MDR Services FAQs
What does MDR include for a small or mid-sized business?
MDR, or Managed Detection and Response, focuses on monitoring for suspicious activity and helping coordinate response when potential threats are detected. For GAN clients, this may include 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring through a staffed Security Operations Center, alert review, escalation guidance, and support from a local IT team that understands your environment. The exact scope should be matched to your systems, risk level, and managed IT plan.
Is MDR the same as traditional antivirus software?
No. Antivirus tools focus on blocking or identifying known malicious files, while MDR is designed to watch for broader signs of suspicious behavior across your environment. MDR can help improve visibility when attackers use stolen credentials, unusual access patterns, or activity that a single endpoint tool may not fully explain.
Do we need MDR if we already have a firewall and email security?
Many businesses benefit from MDR even when they already have firewalls and email security in place. Those tools are important controls, but they do not replace ongoing monitoring and response coordination. MDR helps connect security activity across systems so unusual behavior can be reviewed more quickly and with better context.
Can MDR help reduce downtime from cyber incidents?
MDR can help reduce the chance that suspicious activity goes unnoticed for long periods, which may limit the impact of some incidents. It cannot guarantee that downtime will never happen or that every attack will be stopped. It does, however, give your business a more active way to detect, escalate, and respond when something looks wrong.
Who is a good fit for GAN’s MDR services?
GAN’s MDR services are a strong fit for businesses with roughly 10 to 75 employees that rely heavily on technology but do not have a full internal security team. This includes professional services, legal firms, CPA and accounting offices, insurance agencies, construction or manufacturing companies, and engineering or architecture firms. Businesses in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and the broader Hampton Roads area often choose GAN when they want local support paired with stronger monitoring.
How does onboarding for MDR work?
GAN begins by learning how your business operates, reviewing your current systems, and identifying where security visibility needs improvement. From there, the team plans the monitoring setup, related security improvements, and communication process so your staff knows what to expect. The process is designed to be organized and low-disruption, with GAN handling the technical work while keeping your team informed.
