What's XDR? Extended Detection & Response, Explained

Extended detection and response (XDR) is a technology approach that aims to provide holistic protection of endpoints. XDR technology is able to: In this in-depth article, let’s look at how XDR solutions work and what they help with. We’ll also look at limitations inherent in XDR and how they compare to other security tools, like SIEM and SOAR.

When Solving the XDR Puzzle, Focus on the Problems You Must Fix

If you’re confused about cybersecurity tools and product categories, join the club. Security market confusion is a major side effect of years of increasingly sophisticated security threats and vendor innovation designed to prevent and respond to them. Add to that the growing use of AI and machine learning by both attackers and defenders and you have what can look like a vendor free-for-all.

Implementing Managed XDR Services: Best Practices

As the complexity and sophistication of cybersecurity threats increase, businesses across all sectors are seeking effective solutions to protect their critical data and digital infrastructures. One emerging solution is Extended Detection and Response (XDR), an integrated suite of security products that collectively provide preventive, detective, and responsive capabilities. As organisations in the UK increasingly consider this approach, let's delve into the best practices for implementing managed XDR services.

Boost Detection and Response with Cybereason and Sysdig

The Gartner 2021 Hype Cycle for Cloud reports 99% of breaches start with cloud misconfigurations. Thus, having a philosophy of protecting just traditional endpoints – servers, laptops, desktop PCs, and mobile devices – with EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) software is not enough. Sysdig has teamed up with multiple security organizations in the cloud security ecosystem to offer comprehensive security solutions.

Undecrypting the cybersecurity alphabet soup: MDR vs. XDR

XDR and MDR are cybersecurity solutions to enhance an organization's threat identification and response capabilities. While both solutions target the same objective, they employ different approaches. MDR strengthens an organization's internal security team with external expertise, whereas XDR streamlines security architecture through a centralized dashboard and automation of tedious tasks.

CrowdStrike Expands XDR Ecosystem to Give Customers a Data Advantage

Cybersecurity is fundamentally a data problem. As adversary techniques continue to mature, organizations still struggle to collect the right data from all their security and IT point products to detect and respond to evolving threats. CrowdStrike offers a clear data advantage in the cybersecurity market.
