Managed detection and response (MDR): symptom or solution?

The article argues that Managed Detection and Response (MDR) grew out of customers' dissatisfaction with traditional MSSPs and is better framed as a symptom of MSSPs' failures rather than a long-term market; it praises MDRs for modern, endpoint-centric threat detection and adversary-oriented work but criticizes them for not integrating with existing security investments, focusing too much on advanced threats, lacking compliance and security-operations breadth, and often creating duplicate costs.
