What Does Sun Tzu Have to Do with XDR? More Than You Might Think!
Military general and philosopher Sun Tzu once led the largest armies in the world and authored The Art of War, still considered a masterpiece of tactical warfare and very relevant as we wage our battles against evolving cyberattacks. That’s because even though threat intelligence is a relatively new discipline in our cyber defense processes, it has actually been around for more than 2,500 years.
Corelight & Microsoft Defender for IoT: Through an XDR lens
What is the XDR paradox? It’s the hottest term in security but there is no consensus yet on the right definition. Why is that? Many organizations have deployed EDR and are benefiting from it, but also looking to the gaps that EDR can’t address such as unmanaged / compromised devices or network-centric TTPs. Likewise, many vendors of EDR/SIEM products have realized they have the same general workflow (analyze data, present an alert, triage it, etc).
XDR: Demystifying the Hottest Cybersecurity Buzzword
Extended detection and response (XDR) has transpired into a market description that, in my not so humble opinion, proves to be as troublesome as the phrases “next gen” or “machine learning” were from 2016 to 2020. I’ll quote myself from a popular blog post from my time at Gartner: Naming aside, the one thing that all InfoSec commentators agree on is that XDR is an evolution of the endpoint-centric approach pioneered by legacy security vendors.

XDR marketing is fueling the cybersecurity problem for businesses
If there is one positive we can take from the last sixteen months, it is businesses embracing a more flexible working culture for their employees. Fundamental changes to the traditional nine-to-five working day means that many companies, in part, have already successfully transformed some of their operations to meet the demands of a new hybrid working world that is now very much the norm.
Introducing AT&T Managed Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
In today’s dynamic threat landscape, having different tools to meet unique security requirements helps keep data protected. However, businesses today have 10 to 50+ security tools and consequently spend too much time managing them instead of protecting against cybercrime. This security tool overload creates internal challenges and potentially distracts from the primary business mission.
Splunk and Mandiant: Formidable Defense Against Attackers
The security landscape is ever-changing, intensified by more sophisticated threats, and an increasing number of employees working from home leading to an expanding attack surface. Security professionals are tasked with maintaining a secure environment against a plethora of threats, manifested in thousands of alerts and events that are generated by security controls every day.
Elastic Security: Building the future of Limitless XDR
At ElasticON Global 2021, the team behind Elastic Security shared how we’re building the future of Limitless XDR (Extended Detection & Response) by unifying the capabilities of SIEM, endpoint security, and cloud security. With Limitless XDR, practitioners can prevent, detect, and respond to the threats of today and tomorrow.
Considerations when choosing an XDR solution
Cybersecurity is a fast-moving space. In fact, it’s hard to think of a time that security has been moving more quickly. As we continue to move into the cloud, work from home, and otherwise continue the digital transformation of our businesses, additional capabilities are needed as new threats are discovered.
