“The clear purpose of XDR is to identify more threats earlier in the kill chain, detect them faster and respond faster," says Aaron Sharp, cybersecurity consultant at Verizon Advanced Solutions.
Mark Mori, solutions executive, security at Verizon Japan, adds: “If you don't ingest threat intelligence properly, you are going to be late to the game. XDR helps in threat intelligence, but you have to constantly act on the feeds.”
In a joint video interview with Information Security Media Group, Sharp and Mori discuss:
- The evolution of XDR;
- Why XDR is becoming more widely used;
- How XDR can help mitigate supply chain risks.
