Briana and Derrick talk to Principled about how XDR, or Extended Detection & Response, is helping SOC (security operations center) personnel increase their ability to detect and mitigate security breaches in real-time. The team developed personas that reflect today’s very active SOC analysts who need to detect persistent, under-the-radar threats, known as ‘low and slow’ approaches. The XDR solution uses automation to aggregate these persistent security threats and a progressive disclosure strategy to alert analysts about potential breaches.
