XDR – Managed SOC Services

Cyberattacks are increasing in number and complexity, and they not only cause significant financial losses, but also reputational damage. This makes it all the more important to put up effective defenses against such attacks before any damage ensues. But how do we go about effectively protecting critical IT infrastructures against attacks – especially in an era characterized by shortages of skilled workers, overburdened IT teams and limited resources?

Many of the measures proposed focus on rapid detection and an appropriate response to threats. This is referred to as extended detection and response (XDR). Detection involves the permanent monitoring of neuralgic points via behavior analysis based on artificial intelligence and machine learning. Anomalies are compared with behavior-based models and this information enriched with other security-relevant data (threat intelligence). Correlating all of these details supports the rapid detection of digital traces (compromise indicators). This also helps initiate a rapid, priority-based response, which in some cases takes place manually, but can increasingly be automated and orchestrated (keyword: SOAR), and integrated into modern MDR/XDR platforms.
