Rapid7 Inc. announced its collaboration with Comcast Business in support of the recently announced Comcast Business Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution. The solution leverages Rapid7?s security analytics platform and expertise to help small, medium, and large enterprise customers better manage an ever-evolving and challenging cyber threat landscape. Managed Detection and Response is a cybersecurity service that combines technology and human expertise to perform cyber threat hunting, monitoring, and incident response.

One of the primary benefits of MDR is its ability to assist with rapidly identifying threats, detecting incidents, responding to and eliminating advanced threats early in the attack chain to keep organizations secure from endpoint to cloud without the need for additional staffing. The Rapid7 MDR platform includes Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) and Ransomware Prevention, which stops malware and ransomware attacks at the earliest stages of the attack chain, minimizing impact to an alert, before it becomes an incident.
