What is EDR/XDR?

EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is a cybersecurity technology that continuously monitors endpoints (desktops, laptops, servers, etc.) for malicious activity. It collects and analyzes endpoint data to detect threats, enabling security teams to investigate and respond to incidents. XDR (Extended Detection and Response) expands upon EDR by integrating security data from multiple sources, such as email, network, and cloud workloads, providing a more comprehensive and correlated view of the threat landscape. XDR aims to improve threat detection accuracy and accelerate incident response by correlating security alerts across different security layers.
