XDR breaks down these siloes to give overextended MSPs, CISOs, CIOs and IT teams visibility into security breaches faster and respond more effectively.
Instead of simply alerting on an anomalous login attempt, XDR could actively block this type of attack by learning from employee behavior. For instance, when an employee logs in from home to access their office network from home, their typical routine establishes a pattern of normal behavior which educates XDR on what a “normal” login looks like.
Managed XDR for Cloud Workloads
Trend Micro Vision One detection data combined with threat intelligence from XDR is used to provide visibility and context into advanced threats that target cloud workloads, providing teams with visibility and context into advanced threats to analyze, prioritize, hunt and respond more quickly in order to reduce security breaches and data loss risks.
By harnessing powerful analytics, XDR eliminates alert fatigue by only surfacing high priority threats. This enables analysts and threat hunters to focus their time and attention on tackling those most dangerous and damaging, rather than writing, tuning, and managing detection rules.
XDR automates investigation and response activities using SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) incident response playbooks for dramatic SOC efficiency gains. With its focus on threat context and telemetry–from hosts affected to timelines and root cause information–XDR helps guide an investigation process which leads to remediation, resolution and recovery processes.
XDR assists your talented team members in performing at their best by taking on some of the more complex elements of threat detection and response. Furthermore, it can synchronize detection across different environments – data from Deep Security or other Trend Micro solutions could be sent directly to XDR for analysis, then automatically activated within cloud environments.
Managed XDR for Networks
With lone wolves, hacking groups, and nation states launching ransomware attacks such as ransomware, APTs, phishing campaigns, DDoS attacks and more against enterprises, security teams need an improved way of protecting critical assets – however this task often becomes overwhelming when combined with high levels of stress for them to manage alerts that become false positives and lack of integration between tools.
XDR solutions can assist with this challenge by eliminating alert fatigue, automating analysis of stealthy threats and streamlining incident response. They do this by consolidating multiple vendor detections from computers, servers, firewalls and endpoints into a single console for analysts to view all threats in context and prioritize risk appropriately.
XDR solutions that offer analysts easy access to advanced threat intelligence and powerful correlation content help automate analysis and investigation, saving security teams the trouble of continually writing, tuning, and managing detection rules; when responding to detected threats XDR solutions allow analysts to block access from endpoints or networks without writing scripts.
Managed XDR for Messaging
Contrary to most point products that focus on one layer or attack surface and require additional solutions or console switches for context, Trend Micro’s XDR integrates detection across its comprehensive portfolio of protection, enabling security professionals to detect and respond swiftly to advanced threats on both protected and unprotected devices – significantly decreasing risk and costs associated with breaches.
