For most organizations today, endpoint protection is the primary security concern.
The eBook, titled Why Autonomous XDR is Going to Replace NGAV/EDR, starts with a look at how NGAV and EDR tools can defend an organization with the "Assume breach" mentality - expecting a breach to occur and protecting endpoints from extended breach incidents.
The result is that instead of better protection, adding so many more tools often results in worse security.
Instead, the eBook posits that autonomous extended detection and response tools, which include endpoint security, can expand the protection scope to networks, user behaviors and add automated response capabilities.
A major advantage that an XDR provides is that it consolidates a number of security tools into a single, unified platform.
Most importantly, XDRs reduce the cost of security significantly while providing tools that support even the most resource-constrained security teams.
