" We are delighted to be named as a representative vendor for MDR in Gartner's latest report. As the report recognises, the global MDR market is estimated to be worth USD 4.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 11.8 billion by 2029, a CAGR of 23.5%. Here at Smarttech247 we recognise this and continue to evolve and adapt our MDR platform, VisionX, to keep ahead of cyber threats, ensuring our clients have effective mitigation and threat detection at all levels."
