CSO Online – Jon Gold
Palo Alto Networks this week announced the immediate availability of Unit 42 Managed Detection and Response (MDR), a service providing on-call cybersecurity specialists to track and respond to security threats in real time.

The idea is to back Palo Altoâs existing automated Cortex extended detection and response (XDR) platform with human expertise, dedicating members of the companyâs threat response team and others to minimizing unnecessary alerts and prioritizing those from serious threats. Itâs a response, the company said in a statement, to an increasingly advanced and complicated threat environmentâas well as an in-house security landscape that, in many cases, hasnât matured to match.

The core part of the offering is continuous monitoring and responseâPalo Altoâs experts keep watch on events and alerts around the clock, using the companyâs in-house processes and infrastructure to detect and respond to potential threats more quickly and accurately.
