CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR™ and CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale™ were hot topics at Fal.Con 2022. We weren’t surprised — both are transformational technologies. They’re also complementary, which spurred some questions about how they work together to solve the toughest IT and security challenges. Here, we dig into the details and clear up some common questions about what these tools do, when they should be used and the value they provide.
At CrowdStrike, we stop breaches. It’s a simple yet powerful promise to our customers, our partners and to the world. As thousands join us today in person at Fal.Con 2022 in Las Vegas, and thousands more watch remotely via livestream, it’s a promise that we want to reinforce and extend. As cyberattacks have grown more powerful and disruptive, the importance of stopping the breach has grown. Stopping the breach is about more than stopping a single attack.
In a new 12-minute video Rakesh Shah AVP Product Management and Development of AT&T Cybersecurity, explains Extended Detection and Response (XDR). This video was part of the virtual Black Hat USA event in August. It’s not product-specific and explains what can be a very confusing concept in a delightfully simple way.
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 and reducing time to detect and respond to threats.
In the cybersecurity industry, understanding the value and impact of the critical technology we use to keep organizations safe can often become lost in translation. This is undoubtedly the case with extended detection and response (XDR), where the continued misuse of the term has created more market confusion than clarity. The definition of XDR varies depending on who you ask.
