When procuring an endpoint platform , look for an open architecture that enables bidirectional integration with an XDR platform .
FEATURE techniques and procedures ( TTPs ). This can occur in a scheduled or automated style . Forensics is how we improve our security posture ; post-event analysis is impossible without it , so information gathering must be comprehensive .
Intelligence feeds
All these sensors are ineffective on their own . Their telemetry must be complemented by strong threat intelligence . Threat landscapes are so treacherous because of their constant evolution . Gathered data and intel feeds about outside incidents can come together to help security teams keep up with the changes . For a business that straddles physical , virtual and cloud environments , the ideal solution will provide a hybrid deployment and management architecture . Any good vendor will be able to adapt to your business model .

When procuring an endpoint platform , look for an open architecture that enables bidirectional integration with an XDR platform .

It is also worth mentioning that the use of multiple vendors will compromise your ability to share intelligence across the security ecosystem . Each sensor described here often becomes a single solution in the market and , when deployed , becomes a silo . By unifying them with a single purpose and a data-sharing approach , we essentially reinvent EDR for the hybrid era .
If you have been keeping up with developments in the cybersecurity industry , you may be wondering why I have mentioned XDR only once , in passing . In fact , EDR is just one branch of XDR , which is an extensive platform that unites many branches of cybersecurity , including network , email and cloud . When procuring an endpoint platform , look for an open architecture that enables bidirectional integration with an XDR platform .
Remember , EDR is not the end of the story , merely a vital part of it that should not be ignored simply because our security conversation has evolved . u www . intelligentciso . com
