It's Time to Learn About
Open XDR
Open XDR technology is meant for teams like yours, where resources are scarce but attacks are plentiful.
With an Open XDR platform you can:
Integrate all your existing security, IT, and productivity data into a single platform.
Using Al and machine learning, quickly hone in on threats that could cause the most damage to your schools
Take decisive response actions directly from the Open XDR platform, making use of pre-built integrations into your endpoint, firewall, DLP and any other security fool you have deployed.
Don't be Fooled, Though
Some vendors touting Open XDR really mean they are open
to integrating with a minimal amount of 3rd party products.
If you choose them, be prepared to rip out your endpoint
product and use theirs.
True Open XDR products integrate with virtually any security
product on the market. That means you remain in charge
of your security stack.
Stellar Cyber is the innovator of Open XDR technology and
provides tons of useful resources to teach you about Open XDR.
