What is XDR?Įxtended Detection and Response (XDR) is one of the latest security industry buzz words and, like most emerging product spaces, it means different things to different organizations. How do we combine the visibility provided by our endpoint detection and response tool with that provided by our network intrusion detection tool? How do we use our firewall to mitigate a threat discovered by our DNS security tool? These silos are now making it harder to solve our problems.
While the security industry has done a good job of addressing threats, we have often done so with point solutions. One of these needs is greater integration of our existing sets of security tools. As we continue to move into the cloud, work from home, and otherwise continue the digital transformation of our businesses, additional capabilities are needed as new threats are discovered.
In fact, it’s hard to think of a time that security has been moving more quickly.
