Pondurance, a leader in Managed Detection and Response (MDR), announced the addition of a warranty program available to select MDR clients on August 1. The warranty, with support from HSB, enables eligible customers to receive reimbursement for eligible expenses in the event of a security incident while using the covered MDR services.

The addition reflects a full-lifecycle approach to cyber risk. Pondurance MDR reduces the likelihood of an attack through continuous monitoring and proactive threat hunting. The existing MDR Assurance Program limits the impact of an incident by putting digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) analysts on a suspected incident immediately and at no charge.

Although Pondurance MDR provides continuous, end-to-end detection and response, no cybersecurity solution can prevent 100% of cyber attacks. According to Verizon’s 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report, ransomware is involved in 48% of all breaches. For most organizations, the practical question is no longer whether an incident will occur, but how quickly they can contain, respond, and recover from it, and how much of the resulting cost they will have to absorb.

“The threat landscape has made resilience a business requirement rather, and will further accelerate this requirement as AI threats evolve; customers want a partner who reduces risk before an incident, responds decisively during one, and helps carry the financial weight of recovery afterward — which is what these three elements together are designed to do.”

— Doug Howard, CEO, Pondurance

A Complete Approach to Cyber Resilience

Reduce the likelihood of an attack with continuous security operations:

  • Pondurance MDR, supported by a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC)

  • Managed EDR, log, and managed network services

  • Proactive threat hunting initiated by the SOC

Reduce the impact of an attack with immediate response and financial support if a covered security breach occurs.

The MDR Assurance Program — Every Pondurance MDR client receives up to five hours of DFIR analysis per suspected incident, at no charge, standard in every Pondurance MDR agreement

  • The MDR warranty — with select MDR packages, up to $250,000 in reimbursement for certain expenses in event of a covered security breach while using the MDR services.

When a security event is suspected — whether the customer raises the concern, the Pondurance MDR platform flags the activity, or the SOC initiates a hunt through the Pondurance MDR Assurance Program — DFIR analysts engage immediately to determine whether an incident occurred.

Covered expenses may include network event response costs such as forensics, legal guidance, breach notification; cyber extortion–related expenses such as negotiation services and sanctions checks; crisis management and public relations support; ransomware negotiations, system and data restoration; repair or replacement of hardware damaged by malware, etc. Coverage limits are up to $100,000 at the Secure and Defend tiers and up to $250,000 at the Fortify tier.

The warranty is available now with select Pondurance MDR packages in the United States. Customers and prospects should confirm with their Pondurance account team whether their package carries this coverage. Pondurance pilot and proof-of-concept engagements are not eligible for warranty or assurance coverage.
