The goal of XDR systems is to detect and counter security threats at all stages of the cyber-attack, from the point of entry to data extraction. This system offers a universal approach to ensuring the entire security landscape is protected from threats that could cause considerable losses to the organization. The following are the main advantages of using XDR in your business:

 

#1. Enhanced Visibility

Sufficient visibility is vital in the cybersecurity sector. Having enough information about possible security threats helps the security expert to develop more robust defense mechanisms. This has been one of the key drivers of demand for XDR from many organizations. XDR is a security tool that integrates data from various sources, such as endpoint devices, email systems, and network traffic. This data helps the security expert build a profile of the organization’s environment and come up with ways of quickly detecting potential threats.

 

#2. Greater Control

Presently, data has proved highly vital for businesses globally. Therefore, businesses need reliable data protection systems to protect themselves from the loss or theft of company information. A good option is using XDR, which provides protection and flexible control of access to company information. XDR system enables a business to establish granular permissions that define which users have access to what information. In addition, XDR security enables the business to monitor and audit how company information is utilized.

 

#3. Advanced Perimeter Protection

Businesses that use XDR systems can benefit from having stronger perimeter security because XDR solutions offer a complete assessment of the activity happening across the network. Since XDR combines data from numerous security protocols and devices, it is easy for a security analyst to see everything that is happening with the network all the time.

 

#4. Shorter Response Time

As world processes are being digitized more and more, there is an increasing demand for faster solutions. For example, many businesses globally want all the necessary decisions to be made faster and operational glitches addressed as soon as they crop up. This has led to the widespread adoption of XDR solutions. This is because XDR can detect problems early and stop them from causing a lasting negative impact on the business.

 

#5. Improved Management Of Security Systems

XDR relies on machine learning and artificial intelligence to identify and counter threats as they occur in real-time. In addition, XDR allows for the automation of most of the manual processes that come with conventional security management systems, thereby lowering the overall cost of security risk management.

 

Issues Hampering Full Application Of XDR Systems

Despite the many benefits of using XDR systems, there are several challenges during the implementation phase of this security solution. For instance, deploying the system is somewhat complex and may not be appropriate for all organizations. Below are the significant challenges faced during the implementation of XDR:

 

#1. Conflict With Legal Systems

Before implementing a new security system like XDR, it is crucial to ensure it is compatible with all the legal requirements in that jurisdiction. The efficacy of the system depends on its ability to connect to and gather information from numerous legacy systems. This can be challenging, notably if the design of the legacy system lacks the necessary security features. For example, the system may lack the required APIs or could be configured in a manner that significantly limits data extraction.

 

#2. Integration Difficulties

You must implement a robust security system appropriately to offer an organization’s data maximum security. Nonetheless, it can be difficult to implement an XDR security system. This is because an XDR solution needs to combine and work with numerous existing security systems to function correctly to safeguard company data. To provide complete online protection, the XDR system must gather and correlate data from numerous and different sources.

 

#3. Getting Used To The New Security System

It can be difficult for the business staff to adapt and get used to the newly installed security system, especially if they have been using the traditional security system for some time. The business staff might need to be trained on the best ways of utilizing the new security system, while some extra measures may be necessary at this point to guarantee that business data is stored and accessed safely.
