XDR vs. SIEM: Defeating Cyber Chaos

Jul 10, 2025 By WatchGuard Technologies In WatchGuard
Cybersecurity decision-makers face a growing challenge: defending against a rising tide of threats without drowning in operational complexity. Designed for large security teams, SIEM platforms often introduce more chaos than clarity, burdening small teams with high costs, complex deployments, and overwhelming data. In this webinar, Stephen Helm and Ricardo Arroyo will discuss the core differences between SIEM and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) and explain why XDR is emerging as the smart, scalable choice for modern MSPs and lean IT security teams.

How Modern XDR Platforms Spot Insider Threats Before Damage is Done

Jul 8, 2025 By Fidelis Security In Fidelis Security
Most people imagine hackers, ransomware, or harmful software when they hear about cybersecurity threats. However, a quieter danger often comes from within — insider threats. These might include upset employees, external contractors, or even innocent users tricked by scams like credential phishing. Detecting insider threats is one of the toughest and most vital parts of cybersecurity today. This is where Extended Detection and Response (XDR) comes into play.

Comparing MDR and MXDR: Key Differences, Suitability, and Trustwave's Solutions

Jun 27, 2025 By Trustwave In Trustwave
As cyber threats grow in frequency and sophistication, organizations are increasingly turning to managed security services to help monitor, detect, and respond to attacks. Two prominent security solutions have emerged to these needs: Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR). While both aim to enhance an organization's ability to detect and respond to threats, they differ significantly in scope, capabilities, and suitability for various environments.

You thought Elastic only did SIEM? Think again!

Jun 23, 2025 By Jamie Hynds In Elastic
Elastic Extended Security, born from the acquisition of Endgame, brings years of battle-tested EDR and threat prevention expertise directly into Elastic’s Search AI Platform. This isn’t a bolt-on or third-party integration; it’s a native, deeply embedded component that redefines what’s possible with XDR. As data volumes grow exponentially, traditional EDR tools hit walls. Elastic doesn’t.

OT Asset Discovery Using XDR: From Blind Spots to Full Visibility

Jun 18, 2025 By Fidelis Security In Fidelis Security
Operational Technology (OT) environments are increasingly under pressure from evolving cyber threats. With digital transformation accelerating across industries, the need for comprehensive visibility into all connected assets is more important than ever. According to the 2022 OT/ICS Cybersecurity Survey by SANS Institute, nearly 40% of industrial organizations reported lacking a complete inventory of OT assets—highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive cyber asset visibility.

How Can You Master the Incident Response Lifecycle with an XDR Solution?

Jun 13, 2025 By Fidelis Security In Fidelis Security
Today’s advanced threats move faster and cost more—average data breach costs exceed $3.8 million—while defenders struggle under a deluge of siloed alerts and high false-positive rates. This fragmented visibility means breaches often go undetected for months, giving attackers ample time to exfiltrate data, escalate privileges, and inflict major damage.

How Cloud-Native Security Makes XDR More Powerful in 2025

Apr 11, 2025 By Fidelis Security In Fidelis Security
As businesses move to the cloud, security approaches need to move at the same pace. By 2023, 70% of workloads will be running in cloud environments—but traditional defenses lag behind. With an average of 1,427 cloud services in use and cloud security expenditures projected to explode past $48.9 billion by 2026, the risks have never been greater. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is stepping up as an unstoppable force, particularly when being driven by cloud-native architecture.
