Extended Detection and Response (XDR) distinguishes itself from other solutions by its unified approach to enterprise-wide threat detection and response.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) focuses solely on monitoring and responding to threats at the endpoint/endpoint level.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) primarily collects and correlates security logs and events, but does not cover incident response.

Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) automates security alert response processes by leveraging external data sources.

Unlike these tools, an XDR platform integrates and analyzes data from multiple sources in real time: endpoints, networks, clouds, applications, databases, and more. This broad visibility allows them to detect sophisticated threats that would otherwise be missed by a point solution.

XDR’s strength also lies in its capabilities to orchestrate, automate, and guide analysts for rapid and comprehensive incident response.

Thus, the XDR approach consolidates the benefits of EDR, SIEM, and SOAR into a unified cybersecurity solution, providing maximum coverage.
