Extended Detection and Response (XDR)

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) expands on EDR by integrating security data from multiple sources — endpoints, networks, email, cloud services, and identity systems — into a unified platform for threat detection and response. Instead of managing separate security tools that each see only their piece of the picture, XDR correlates data across your entire environment.

XDR platforms provide security teams with a comprehensive view of threats as they move through an organization, from the initial phishing email to lateral movement across the network to data exfiltration. This integrated view enables faster, more accurate detection and response.

Why It Matters

XDR represents the evolution of security monitoring. While not explicitly required by CMMC, the integrated visibility XDR provides helps you meet multiple monitoring and detection requirements more effectively than siloed tools.
