What is XDR?

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) unifies security telemetry across endpoints, networks, cloud, and applications for improved threat detection and response.

Beyond EDR

XDR extends EDR by correlating data across multiple domains, providing unified visibility and automated response that siloed tools cannot achieve.

XDR Capabilities

Phase 1

Cross-Domain Correlation

Unified visibility across security domains

Phase 2

AI Detection

ML-powered threat detection

Phase 3

Auto Response

Coordinated automated response

Phase 4

Unified Platform

  • Email security

Unified Detection

XDR correlates events across domains to detect multi-stage attacks that would be missed by siloed security tools.
