Webinar: XDR or EDR: How Should Your SOC Choose?

Webinar: XDR or EDR: How Should Your SOC Choose?
May 21, 2021 |
1 minute read
If you have doubts in your organization’s ability to identify and defeat modern attackers, you’re not alone. We’re living in a world where IT infrastructure, attacker trends, and workspace norms are constantly shifting, so it’s especially challenging to build a solid security foundation with tested best practices.
Companies are struggling to prove effective cybersecurity due to a lack of visibility, a shortage of skilled staff, and challenges matching today’s accelerated business pace.
A foundational security milestone is protecting our global endpoints: the laptops, desktops, and servers that make up the backbone of our corporate environments. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) technologies can provide effective threat detection and protection, so why are we now hearing about Extended Detection and Response, or XDR as the latest new trend?

Featuring Cybereason security leaders Sam Curry and Israel Barak, along with Forrester Security and Risk Research Analyst Allie Mellen, join us for an exciting live panel discussion to learn:
- What is Extended Detection and Response technology?
- How have attackers and their campaigns changed over the past 18 months?
- Can XDR help me stop ransomware and targeted cyber attacks?
- How are organizations using XDR for security operations today?
- When should I consider XDR over EDR, SIEM, or SOAR technologies?

Cybereason Security Team
The Cybereason Security Team champions cyber defenders by providing future-ready attack protection that unifies security from the endpoint, to the enterprise, to everywhere the battle moves. The Cybereason Defense Platform combines the industry’s top-rated detection and response (EDR and XDR), next-gen anti-virus (NGAV), and proactive threat hunting to deliver context-rich analysis of every element of a Malop (malicious operation). The result: defenders can end cyber attacks from endpoints to everywhere.
