In the second part of this blog series on Unscrambling Cybersecurity Acronyms, we covered Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (MEDR) solutions, which included an overview of the evolution of endpoint security solutions. In this blog, we’ll go over Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) … [Read more...] about Unscrambling Cybersecurity Acronyms – The ABCs of MDR and XDR Security
XDR
Debunking the Myth of XDR
One of the biggest buzzwords (or really, buzz acronyms) to pop up in the cybersecurity space in recent years is XDR, or, extended detection and response. The term was coined in 2018 by Nir Zuk, CTO and co-founder of Palo Alto Networks. It was posited as a new way to think about security, where data is taken from several platforms and it gets correlated and analyzed. There are … [Read more...] about Debunking the Myth of XDR
Why XDR Should Be on Your SOC Roadmap
Fighting modern adversaries requires having a modern security operations center (SOC), especially as organizations move to the cloud. To protect their estates against tomorrow’s threats, security professionals have often turned to more data sources and adding more security monitoring tools in their operations, both in the pursuit of maximizing their attack surface visibility … [Read more...] about Why XDR Should Be on Your SOC Roadmap

How The Right XDR Can Be a Game-Changer for Lean Security Teams
Extended detection and response (XDR) is expected to be the future of cybersecurity, merging security technologies with the evolving approach to the way we do cybersecurity. And while many organizations are scrambling to integrate XDR into their cybersecurity strategies – even more are still trying to figure out what XDR really is and if it's even the right solution for their … [Read more...] about How The Right XDR Can Be a Game-Changer for Lean Security Teams
Why the Most Effective XDR is Rooted in EDR
Extended detection and response (XDR) solutions deliver powerful capabilities to help security teams fight adversaries by increasing visibility, simplifying operations and accelerating identification and remediation across the security stack. XDR platforms gather and aggregate security data from a variety of sources to help detect and contain advanced attacks. But when it comes … [Read more...] about Why the Most Effective XDR is Rooted in EDR
