Extended Detection and Response (XDR)

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is an open cybersecurity architecture used for threat detection and incident response that automatically collects and correlates data from multiple security layers. By consolidating information about threats related to email, endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, and networks, IT and cybersecurity teams can improve detection, investigation, and response times.

This integrated approach to cybersecurity goes beyond the endpoints to offer holistic protection across the organization’s entire technology infrastructure.
