Not everyone who works there can go everywhere. Employees can access the building entrance, their own floor, and the meeting rooms they need, but they can’t (and shouldn’t be able to) walk into the server room, access executive offices, or wander freely across every floor. This may seem restrictive, but it’s simply how safety and order are maintained.

Gartner notes that while more than 600 providers worldwide claim to offer MDR services, only a small group are included in the Market Guide. Being named a Representative Vendor is not a ranking or comparative evaluation — but we believe it reflects the human-driven approach of Bitdefender’s MDR offering and our ongoing alignment with the rigorous Gartner inclusion criteria.

This deserialization flaw, with a CVSSv3.1 score of 9.8, enables unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code across affected networks, leading to full system compromise. Bitdefender's combined MDR (Managed Detection and Response) investigations and Bitdefender Labs' telemetry research have confirmed the active exploitation of this vulnerability in the wild, with detections observed from numerous countries, including the US, Canada, Austria, Jordan, Mexico, Germany, South Africa, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

This involves understanding your internet-facing assets, including websites, APIs, cloud applications, domains, and other related components, as well as their associated vulnerabilities. Identifying unknown, forgotten, outdated, or misconfigured assets is critical. Failure to manage these exposed points leaves your organization vulnerable; this is like leaving a back gate unlocked. These unmanaged external surfaces are prime targets for attackers who constantly scan for exposed systems.

Bitdefender’s 2025 Cybersecurity Assessment Report provides a timely, data-focused snapshot of the current state of cybersecurity. Two data sources drive the findings: an independent survey of more than 1,200 IT and security professionals across the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, and Singapore; and a Bitdefender Labs analysis of 700,000 cyber incidents. This year, the third annual report reveals critical truths behind today’s evolving risks, internal challenges, and operational blind spots.

Yet, this vision of a machine-driven utopia is more fiction than reality. Over-reliance on machines, far from creating a perfect society like in The Jetsons, could lead us down a path resembling the dystopian future portrayed in Wall-E. In that film, humanity is depicted as having lost its creativity, independence, and critical thinking, becoming complacent and dependent on technology—a stark warning of what happens when humans relinquish too much control to automation.

Back in 2017, it was estimated that less than 1% of organizations had outsourced some part of their security services to an MDR.  This number has grown significantly over the past few years as the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for MDR notes that “MDR mind share increased 29.14% year over year with MDR adoption growth increasing 67% from 2021 through 2022.”  We think this growth stems not just from general recognition in the market, but out of a need for organizations to get help for their security teams. Bitdefender saw in our 2024 Cybersecurity Assessment Report, 71% of respondents feel that their security solutions have not lived up to the promised hype, while 64% of security practitioners were considering new job opportunities over the next year. Security teams are overworked and need help, and many organizations are turning to MDRs.
