Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
Extended Detection and Response. A security platform that unifies telemetry from endpoints, networks, cloud workloads, email, and identity systems into a single detection and investigation experience. XDR correlates alerts across these data sources to surface attacks that individual tools miss when operating in isolation.
XDR represents the direction cybersecurity detection is heading. SOC analysts benefit from cross-domain correlation that reduces manual investigation time. Security engineers evaluate and deploy XDR platforms as organizations consolidate tool sprawl. Security architects design detection strategies that take full advantage of XDR correlation.
