Demystifying XDR : Simplifying Cybersecurity for a holistic view
Luke Power , Managing Director of ANZ , Trellix , makes the case for ‘ holistic ’ security against cyberthreats .
Staying ahead of emerging threats requires businesses be constantly searching for new innovative solutions , which is made even more critical given the rate at which cyber threats are evolving .
One strategy employed to stay ahead is ‘ holistic security ’. While the subject has long been discussed , understanding how it can be implemented is a challenge in itself .
Is it a singular security platform ? Or a tool for better interoperability ?
Most importantly , what new threats are making this industry shift to holistic security so critical and why should businesses be looking into it – enter XDR .
Traditional security operations ( SecOps ) face managing many different security tools , leading to inherent challenges in effective threat detection and response . This fragmented approach results in inefficiencies , gaps in visibility and an increased risk of overlooking critical threats .
Enterprises need unified and proactive security measures to defend their entire landscape of technology assets , spanning legacy endpoints , mobile , network and cloud workloads without overburdening staff . Extended Detection and Response ( XDR ) represents the next generation of SecOps by unifying these tools into a comprehensive platform beyond traditional Endpoint Detection and Response ( EDR ) solutions .
