From credential-stuffing campaigns to deepfake-enabled impersonation and cloud configuration leaks, the modern attack surface has moved beyond the network—identity itself has become the new perimeter. As organizations migrate to hybrid environments and adopt more SaaS applications, the challenge isn’t just keeping pace with attackers but doing so amid a global cybersecurity talent shortage. The growing reliance on Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services reflects a practical response to talent gaps, with the MDR market estimated at $4.19 billion in 2025 and expected to reach $11.30 billion by 2030.
