Smarttech247 (AIM: S247), a multi-award-winning provider of AI-enhanced cybersecurity services delivering automated managed detection and response (MDR) for a portfolio of international clients, is pleased to announce it has been recognised for the second consecutive year in the Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) produced by Gartner, a leading research and advisory company.

The annual Gartner report is a recognised industry benchmark for organisations evaluating MDR service providers. The 2025 edition highlights that MDR services provide customers with remotely delivered, human-led, turnkey capabilities for threat disruption and containment. Gartner also notes that MDR services are now available from well over 600 providers, underlining the growing maturity and competitiveness of the market.

Gartner’s latest research emphasises that human-driven, outcome-focused MDR services are essential for effective threat detection and response. Turnkey threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) capabilities remain a core requirement for MDR buyers, who increasingly demand proactive identification and mitigation of threat exposures. As organisations mature their SOC operations and adopt AI-driven tools for active containment and disruption of threats, trust, transparency, and pathways to self-service have become critical factors in MDR provider selection.

These insights align closely with Smarttech247’s MDR approach. Powered by its technology-agnostic VisionX platform and proprietary AI Assistance, Smarttech247 combines advanced security technologies with expert human analysis to deliver scalable, outcome-driven MDR services. The company’s proactive threat hunting, exposure management, and data-centric methodology help organisations strengthen cyber resilience and accelerate their security operations without compromising on compliance or visibility.

Raluca Saceanu, CEO of Smarttech247, commented:

We are proud to be recognised once again by Gartner as a representative vendor for Managed Detection and Response. The inclusion of Smarttech247 for the second year running highlights our commitment to delivering human-led, AI-enhanced security operations that evolve in line with the industry’s needs.

“As MDR services continue to grow in importance, we remain dedicated to providing our clients with innovative, transparent and effective solutions to help them detect, contain and disrupt threats across their environments.”
