Written by Patti Hallock, Director of XDR Operations/Engineering at Agio Your security operations are critical, and every decision you make impacts those operations. When you have separate service providers–one for managed IT and another for extended detection & response (XDR)–you run the risk of delayed response and service.

I’ve worked with dozens of SecOps and Detection and Response teams over the past few years and it has become crystal clear to me how important it is to fix as many security issues as possible upstream. Or as it is more commonly known, “Shift Left Security”. Broadly, I see three camps on “Shift Left Security”

Here we go again. Just after the world was pulling itself out of the total economic shutdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, the R word looms on the horizon. We’ve seen our everyday lives touched by large scale inflation over the past 6 months. Groceries, Gas, common goods, everything is more expensive than it used to

For the last several years, MSP partners have been making a tough decision – should I build cybersecurity within my own business or outsource it?  Until a few years ago, the manual nature of SOC technology and cybersecurity talent made it very difficult to build your own service.  Today there are many new, more robust

Cybersecurity systems are ripe for disruption. Over the years, individual tools have proliferated, each with its own data format, causing a deluge of disparate data. Also, there is a global shortage of skilled cybersecurity analysts who can evaluate that data (and they are very expensive if you can find them). Finally, and hackers are getting

For security vendors and those in the XDR market specifically, there is an architectural axis of build vs. integrate. On one end, you have “Build / Acquire Everything” – vendors that are vertically integrated and want to be an enterprise’s entire security stack. On the other end, you have “Integrate with Everything” – vendors that

In detection and response, bidirectional integrations between security products, let alone unidirectional integrations, are not enough. There needs to be true cohesion amongst the entire security stack; otherwise, security operators are left with piles of data and endless API endpoints to figure out how to wire together. This is more important with Endpoint Detection &

Ransomware attacks are occurring at an increasingly staggering pace. The tactics for deploying it are evolving at an equally rapid pace. Ransomware-as-a-service providers on the dark web are using ML to create zero-day strains, and traditional security technologies are struggling to keep up.

Security Event and Information Management platforms (SIEMs) collect data from security logs and in doing so are supposed to identify blind spots, reduce noise and alert fatigue, and simplify detection and response to complex cyberattacks. However, SIEMs have not lived up to these promises. Now, the new idea is XDR – what are its advantages,

The current model for cybersecurity is broken. It consists of acquiring and deploying a lot of stand-alone tools, each with its own console, to analyze logs or traffic and detect anomalies that could be threats. In this model, it’s up to each security analyst to communicate with other analysts to determine whether each tool’s individual
