Extended Detection & Response (XDR)

Extended detection and response, or XDR for short, is a security approach that unifies threat detection and incident response by collecting and correlating data from multiple security layers—including endpoints, email, networks, cloud workloads, and identity systems. This holistic view aims to improve visibility, accelerate threat detection, and streamline response actions across the entire IT ecosystem, moving beyond siloed security tools. While XDR provides powerful technical detection, security awareness training empowers users to be a crucial first line of defense, often identifying and reporting threats like phishing that become initial inputs for XDR analysis.
