In the world of threat detection and response, alert fatigue and tool sprawl are real problems. Security professionals are struggling to manage different tools and control points, and they still are relying on manual processes, which results in security that is fragmented and reactive. Analysts need better visibility and control, more context and more automation to cut through the noise and respond to threats faster and more effectively.
Extended detection and response (XDR) solutions promise to optimize the security operations center (SOC) by accomplishing all the above. To realize the benefits of XDR, organizations need to understand exactly what it is, as well as what needs to be considered for an impactful XDR implementation.
