Introducing XDR

XDR is a compilation of tools and technologies that work together to monitor and mitigate cyber security threats in an environment. Much like SIEM, it relies heavily on collecting data from multiple sources such as endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, and collaboration services. An EDR solution only monitors the endpoints onboarded to that solution, which will leave blind spots in comparison to an XDR. An XDR solution will then analyze and correlate said data to provide visibility and context and help reveal other threats using correlated data to help you identify in a more granular way what happened, which devices and users were involved in the incident, and whether there are any other cases that match that correlation throughout your environment.

So basically, an XDR is a security tool that helps you gain insights into your current environment and helps you mitigate threats found within it. Think of it as the next step in security, unifying all security services...
