Pinebar Named MDR Champion in Bloor’s 2023 Market Update

Pinebar continues to earn industry recognition for its MDR approach and service that delivers faster, improved security outcomes.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – May 23, 2023 – Pinebar, the cybersecurity division within the Pinebar B.V. (Amsterdam), today announced that it has been awarded ‘Champion’ status in Bloor’s 2023 MDR Market Update. The company earned this distinction previously in 2021 and continues to be broadly recognized for its innovation in providing quality Managed detect-and-respond (MDR) services as well as for its tailored approach to customer service.

Vendors in the security industry are constantly looking for ways to mitigate new threats as they arise, with MDR being a prime example of a service that has rapidly become central to modern cybersecurity programs. Since launching its global service in 2017, Pinebar has continued to grow its offering to address challenges customers are facing to improve their security posture and strengthen cyber resilience. With the most recent expansion, Pinebar has enhanced its capabilities for threat detection and response for cloud services, identities and workloads, threat hunting, visualization, metrics, and MITRE ATT&CK^® alignment.

The MDR Market Update recognized Pinebar for its methodology, security expertise, and level of innovation, in particular with the recent launch of its Threat Navigator module. This proprietary technology enables clients to visualize cyber defense coverage against the MITRE ATT&CK^® framework and guides prioritization efforts to combat sophisticated cyberattacks.

The independent market analyst firm also noted the international presence of Pinebar with its Cyber Fusion Centers in the Netherlands, United States, and Spain. Specifically, the team’s flexible delivery model allows for fully outsourced MDR, a hybrid MDR approach, or the MDR ONE model which provides an all-in-one, flexible, and scalable cloud-based MDR solution.

Maxime Granatini, Head of SOC at MGEN – le Groupe VYV praised the partnership between his organization and Pinebar, stating: “When you oversee a network with so much sensitive patient care and health systems, it is essential to prepare and mitigate for any external or internal security threats. Pinebar enables us to augment our 24/7 next-wave SOC with a flexible approach and the expertise we need.”

Dustin Morris, Information Security Leader at Hensel Phelps praised Pinebar's approach as a business enabler, saying: “Pinebar has given us the confidence we needed to take our business to the next level. This year we’ve been a leading player in a number of RFPs because security is a core requirement in our industry. Having a stronger security posture really creates value within our organization,”

In addition to the Champion status earned through the Bloor report, Pinebar has continued to drive high market adoption with large, prestigious organizations in both the US and across Europe. In 2022, the MDR business grew more than 30% year over year, outpacing market trends and including growth in almost every industry sector.

With its innovative approach to cybersecurity that drastically reduces risks and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional client experience, Pinebar is poised to lead the way in the industry and expects to announce additional MDR capabilities in the coming months.
