Understanding the Gartner Magic Quadrant and MDR The Gartner Magic Quadrant is a trusted market research report that categorizes technology vendors into Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries, and Niche Players. Its goal? To empower IT leaders with structured insights for making informed decisions. However, there’s no Magic Quadrant for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services yet. Instead, Gartner provides a Market Guide for MDR, offering security leaders foundational insights into MDR partnerships—though without the detailed analysis found in a Magic Quadrant. How Gartner Crafts the Magic Quadrant Gartner’s methodology includes: 1?? Identifying viable markets – Like the $4.1B MDR market, which is projected to grow to $12B by 2029. 2?? Selecting vendors – Based on criteria like market share and client base. 3?? Defining criteria – Analyzing vendors' completeness of vision and ability to execute. 4?? Researching – Through interviews, surveys, and public data reviews. 5?? Publishing results – A comprehensive evaluation of vendors’ market positioning. While MDR lacks a Magic Quadrant today, Gartner’s methodology ensures that when published, it will deliver precise, actionable insights. Are you ready to explore how MDR solutions can protect your organization? Let’s discuss! https://lnkd.in/gHEgE5wq #MDR #Cybersecurity #GartnerMagicQuadrant #MarketInsights

?? Breaking News in Cybersecurity: Pharmacy Group Faces Double Ransom Demand ?? The ransomware gang Embargo is targeting American Associated Pharmacies (AAP), threatening to release 1.5TB of sensitive data unless a second ransom payment is made. Despite already paying $1.3 million for a decryptor key, AAP is now faced with another demand of $1.3 million. Michael Hamilton, Field CISO at #Lumifi, commented on the situation, highlighting a concerning trend in ransomware tactics: ?? "The aggressive shakedown for a second payment suggests a glut of records on dark markets, causing a drop in value. This underscores the need for a federal privacy law that supersedes state statutes, as these actors leverage the threat of class action lawsuits to pressure victims." The healthcare sector remains a prime target for these attacks. Without stronger data privacy protections, organizations may continue to face severe financial and reputational damages. ??
