Is an MDR a SIEM?

A quick answer to a common question about managed detection and response (MDR).

No. Managed detection and response (MDR) is a service where analysts monitor, investigate, and respond to threats for you. Security information and event management (SIEM) is technology that stores and searches security data. Exaforce MDR runs on a platform with a built-in security data lake that analysts and Exabots share.
