TRENDS processes , and tech are three legs of a stool . If you overemphasise one , the stool becomes wobbly and can topple . There must be balance . What we see in our survey are real-world examples of those who had wobbly stools , and what it cost them .”
In the context of their cyberincident , respondents were polled on the benefits of extended detection and response ( XDR ), the emerging approach in cybersecurity that brings together disparate security tools in a powerful single-pane solution . Some 72 % cited faster and more efficient threat detection and response . Among those respondents that did not have XDR deployed at the time of their incident , all agreed that the technology would have at least lessened the impact of the breach , and almost all ( 91 %) believed it would have prevented the incident altogether .
“ XDR is one of the best cybersecurity investments available today ,” continued Shaju . “ It offers improved , consolidated visibility by ingesting data from siloed security solutions . It offers automated analysis that yields insights that would be unlikely to emerge from manual processes . The security function is therefore empowered to carry out
What is clear from what interviewees told us is that people , processes , and tech are three legs of a stool .
faster , more productive investigations because the platform has already prioritised avenues of inquiry . Here we can see an end to alert fatigue and the beginning of a new era of high morale in the SOC and less risk across the board . and if that is not enough to get security leaders thinking in a new direction , imagine making a business case for XDR in which you can say with confidence that the entire security stack , now consolidated and simplified , will have a lower total cost of ownership .
“ Every day our security professionals are under siege . Our Mind of the CISO reports show this , not in theory but in fact . XDR lifts them up and lets them take the fight to the threat actor .”
