – security enables business continuity and trust. An investment in MDR is an investment in staying out of the headlines, keeping customer trust, and sleeping easier at night knowing you have professionals watching your back. It’s similar to how you invest in quality control to protect your brand or insurance to protect your assets. Cybersecurity is now a fundamental part of doing business in the digital age. Done right, it can even be a competitive advantage (customers and partners certainly prefer businesses that take security seriously).
Finally, remember that MDR is not an all-or-nothing silver bullet, but it can dramatically tilt the odds in your favor. No security measure can guarantee zero incidents, but MDR significantly reduces the likelihood of a disastrous incident. It’s about risk reduction to an acceptable level. Each organization must define what “acceptable” risk is, and increasingly, boards are deciding that being totally blind to threats (hoping nothing bad happens) is not acceptable. They would rather invest in detection and response so that if something does happen, it’s caught and contained quickly.
In summary, MDR is worth the investment when the cost of an unmanaged risk exceeds the cost of the solution. For most mid-market organizations in today’s threat landscape, that equation comes out positive – often dramatically so. Security, like insurance, can feel like an expense until the day it saves your business. By approaching MDR with a clear view of both costs and potential avoided losses, you can make a well-informed decision. In the big picture, choosing MDR is about being proactive: taking control of your cyber risk posture, rather than crossing fingers and reacting after the fact. And as many breached companies would attest, it’s a decision you won’t regret when it matters most.
