XDR: What is it and why should your customers use it?

Managed Extended Detection and Response (XDR) services are a valuable addition for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) aiming to enhance their cybersecurity offerings.

By integrating managed XDR into their portfolio, MSPs can provide a comprehensive solution that proactively detects, responds to, and mitigates threats across endpoints, networks, servers, and cloud environments. Unlike traditional security tools, XDR consolidates multiple data sources into a unified platform, improving visibility and response efficiency.

Extended detection response or XDR isn’t just another cybersecurity acronym. It provides a service that reduces response time to threats, improves cyber hygiene, and gives you a clear view of all your endpoints for increased visibility.

The benefits of partnering

Partnering with a managed XDR provider allows MSPs to deliver advanced security capabilities without the need for extensive in-house resources or expertise. This service includes 24/7 monitoring, automated threat detection, and expert-led incident response, which significantly reduces response times and minimises the impact of cyber incidents on clients. For MSPs, this translates into improved client trust, lower risks, and reduced operational burdens.

Furthermore, managed XDR services create opportunities for MSPs to differentiate themselves in a competitive market by offering enterprise-grade security to SMBs that may lack the budget or expertise for in-house cybersecurity. By providing scalable, efficient security solutions, MSPs can attract new clients, retain existing ones, and increase revenue streams. Ultimately, managed XDR helps MSPs grow by expanding their capabilities, reducing client churn, and positioning themselves as trusted cybersecurity partners.

Explaining the value of managed XDR services and their various components can be complex. 

That's why Barracuda have put together a series of resources to help you learn about XDR and how to position it to your customers.

MSPs are invited to watch this webinar themselves, or to share it with their customers and prospects to increase their awareness of XDR and its benefits to their organisation. The content is ideal for CISOs, IT managers, security professionals, and business leaders seeking to enhance their organisation’s cybersecurity measures and resilience against cyber threats.
