Understanding EDR vs. XDR: What’s the Difference and Why It Matters
Understanding the difference between Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is critical in today's cybersecurity landscape. While both solutions are designed to detect and respond to threats, EDR focuses on protecting individual devices like laptops and servers, whereas XDR takes a broader approach by integrating data from multiple security layers, such as networks and cloud services. This blog post dives into the unique capabilities of EDR and XDR, explaining how businesses can use these technologies to enhance protection, scale security, and improve efficiency in response to ever-evolving cyber threats.
