XDR

Stands for Extended Detection and Response. While EDR focuses on identifying and responding to threats at the endpoint level, XDR broadens the scope by collecting telemetry data and automatically correlating detections across multiple security domains, including endpoint, identity, email, network, and cloud. Using AI and machine-learning technologies, XDR then performs automatic analysis to integrate them into a centralized security system.
