What is XDR/EDR?

XDR (Extended Detection and Response) and EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) are cybersecurity technologies used to detect and respond to threats. EDR focuses specifically on endpoints (desktops, laptops, servers) by collecting and analyzing data from them to identify malicious activity. XDR expands on EDR by integrating data from multiple security layers, such as email, network, cloud, and endpoints, providing a more holistic and correlated view of threats across the entire environment. This allows for faster and more accurate threat detection, investigation, and response.
