Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
Extended Detection and Response products that unify security data from endpoints, networks, cloud workloads, email, and identity systems into a single platform for detection and response. XDR platforms correlate alerts across data sources to surface complex attacks that individual tools miss. Vendor approaches include native XDR (single-vendor stack) and open XDR (multi-vendor integration).
XDR represents the direction detection and response technology is heading. SOC analysts working with XDR platforms benefit from cross-domain correlation that reduces investigation time. Security engineers evaluate whether native or open XDR better fits their environment. Understanding XDR architecture helps analysts interpret alerts that span multiple data sources.
