Today’s IT teams are often tasked with security, meaning they must play a role in securing a sprawling environment of cloud infrastructure, data stores, and endpoints — alongside their other daily tasks.

To make matters more challenging, many of these busy, resource-strapped teams rely on several single-purpose tools to collect security data on their environment. Many of these tools can provide value when used correctly. However, managing disparate tools without a centralized view means teams may lack data correlation, which makes it difficult to identify early signs of an attack. This shortens the amount of time they have to identify and respond to a breach or ransomware infection.

Fortunately, there is another option. Extended detection and response (XDR) solutions provide a more holistic and integrated approach to security, empowering these teams to monitor their entire environments from a single pane of glass. With this holistic view, organizations can gain the visibility they need to identify the early signs of an incident much faster. Plus, XDR provides automation options for responding to incidents with immediate actions, such as isolating a device or blocking known threats.

This XDR Buyer’s Guide provides a comprehensive overview of XDR, including common key features, and purchase and implementation considerations. Download the guide to learn how XDR solutions can improve the entire organization’s cybersecurity posture and multiply the efforts of small IT teams.
