AI Is Rewriting Security Operations. Are Managed Detection and Response Solutions Keeping Up?

AI is transforming security operations — but most MDR pricing hasn't caught up. Modern AI-powered security platforms can now triage thousands of alerts automatically, investigate suspicious activity faster than traditional workflows, and escalate only the threats that need human attention. That efficiency should be driving costs down. So why do managed detection and response solutions still feel like a premium upgrade?
