CLEVELAND, Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Binary Defense, the trusted leader in Managed Detection and Response (MDR), has been recognized as a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Managed Detection And Response Services, Q1 2025. The report evaluated top MDR providers across 21 criteria.
Binary Defense received the highest scores possible from Forrester in three critical criteria: Detection Surface: Endpoint, Threat Hunting, and Community. The report notes that "Binary Defense's strategy places a huge emphasis on contributing to — and using information from — the broader cybersecurity community." It further states that the company "engages with the community more actively and effectively than most other providers."
Attacker's Mindset:
In Binary Defense's vendor profile, the report states:
"Binary Defense differentiates itself from other providers via its deep understanding of how attackers operate to inform how it approaches detection, investigation, and response. Binary Defense is a great choice for organizations of any size looking for a provider that uses the mindset of an attacker to inform how defenders should operate."
With managed deception capabilities, a patent-pending malware disruption feature, and expert-driven threat hunting, Binary Defense goes beyond traditional MDR, actively working to outmaneuver adversaries. The report notes: "its use of managed deception capabilities on its endpoint agent and a patent-pending feature for malware disruption showcase the provider's clear understanding of where defenders can gain an advantage."
Trusted by Clients for Rapid Response and Deep Expertise:
Binary Defense's customers emphasize responsiveness, adaptability, and early threat detection as key reasons they trust the company as their Managed Detection and Response partner. Unlike MDR providers that focus on automation alone, Binary Defense combines advanced analytics with human-driven intelligence, ensuring threats are rapidly identified, investigated, and mitigated.
"Cyber threats aren't static – they evolve every day. Defenders need an MDR partner that understands how attackers think and operate," said David Kennedy, Chief Hacking Officer of Binary Defense. "For us, this recognition from Forrester validates our approach of bringing a unique offensive security mindset to help organizations detect, disrupt, and respond faster. We're committed to continuing to innovate and ensuring our clients stay ahead of threats."
