XDR definition

A cybersecurity platform that integrates different security products into a unified system. XDR tools consolidate data from multiple security layers (such as servers and endpoints) into a single console to help respond to threats faster.

Real XDR benefits

• Efficient investigations into security incidents due to aggregate data from multiple sources
• Quick identification of sophisticated threats due to real-time monitoring of multiple security layers
• Easier to pinpoint the source of the threat by comparing attack data and timestamps across the network
