XDR- The latest TLA or the Newest Cyber
Shield.
Although many cybersecurity vendors have jumped aboard the XDR train, few
companies have actually designed and built a native, holistic XDR solution like
Bitdefender. Many companies have gathered a variety of security tools in order to
create XDR. However, this approach doesn't offer the same benefits that a custom-
built XDR system. A unified detection layer with integrated user experience and
response capabilities.
Sorting through alphabet soup: EDR and
MDR vs.
EDR and managed detection and response (MDR) are both important security
technologies with their own advantages. EDR solutions can be used to protect all
endpoints in an organization. This includes desktops, phones and servers. Most
attacks can be used to gain access to organizations via some kind of endpoint. This
could be phishing attempts, employees downloading malware, or even accidental
downloads.
EDR solutions provide a detection layer that analyzes telemetry and other events
coming from endpoints. It will alert security personnel if it finds an issue. MDR
services offer customers the same functionality but have the added benefit of security
analysts who are available 24x7 to triage and investigate any incidents.
Organizations can reap the benefits of EDR, MDR and XDR. XDR is more than just
detection and response.
The benefits of XDR
XDR, a new type EDR solution, combines telemetry with event data from a wider
variety of sources. XDR extends coverage beyond the endpoints, by including data
from sensors as well as other sources across the network. This includes adding
telemetry to specific systems like identity and authentication systems, productivity
tools (e.g Office 365), and systems in the cloud.
XDR goes beyond adding data sources.
These are five important aspects organizations must consider when choosing a native
XDR system.
A shared detection layer
One of the main differences between a real XDR solution and a collection of security
tools that have been repackaged under the XDR label is the shar ed detection layer. To
create an XDR solution, some security vendors will combine a network detection tool
with a response and a tool to manage endpoints. Customers will be expected to
integrate various detection logic and products required for incident ma nagement. This
will increase the workload of security personnel.
A shared detection layer must be present in an XDR solution. This layer should cover
all sensors and data sources. Only organizations can use a unified XDR platform built
on a shared detection layer to identify threats at various stages of the attack -kill chain,
cross-correlate data, and gain a better understanding about the incident. Bitdefender
XDR provides built-in response capabilities at every point where a threat has been
identified. This makes it easier for security analysts to do their jobs more efficiently.
Coverage in the attack kill chain
The shared detection layer allows security teams to detect threats and intervene at
any point in the attack-killing process.
EDR solutions can be used for identifying attacks at specific points within the kill
chain. These are the endpoints. XDR can help security teams identify attacks
earlier. Security teams can detect attacks early in the reconnaissance stage, such as
when an attacker tests an organization's authentication system to determine if it is
possible to access it. Network attacks can be detected by security teams, such as
commands or control systems being used to transmit data in ways they
shouldn’t. Security analysts are able to spot ransomware, phishing attempts, and
ransomware via email using the right XDR solution.
Security analysts have greater access to unified XDR platforms that share a detection
layer. This gives them more options to identify and stop threats at all points in the ki ll
chain.
Cross-event correlation
Security teams can use a unified XDR platform, which is built on a shared layer, to
detect events from various sources and sensors within the company and create a
complete picture. For example, they can identify similar activity by analyzing time,
source, behavior and other factors. This allows security analysts the ability to do a
deeper analysis.
Security teams may be able find the cause of an attack and perform post -incident
analysis. They are not equipped to stop an attack as it is occurring without having a
full view of the situation. The XDR platform's cross-event correlation and shared layer
gives a comprehensive view of the situation, allowing for a more targeted
response. Security analysts can see the first incident in a kill chain, and then follow
the path to stop it from spreading.
Improved response to incidents
Security teams should have the ability to respond to XDR solutions. Security analysts
are able to respond to any attack, wherever it may be detected. XDR can cover more
of an organization's network or endpoints. Analysts can use a shared reaction layer to
target their response to determine the best way to kill or disconnect machines to stop
an incident.
An XDR solution should provide both manual and automated responses. It could also
block malicious network connections. With more coverage and context, faster
response times are possible.
An integrated experience for analysts
The user experience is an important part of any XDR system. It can bring security
analysts significant benefits if done right. It is not productive if it results in more
coverage or more information.
Bitdefender GravityZoneXDR provides security analysts with an easy -to-understand
overview of the entire incident, including all the systems and sensors that were
impacted. The summary also includes a timeline and other details, in a digestible
format. To give an overview of the situation, security teams can send the summary out
to all parties. Security teams can access more details, including every file, user, and
activity that was affected by an incident. This detail is useful for incident analysis,
post-incident triage, and root cause analysis.
DIGITAL DEVICES LTD
Long before Apple set an average consumers mindset to replacing their handheld gadgets in
two years, Digital Devices Ltd believed in Moore's law that computing will double every two
years. With our heritage from the days of IBM Personal Computer XT, our founders have gone
through the technology advancements of the 1990s and 2000s realizing that technology is an
instrumental part of any business's success. With such a fast pace industry, an IT department
can never be equipped with the tools and training needed to maintain their competitive edge.
Hence, Digital Devices has put together a team of engineers and vendor partners to keep up
with the latest industry trends and recommend clients on various solutions and options available
to them. From forming close relationships with networking and storage vendors like Juniper,
SolarWinds and VMWare to high-performance computing by HPE or AWS Cloud solutions,
Digital Devices Limited offers the latest technology solutions to fit the ever-growing needs of
the industry.
Our experts can guide you through the specifications and build cost efficiencies while providing
high end, state-of-the-art customer services. We research and analyses market and its current
demand and supply chain by offering wide range of bulk supplies of products like AKG C414
XLII, Shireen Cables DC-1021, Shireen Cables DC-2021, Dell p2419h monitor, Dell
U2419H, Dell P2719H, Dell P2219H, Lenovo 62A9GAT1UK, LG 65UH5F-H and Complete IT
Infrastructure products and services.
