Extended Detection and Response (XDR)

XDR is an alternative to the reactive endpoint solutions that provide only single-layered visibility over specific points. Though these layer-specific solutions are quite effective, they deliver a large volume of alerts that require a considerable amount of time in their investigation, response, and management.

XDR is a solution environment that takes EDR to the next level. XDR provides a multi-level approach to monitoring and reacting to an organization's cybersecurity infrastructure through filling gaps and integrating deployed solutions into a common reporting platform.

The Growing Importance of Endpoint Security

What to make of this world driven by technology? Is it a benefit or a problem for society? The truth is, it’s both.

While technology is the backbone of greater innovation, growth, and efficiency, it also opens the road to potential security breaches and other types of cyber attacks.

Essential Role of EDR in Safeguarding DevOps Network

Today, as we see, the success of DevOps depends on both the cultural shift around like-minded people and the relevant process, as well as the technical implementation skills of the team across both Dev and Ops. DevOps has evolved as one of the most popular software development approaches in recent years. Every software professional in build and release engineering will probably have a strong desire to become a DevOps expert. Nevertheless, DevOps has created a good amount of influence on the mindsets and technology landscapes of software organizations to build cloud compatible amenities in a highly competitive market environment.

With DevOps in place, we can clearly see automation has become a more critical element than software development cycles with the introduction of languages like Python and Go languages. Even addressing legacy issues like updates, fixes, and patches to software application services gas become quite flexible easy with the help of DevOps tools.

A Brief History of EDR Security

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions were developed to fill security gaps left by other tools. The need for EDR can be traced to the early 2010s, but the term EDR was officially coined in 2013. In this article, you’ll learn about the threats that lead to the development of EDR tools, past reincarnations of EDR solutions, and how EDR security will look like in the future.

2010: Threats Leading to The Development of EDR

In the early 2010s, attackers began developing methods for running malicious code without having to install malware. These attacks enabled them to bypass traditional security measures, which relied on identifying malicious executables. Below are some of the methods attackers developed and continue to refine.
