An advanced cybersecurity solution designed to provide unified threat detection, investigation, and response across multiple security layers. Unlike traditional security tools that focus on isolated domains, such as endpoint detection (EDR), network traffic analysis, or email filtering, XDR aggregates and correlates data from across the IT environment.
The goal of XDR is to give security teams better visibility into sophisticated attacks that span multiple systems. By analyzing data from endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, and networks, XDR platforms can identify threats that might otherwise go unnoticed. They often incorporate AI and machine learning to automate correlation, reduce false positives, and prioritize critical alerts.
XDR also streamlines response by enabling automated playbooks, rapid containment of infected devices, and integration with security operations centers (SOCs). For organizations facing increasingly complex cyberattacks, XDR represents an evolution of security operations from reactive to proactive, delivering faster detection and remediation.
