As the global threat landscape continues grow and evolve, security tool sprawl is a common concern among many organizations. These tools are generating an overwhelming amount of data that lacks context and is not immediately actionable. While many modern security solutions have some built in integration functionality or API capabilities for integration into the larger security tools footprint, many require some sort of “glue” in order to build a cohesive cross-platform detection and response strategy. This presentation will highlight the importance of developing an Extended Detection and Response (XDR) strategy that utilizes all of that valuable data and gets your organization to remediation quickly and confidently.
