“Businesses today are faced with managing an increasingly vast attack surface due to the proliferation of cloud computing, IoT, and OT. As a result, the role of MDR providers has never been more critical,” said Hidehiko Tanaka, Head of Technology and Innovation, NTT DATA. “Being named a Leader in the 2025 MDR Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment by Everest Group is a testament to NTT DATA’s ongoing dedication to building capabilities and delivering cutting-edge security solutions for our customers.

"MDR services are becoming the cornerstone of modern cybersecurity strategies as enterprises face mounting complexity from expanding digital infrastructures. With growing cyber threats, a shortage of skilled professionals, and the need for cost-effective solutions, organizations are increasingly relying on MDR providers for proactive threat monitoring, seamless integrations, and rapid incident responses. This is especially true for mid-market clients, who often lack the necessary skills, budget, and tools to manage security in silos, making MDR a critical enabler of their cybersecurity resilience. Providers are focusing on leveraging AI and scalable solutions to enhance detection and response capabilities and improve overall security posture," says Kumar Avijit, Vice President at Everest Group.
Leaders in the MDR market demonstrate a proven ability to meet the diverse and evolving needs of enterprises by offering comprehensive, end-to-end MDR services. They integrate advanced technologies like GenAI, XDR and IT-OT security convergence for proactive threat detection, automated incident response, and seamless security operations. With a strong focus on co-innovation and partnerships with top tech providers, Leaders ensure broad market impact, consistent YoY growth and trust among enterprises navigating sophisticated cyber threats.
