What is extended detection and response (XDR)?

Extended detection and response (XDR) is the technology foundation that leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to enhance the visibility into the threat landscape and extends threat containment capabilities that traditional tools such as EDR and NDR offer.

It brings context to external threat intelligence and to the internal business environment by synthesizing data from synthesizing security telemetry including network, endpoint, cloud, email, identity, IoT and more.

Additionally, it also finds patterns within the data ingested to help with threat detection, reduce false positives, and automate the threat response and remediation.

XDR is the technology foundation for highly effective managed detection and response.
