Wednesday, October 13, 2021

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The volume of data organizations collect is rarely matched by their ability to manage it. This data boom, combined with the recent multiplication of touchpoints and vulnerabilities, has made it all the more critical for organizations to implement a solution that gives them deep visibility into all of their assets. Extended detection and response (XDR) solutions are effective for adapting to a constantly evolving threat landscape. XDR combines the strengths of security information and event management (SIEM), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and network detection and response (NDR) to facilitate rapid detection and response, automation, and analytics.

Key Points: 
  • Extended detection and response (XDR) solutions are effective for adapting to a constantly evolving threat landscape.
  • XDR combines the strengths of security information and event management (SIEM), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and network detection and response (NDR) to facilitate rapid detection and response, automation, and analytics.
  • It compares the value of conventional solutions with XDR and evaluates its role in driving business growth.
  • This results in unparalleled visibility and efficiency in security management and incident response and detection," noted Ben Smith, Field Chief Technology Officer at NetWitness.
