When selecting a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider, many organizations inadvertently relinquish control over their data, detections, and playbooks. This whitepaper exposes the pitfalls of proprietary MDR models—and outlines how to protect your organization from vendor lock-in, false promises, and limited integrations.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “black box” MDR platforms put your data ownership and flexibility at risk

  • How an Open XDR approach keeps your detections, automations, and playbooks fully yours

  • The importance of security tool co-management to maximize your existing investments

  • How to identify MDR partners that deliver true expertise—not quantity over quality

  • What separates service-driven providers from those focused on SaaS expansion

Gain practical insight into what to look for in a partner who empowers your team, supports your environment, and grows with your security maturity.

Take control of your data—and your defense.
