Respond more effectively to modern risks

Cloud security best practices: What you need to know

To enable businesses to effectively respond to modern threats, managed security services (MSS) have evolved to deliver a new breed of holistic solutions: MDR and XDR.

But what's behind these acronyms, and how do they help your organisation reduce its level of risk?

MDR solutions improve the signal-to-noise ratio of alerts, closing telemetry gaps, and narrowing talent gaps. Endpoint logs and EDR monitoring generate alerts, but they often do not provide sufficient detail to contextualize the alerts received.

XDR platforms incorporate data from multiple sources, including cloud platforms, email, network traffic capture, EDR, and endpoint logs, enabling MDR providers to contextualise alerts the same way their customers do.
