Security News > 2021 > April > XDR and MDR: What’s the difference and why does it matter?

Simply put, XDR encompasses more than one type of detection, but it can be as little as two in some cases.

XDR promises to make security teams more efficient, productive and effective via centralized historic and real-time event data in common formats, and with scalable, high-performance storage, fast-indexed searches and automation-driven responses.

XDR solutions are pulling data from a variety of solution sets possibly comprised of even more tools, and they are flooding analysts with an overwhelming amount of threat data to be analyzed.

XDR represents a natural evolution of endpoint detection and response solutions.

Without them, using XDR amounts to simply dumping everything you can possibly collect about threats in a big pot and letting it simmer.

An XDR solution without adequate human expertise/staffing behind it will only ever be a tool.
