Articles about mdr & managed security services from security operations practitioners.
I've written the checks for two managed security contracts and killed a third at renewal. Now I open every provider call with one question: what can your analysts do at 2 am without calling us first? The answer sorts the shortlist faster than any RFP spreadsheet.
I've run MDR evaluations at three growth stages, and every discovery call opens with the same questions: how many SOCs, how many analysts, which threat feeds, what ATT&CK coverage. Every vendor answers them cleanly, because vendors wrote the questions. None of them predict what happens when an alert fires at 2 am. The questions that do are about ownership, not features.
Practitioner takes on SOC modernization, detection engineering, threat hunting, and more. No fluff. No product pitches.
