As we get closer to closing out 2022, the talk in the market continues to swirl around extended detection and response (XDR) solutions. What are they? What are the benefits? Should my team adopt XDR, and if yes, how do we evaluate vendors to determine the best approach?
While there continue to be many different definitions of XDR in the market, the common themes around this technology consistently are:
Tightly integrated security products delivering common threat prevention, detection, and incident response capabilitiesOut-of-the-box operational efficiencies that require minimal customizationSecurity orchestration and automation functions to streamline repetitive processes and accelerate responseHigh-quality detection content with limited tuning requiredAdvanced analytics that can correlate alerts from multiple sources into incidentsSimply put, XDR is an evolution of the security ecosystem in order to provide elevated and stronger security for resource-constrained security teams.
XDR for 2023
Why is XDR the preferred cybersecurity solution? With an ever-expanding attack surface and diverse and complex threats, security operations centers (SOCs) need more visibility and stronger threat coverage across their environment – without creating additional pockets of siloed data from point solutions.
A 2022 study of security leaders found that the average security team is now managing 76 different tools – with sprawl driven by a need to keep pace with cloud adoption and remote working requirements. Because of the exponential growth of tools, security teams are spending more than half their time manually producing reports, pulling in data from multiple silo ..
