What are the 5 things you need to do when choosing an XDR solution? Find out!

A well implemented XDR platform enables the SOC team by giving them access to all the tools and dashboards to be able to quickly scope an incident so the response and remediation actions can be initiated. This XDR platform should have the necessary information curated from different point products such as SWG, SEG, CASB, DLP, EDR, SIEM, Firewall, IDS/IPS, NDR etc. so that the SOC analyst should be able to quickly find out all the endpoints (remote, mobile, cloud, IOT devices) that have been part of this intrusion via different attack channels such as Endpoint, Network, Email and Cloud.

XDR often gets confused with similar “detect and respond” acronyms that make up the alphabet soup of cybersecurity technology. Following is a quick explanation of the differences between XDR and other detection and response technologies

Extended detection and response (XDR) collects threat data from previously siloed security tools across an organization’s technology stack for easier and faster investigation, threat hunting, and response. An XDR platform can collect security telemetry from endpoints, cloud workloads, network email, and more.

#1 Your organization has adopted multiple cloud providers

The move to the cloud poses new challenges. One of the simplest ways attackers can get to an organization's crown jewels in the cloud is by clearing attack paths through a combination of network access and permissions. In what's quickly becoming a go-to method, many attackers use cloud-native privilege escalation techniques like PassRole to gain privileged access. The smallest drift in an environment can open up these attack paths in seconds, creating utter madness for a business. With the right privileges, data exfiltration takes mere moments and is almost impossible to detect.

Think of CNAPP as addressing the security of an application throughout its entire life cycle, rather than focusing on traditional IT silos or security domains.

Key Features of Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) provide a comprehensive set of security capabilities for cloud-native applications. These solutions protect cloud-native environments against evolving threats and ensure the integrity and compliance of applications by providing container security, advanced threat intelligence, DevOps integration, microservices and serverless application security, as well as compliance and governance functionalities.

What is a CNAAP and What are Benefits and Key Features? A Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) is a cloud-native security model that encompasses Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Service Network Security (CSNS), and Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) in a single holistic platform.
