INDUSTRY WATCH
SECURITY TOOLS THAT COLLECT REAMS OF ENDPOINT DATA FROM A BANK ’ S HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SERVERS AND COMPUTERS , BUT DO NOT PROVIDE ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS OR CROSS- MACHINE CORRELATIONS , JUST CREATE MORE WORK FOR SECURITY TEAMS .
Leading XDR solutions provide an operation-centric approach to detecting and remediating attacks by automatically hunting for specific and anomalous behaviours , that other solutions miss . By looking at IOBs , it ’ s possible to not only gain actionable visibility into an active attack chain , but to also use that same progression of threat behaviours to protect organisations against similar attacks in the future .
Conclusion
XDR is the key to eliminating obstacles for effective threat detection and response , including log management and data collection tasks , agent deployment and maintenance cycles , and complex , never-ending query building for data extraction and behavioural detections . XDR breaks through data silos and unifies device and identity context in a single , visual investigation experience .
XDR can be an effective tool for financial services organisations to reverse the attacker advantage by extending detection and response capabilities across the broader IT ecosystem that makes up modern enterprise environments . XDR allows defenders to pinpoint , understand and end malicious operations across the entire IT stack whether on premises , mobile or in the cloud .
It ’ s a game of cat and mouse with threat actors , with organisations always needing to stay one step ahead of threats . XDR offers an opportunity to find the needle in the haystack – the threat that could do material damage to a financial institution . p
