It caught the attack. It fired five separate alerts. Then nothing happened, because the system could watch, but it couldn't act.\n\nThat gap between detecting a threat and stopping it is where most MDR contracts fail their buyers. Max Clark recently evaluated a well known provider for ITBroker.com's own portfolio and found the same gap hiding under the brand name: full \"Managed Detection and Response\" on paper, watch and email in practice. He breaks down why that one distinction decides whether you're protected or just informed, and the exact questions that expose which one you actually bought.\n\nThe Playbook\n\nResources Mentioned\nCrowdStrike breakout time research, the source behind this episode's attacker speed numbers, showing how much faster breakouts have gotten since 2021.\nMandiant dwell time research, the source behind the dwell time and ransomware-specific recovery figures cited in the episode.\nA real cyber insurance ransomware claims study, the source behind the recovery time and claim size comparison between self managed EDR and real MDR.\nAbout Signed\nSigned is the podcast for buyers in a market built for sellers.
