Extended Detection & Response (XDR)
‘Through 2025, policy misconfigurations, not firewall flaws, will remain the cause of 99% of firewall breaches and bypasses.’ Gartner
The fight between threat evolution and detection has been ongoing for some time now. Initially, signature-based anti-virus software was used to block static malware, but as malware authors began using more advanced, polymorphic techniques, the use of next-generation anti-virus software that employed machine learning became more widespread. However, even advanced behavioral detection methods aren't foolproof. This led to the rise in popularity of endpoint detection and response solutions in the market. Yet, not only endpoints are affected.
To achieve the most thorough visibility in threat detection, it is essential to gather security data from endpoints, network traffic, and selected log data. By integrating this data, you can quickly develop a complete and accurate incident detection and response strategy. Businesses require a centralised solution that can efficiently collect the most valuable security data from networks, endpoints, and cloud environments. Doing so will enable them to take a more holistic approach to detecting and responding to security threats.
The Advantages of XDR Security
In today's digital landscape, detecting and responding to advanced threats is no longer a matter of utilising a collection of point solutions.
XDR security offers a comprehensive approach to advanced threat detection and response.
Streamlining a high volume of alerts into a smaller number of actionable incidents that can be prioritized for manual investigation
Providing integrated incident response options that harness context from all security components to resolve alerts more efficiently
Delivering comprehensive protection that goes beyond infrastructure control points, encompassing network, cloud, and endpoints
Automating repetitive tasks to optimise productivity
Reducing the need for extensive training and up-leveling Tier 1 support by providing a consistent management and workflow experience across security components
Supplying quality detection content that requires minimal tuning
XDR enhances critical SOC functions when responding to an attack in their environment.
Detection: Combining endpoint telemetry with a variety of security controls providers, as well as security events collected and analysed by security information and analytic platforms, to identify more meaningful threats.
Investigation: Correlating all relevant threat information using a human-machine team approach, and applying situational security context to quickly reduce signal from noise, and assist with the identification of root cause.
Recommendations: Providing analysts with prescriptive recommendations to facilitate an investigation through additional queries, as well as offering relevant response actions that would most effectively improve the containment or remediation of a detected risk or threat.
Hunting: Offering a common query capability across a data repository containing multi-vendor sensor telemetry in search of suspicious threat behaviors. This allows threat hunters to locate and action recommendations.
