XDR (Extended Detection and Response) is a security solution that integrates data from multiple security products to provide comprehensive detection, investigation, and response capabilities across endpoints, networks, cloud, and other security layers. XDR extends the capabilities of EDR by aggregating and correlating data from multiple security tools to provide a more holistic view of security incidents.
Core Components
- Data Integration: Aggregation of data from multiple security tools
- Cross-Domain Analysis: Analysis of threats across different security domains
- Threat Intelligence: Integration with threat intelligence feeds
- Automated Investigation: Automated correlation of security events
- Response Orchestration: Coordinated response across security tools
- Unified Dashboard: Single pane of glass for security operations
