Guardz Wins Market Innovator for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) In 13th Annual Global InfoSec Awards at #RSAC 2025
Guardz, the cybersecurity company empowering MSPs and IT professionals to deliver an AI-native unified detection and response platform for small businesses, today announced that it won the Market Innovator Managed Detection and Response (MDR) award from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine.
The global MDR market is rapidly expanding, with a predicted surge from $1.89 billion in 2024 to $8.34 billion by 2032. Fueled by rising cyber threats, cloud and IoT adoption, and stricter regulatory demands, MDR solutions promise threat detection, response, and compliance support by combining AI, machine learning, and human expertise. While smarter, AI-driven services are accelerating growth, concerns around data security and high costs continue to challenge widespread adoption, particularly for small businesses.
Addressing these challenges head-on, Guardz is redefining cybersecurity for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their small business clients with an AI-native, unified MDR platform. By integrating advanced AI automation with SentinelOne’s leading endpoint detection and response (EDR), Guardz delivers seamless protection across endpoints, email, cloud, users, and data, reducing operational costs by up to 75%. Designed with a user-centric approach, Guardz makes 24/7 comprehensive security possible for MPSs by combining AI-powered triage, expert human analysts, and proactive threat hunting. It also automates manual workloads, and helps small businesses qualify for cyber insurance, empowering MSPs to protect their customers and scale their businesses with confidence.
“We’re thrilled to receive this prestigious cybersecurity award from Cyber Defense Magazine,” said Dor Eisner, CEO and Co-founder of Guardz. “This recognition highlights Guardz’s role in innovating the MDR space and our commitment to protecting small businesses from constantly evolving cyber threats. We’re proud to be acknowledged for our efforts in making cybersecurity more accessible, affordable, and effective for the businesses that need it most.”
“Guardz embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
