The advent of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) offers an edge against advanced attacks, but many of the so-called "XDR approaches" available today are actually little more than extensions of current EDR solutions that rely on known Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) to find and block known threats. While they can deliver more visibility across network assets, they don't deliver the correlation necessary to weed out novel attacks where known IOCs are not available.
In contrast, Advanced XDR leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to automatically correlate telemetry from across disparate network assets to reveal attacks that have never been seen before. Advanced XDR detects earlier based on the more subtle chains of potentially malicious behavior to allow Defenders to remediate faster, and here's why.
