Field Effect Launches MDR Core Cybersecurity Solution for Small Businesses

On October 16, 2024, Field Effect, a global cybersecurity solutions provider based in Ottawa, announced the upcoming launch of its MDR Core solution. This innovative offering is designed specifically for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to enhance their cybersecurity capabilities for a diverse range of clients, from small businesses to larger organizations. The solution aims to streamline security operations by replacing or complementing over 15 existing tools, thereby simplifying the management of network, endpoint, and cloud security. Field Effect's MDR Core is particularly tailored for MSPs serving clients with fewer than 50 users and less complex IT environments. It features an endpoint detection and response (EDR) system that utilizes a kernel-based agent, which has been a hallmark of Field Effect's technology. Additionally, the solution includes managed detection and response (MDR) services for popular platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The CEO and Founder of Field Effect, Matt Holland, emphasized that the development of MDR Core was driven by feedback from partners, highlighting the company's commitment to addressing the needs of its MSP partners. This proactive approach to cybersecurity is intended to empower MSPs to enhance their clients' security posture and effectively combat both known and emerging cyber threats. Currently, the MDR Core solution is available to select partners, with a broader rollout planned for January 2025, marking a significant step in Field Effect's mission to protect businesses of all sizes from cyber threats.
