Why EDR or XDR Should be a Cybersecurity Priority
LMG Security’s endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (XDR) solutions are a key component of an effective cybersecurity program. EDR or XDR are now a foundation of your cybersecurity defense that are frequently recommended, and sometimes required, by regulatory, insurance, and private sector customers and partners.
EDR and XDR provides attack surface monitoring and delivers:
- State-of-the-art protection that goes beyond antivirus capabilities
- Automated threat identification – Detect and eradicate threats in moments
- Fast and effective incident response tools that help minimize damage
- Foundational cybersecurity that helps you meet regulatory, insurance, and third-party requirements and recommendations
What's the Difference Between EDR and XDR?
EDR is a more robust endpoint security solution that is a step up from traditional signature-based antivirus. Leading EDR tools offer a robust integrated threat intelligence solution with continuous real-time monitoring and behavioral detection as well as immediate mitigation and response, threat hunting, and historical forensic data collection capabilities. EDR lets you quickly investigate and respond to incidents in a way that antivirus cannot. With EDR, the solution not only detects and immediately quarantines threats, but it also provides the information you need for threat hunting and includes response capabilities.

XDR further extends the capabilities or EDR and incorporates different data sources from your network, email, and cloud, as well as integrates with SIEM and SOAR systems. It helps provide more contextual information using deeper integration with your existing technology stack. A recent IBM report says that XDR can cut 29 days off your time to contain a breach, and as many studies have proven, faster breach containment lowers your costs from a data breach.
