This case study of Traditional Medicinals is based on a March 2022 survey of Rapid7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services & Solutions customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“The impact Rapid7s MDR program has had on our organization is that originally, we really didn’t have a program and when a partner of ours was hit with a ransomware attack we determined that we really had to move to a managed detection service. After speaking with a few different groups we decided that Rapid7 would be the best partner for my team. We are not experts in cyber security and we know we would be relaying heavily on our partner. At the time it seemed, and has proven to be true, that Rapid7 was going to work with us not just provide a tool.”

“Without Rapid7 MDR, our team wouldn’t even know where to begin in fixing our environment to protect the company from bad actors.”
