Security News > 2020 > August > Putting the Pieces Together for Extended Detection and Response
The definition of detection is very relevant as extended detection and response solutions become the next hot topic in the security industry.
What is meant by extended detection? Is it detecting something new, or finding all the indicators and pulling them together so you can get a complete picture of what is happening and respond effectively? The answer is clear if you back into it.
Say one of the pieces of data a detection tool finds is an IP address you don't recognize.
Just like detection isn't siloed in single tools, response isn't siloed in single tools either but must extend across your environment.
Now we need to look forward, making sure we use a deeper understanding of threats to optimize both our extended detection and response capabilities.
