Finally, SME security professionals frequently struggle to learn, integrate, and maintain the various security tools in the organization, limiting their ability to address threats and keep attackers out.
To mitigate these threats, SMEs need simpler and well-integrated cybersecurity tools like XDR. XDR provides multiple tools that would otherwise be cost prohibitive to acquire and then also provides these tools pre-integrated, which is also challenging for SMEs to achieve.
The differences between open XDR and native XDR. XDR collects security data from various sources to enable automated threat detection, analysis, and remediation.
Native XDR, on the other hand, combines security tools and capabilities from a vendor's portfolio to provide one all-in-one solution that's easy to deploy and use.
In the webinar, Allie recommends that all small/medium-sized companies follow some best practices when evaluating XDR offerings for their security requirements.
Vendors focused on providing superior customer support enable SMEs with small security teams to take full advantage of their platform's telemetry, threat investigations, and automated incident response capabilities.
