Managed EDR: What It Is & How to Choose a Provider
Huntress outlines differences between managed and unmanaged EDR and offers guidance on evaluating managed detection and response providers.
The Huntress blog explains how EDR provides endpoint visibility, detection, and response, and contrasts self-managed EDR with vendor- or MSP-delivered managed EDR. It notes unmanaged deployments require in-house staffing to tune and triage high alert volumes, while managed EDR supplies expert investigation and reduced alert fatigue at the cost of less control and third-party visibility. The post lists questions for evaluating providers, including analyst training, monitoring and investigation processes, and false-positive handling.
- Managed EDR shifts setup, tuning, and alert triage to vendor or MSP security teams.
- Unmanaged EDR demands in-house expertise and can cause alert fatigue without proper staffing.
- Recommends vetting provider training, monitoring processes, and false-positive handling.
