XDR
Extended Detection and Response
Correlates detection and response across endpoints, network, and cloud.
XDR unifies and correlates telemetry across endpoints, network, email, and cloud into a single detection and response platform, extending the host-only focus of EDR with cross-domain context. By stitching related signals into one incident, it reduces alert fatigue and speeds investigation and response. It overlaps with SIEM and SOAR but is usually a more integrated vendor stack. A noted pitfall is vendor lock-in, since native XDR tends to favor that vendor's own sensors.
eXtended Detection and Response: EDR stretched across endpoints, network, cloud, and email.
Looking XDR up is step one. Getting tested on it is step two.
