Organizations are transitioning from traditional systems such as endpoint detection and response (EDR) and security and information event management (SIEM) to XDR, in a move that is analogous to the transition from agile to DevOps work processes.

The purpose of XDR is to promote the visibility of threats and security incidents throughout an organization’s ecosystem.

Here are some of the advanced technologies that have recently matured and power the XDR information experience: While XDR is widely believed to be the future of EDR and network security, it is a new technology and there are several pitfalls you should try to avoid in your implementation: XDR is not just a technology platform, it is a new organizational model that will help security teams work more closely together, focusing on threats rather than on specific tools or IT systems.

XDR technology will make it easier for security teams to act as a whole, and apply security tooling and practices consistently to a variety of environments, from a developer’s workstation to a full production environment.
