XDR - The Answer to an Increasingly Complex Threat Landscape

Extend Visibility, Detect Early and Respond Faster with XDR.

Understanding eXtended Detection and Response (XDR)

The eXtended Detection and Response concept is a SaaS tool that extends an enterprise's threat detection and response capabilities while providing a simpler view of threats in a single interface. The concept of XDR is becoming more and more widespread in the cybersecurity world. However, many still need to fully understand what this new security approach is all about.

Accelerate Threat Detection & Response

XDR offerings combine threat intelligence from a single security platform to deliver a unified security operations system capable of detecting and responding to incidents across domains and environments. The key to true XDR is combining data from multiple security components to amplify detection with centralized incident response capabilities.

With XDR, you can minimize visibility gaps, alert fatigue and staffing challenges, while improving productivity, detection and response times, and ultimately, the overall strength and efficacy of your security posture.

What is XDR used for?

XDR breaks down the silos caused by disparate security tools, using a centralized approach that gathers and cross-detects threats from multiple security domains. XDR then automatically correlates these security alerts, turning them into larger incidents, allowing security teams greater visibility into attacks and providing incident prioritization.

How does XDR work?

XDR collects telemetry data and automatically correlates detections across multiple security domains including endpoint, identity, email, and network. Using AI and machine-learning technologies, XDR performs automatic analysis to integrate them into a centralized security system and security professionals get a unified incident experience to take quicker remediation actions.

XDR Benefits

XDR consolidates multiple security products into a unified security platform. It offers a range of benefits that equip organizations with holistic, flexible, and efficient protection against threats. Unified visibility across all your data automatically detects and responds to attacks, streamlines notifications, identifies incident prioritization, and increases productivity.

ThreatSync - A Unified XDR-Based Approach

ThreatSync is the driver behind the XDR solution available within WatchGuard’s Unified Security Platform architecture. It provides a Cloud-based, integrated approach to implementing extended detection and response capabilities across environments, users and devices.

Datasheet

WatchGuard ThreatSync solution empowers security experts by delivering widely unified visibility, cross detections, and orchestrated response to threats and suitable for any organization, regardless of budget, size, or complexity.

Extend

Build your XDR strategy with tight integrations and cross-domain data telemetry from WatchGuard’s latest-gen technologies. By broadening the range of data feeds from your growing security stack you have far greater visibility as well as stronger protection.

Detect

Move away from a siloed security approach and adopt threat intelligence detection coming from multiple sources. ThreatSync uses AI and ML technologies to identify potential threats in real time across multiple domains to reduce the mean time to detect (MTTD).

Respond

Put XDR into action and respond to threats in a flash. ThreatSync reduces mean time to respond (MTTR) by enabling automated response actions to neutralize threats across the enterprise in a simpler and faster process, reducing risk and offering higher accuracy.

Key Features of WatchGuard ThreatSync

The cybersecurity industry has long been operating in siloes where security tools don't communicate with each other. Security teams are long overdue for a solution that provides a comprehensive security posture. ThreatSync, WatchGuard's XDR solution, is equipping modern security teams with a centralized incident intelligence tool to consolidate security and provide extended detection and response.

Beat the Threat Uncertainty with Unified Visibility

Dealing with imprecise threat detection? ThreatSync increases accuracy and speeds up detection by automatically unifying threat data in the whole WatchGuard security stack in a single interface. Get a complete picture of threats and the context of cross-detections from a single pane of glass without users needing to learn and use multiple consoles.

Give Your IT Team Time Back with Incident Prioritization

Too often, cybersecurity teams spend a great deal of time prioritizing risks, incidents, and threats, with the expectation that they will make sense of them quickly. Obtain scores and detect malicious scenarios that provide incident prioritization context, helping IT & SEC teams understand the threat’s risk level and know exactly where to start and make the most accurate decisions faster.

Detect Earlier for Better Protection

Eliminate the need to manually aggregate security data from different sources and reduce the burden of finding threats. Uncover threats earlier with ThreatSync, which presents a unified user experience by correlating activities monitored from cross-domain data. This reduces the MTTD and clears up the obstacles that slow down a security team. The earlier you detect, the faster you respond.

Respond Faster to Threats

When it comes to security, the chance of successfully responding to a breach is a matter of knowledge and time. Once security experts have the information they need, it is easy to respond quickly. Connect the related detections across your ecosystem with ThreatSync and enable your team to determine and automate multiple response actions to prevent threats from spreading into the whole organization.
