Market snapshot
These figures describe Managed Detection & Response (MDR) (9.1.7), the segment that MDR Platform Providers sits within. They are not figures for MDR Platform Providers on its own.
Not separately classified. The most acquirable segment in cybersecurity: recurring contracts, mid-market customers who will never staff a security team, and enough fragmentation to build a platform by acquisition. The constraint is analyst supply, which is why buyers pay for tooling that raises alerts handled per head.
