is a cybersecurity technology that monitors and mitigates cyber security threats.
Extended detection and response (XDR) delivers security incident detection and automated response capabilities for security infrastructure. XDR integrates threat intelligence and telemetry data from multiple sources with security analytics to provide contextualization and correlation of security alerts. XDR must include native sensors, and can be delivered on-premises or as a SaaS offering. Typically, it is deployed by organizations with smaller security teams.

Enterprises increasingly operate in multicloud and hybrid environments, where they encounter an evolving cyberthreat landscape and complex security challenges. In contrast to targeted systems like endpoint detection and response (EDR), XDR platforms expand coverage to protect against more sophisticated types of cyberattacks. They integrate detection, investigation, and response capabilities across a wider range of domains, including an organization’s endpoints, networks, cloud applications and workloads, email, and data stores. They also drive efficiency across security operations (SecOps) with advanced cyberattack chain visibility, AI-powered automation and analytics, and broad threat intelligence.
We can help you learn how XDR solutions vary in maturity, cohesiveness, vision and realization, and see which XDR solution is ideal for your enterprise. Plus, understand the advantages and risks you need to consider before choosing an XDR vendor.
Getting the most value from an XDR platform requires careful planning, from creating a broad XDR strategy to measuring system performance. We at MaximAlert can help you with the below steps to help ensure a successful XDR implementation:
