Managed-Detection and Response meist mehr Schein als Sein
Ein Blick hinter die Fassade vieler MDR-Services. Managed-Detection and Response (MDR) ist der neue Hype der IT-Sicherheitsbranche. Kaum ein Systemhaus, das nicht plötzlich MDR im Portfolio hat. Was sich hinter diesem Label verbirgt, ist oft enttäuschend: vollautomatisierte EDR- oder XDR-Lösungen mit dem Etikett ‘Managed”, das in Wahrheit kaum mehr bedeutet, als dass ein Dienstleister Herstellerlösungen lizensiert…

Posture ≠Protection
CSPM, DSPM, ASPM, SSPM, ESPM, the alphabet soup of Security Posture Management (SPM) tools promises visibility into risk. They map misconfigurations, surface exposure paths and highlight policy gaps. That can be useful. But let’s not confuse awareness with action. They don’t block threats.They don’t enforce controls.They don’t prevent breaches. SPMs detect, then delegate. A ticket.…
