Hughes do Brasil, a subsidiary of Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), is expanding its cybersecurity portfolio with the launch of Hughes Cybersecurity & Managed Response and Detection Service (Managed Detection and Response & MDR). The new addition is part of the company's commitment to enhancing the digital security of its customers.
