Why
MDR Matters

Traditional endpoint and network security tools are valuable and set a strong foundation for most SMB protection. However, with the evolution of AI threats and cybercriminals becoming more prevalent, many compliant and high-risk organizations need to go a step beyond traditional strategy and tools.

Preferred’s Managed Detection & Response closes that gap.

We combine technology, data, and human insight to detect threats in real time and take immediate action to stop them.

How Preferred Helps

Our MDR program continuously monitors your environment for signs of suspicious or malicious behavior.

When a threat is detected, our SOC analysts investigate, contain, and remediate before it spreads.
