A Comparative Analysis of SIEM-Driven and Alternative Approaches
As cyberthreats continue to evolve, organizations are increasingly exploring Extended Detection and Response (XDR) to fortify their cybersecurity stance. At the same time, more vendors are joining the space, building their XDR solution on a different foundation — EDR, closed or native systems, cloud-based, AI-driven and more.
Regardless of their base, XDR solutions typically meet three common themes:
- It’s a combination of multiple security tools, consolidated into one platform.
- They leverage automation or AI to save time and improve security outcomes.
- The goal is to improve threat detection and incident response capabilities.
One intriguing avenue organizations are exploring is SIEM-driven XDR, which integrates Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) as a foundational layer to provide a more holistic approach to security.
In this video, Matt Warner, CTO and co-founder of Blumira, will:
- Discuss the challenges SMBs face today
- Define each type of XDR approach
- Compare and contrast the benefits and challenges of each
- Provide key considerations for choosing the right XDR solution
- Choosing the Right XDR Strategy
