It is becoming increasingly clear that the foundation for robust cybersecurity must embrace the endpoint. Good XDR must build on a solid base of endpoint detection and response (EDR) EDR helps narrow the focus on the right alerts quickly so threats can be found and mitigated. EDR is built to cover all endpoints and deliver a single, actionable alert and a single pane of glass, along with centralized response capabilities. The best-in-class XDR tools are also cloud-native, leveraging the power and scale of cloud to ingest and correlate volumes of security data and automate response.”]
