Executive Summary
Cyber threats have evolved, and so must our defenses. Traditional MDR offerings—while 
useful—are limited to reactive incident response and passive threat monitoring. In 
contrast, Infopercept’s Real MDR solution goes far beyond by offering a consolidated 
and integrated platform that merges detection, response, proactive exposure reduction, 
remediation, and compliance into a single service. Powered by the Invinsense platform, 
Real MDR is not just a tool—it’s an ecosystem for cyber resilience.

The Evolution of MDR:
From Reactive to Proactive
MDR originated as an extension to managed security services, with a focus on detecting 
anomalies and alerting clients about suspicious activity. However, today’s threat 
landscape demands:
Proactive 
identification of 
exposures
Validation of 
controls
Integrated Engineering-level 
compliance remediation of 
oversight vulnerabilities
Real MDR is the natural evolution that combines these 
demands into one seamless model.

Buying Considerations and Evaluation 
Criteria
When evaluating MDR vendors, ask:
Does the MDR support exposure management or just detection?
Are deception technologies included to detect stealthy attackers?
Is there a unified platform or a patchwork of third-party tools?
Does the service provide code-level remediation support?
Can the MDR simulate real attacks continuously?

Questions to Ask MDR Providers
How do you validate that my controls work?
Can you simulate real attacker behavior continuously?
How is application remediation handled?
Do you provide visibility into my external attack surface?
How is compliance managed and reported?
Do you support cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments?
Is threat intelligence contextualized or generic?
Can your MDR align with DevSecOps processes?
