Pondurance MDR (Managed Detection and Response) is a risk-based cybersecurity service that combines human analyst expertise with technology to detect, manage, and respond to cyber threats. The service centers on a risk-based methodology, meaning security activities are prioritized according to the likelihood and potential impact of threats to an organization, rather than against generic compliance checklists. This approach is designed to optimize spend and align security operations to business priorities. Key components include: - Ongoing cyber risk assessments with results accessible via a customized portal called MyCyberScorecard, available 24/7 - Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) services provided through the Pondurance Assurance Program - A consultative engagement model where solutions are tailored to each organization's compliance, cyber risk, and security requirements The service is positioned for organizations that lack internal resources or expertise to independently manage evolving cyber threats. Rather than an all-or-nothing pricing model, Pondurance offers modular pricing so clients pay for the specific services they need. Pondurance is listed in the Gartner 2024 Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response as the only risk-based MDR vendor in the report. The service incorporates both artificial intelligence/machine learning capabilities and human analyst involvement to support threat identification and response.
